I'm drowning in real life problems

I’m surprised I haven’t gone psychotic / relapsed yet.

I actually wish I could cry, but it looks like the meds are also stopping that from happening.

It’s quite an experience to have to deal with “normie” type problems while schizophrenic.

Anyways. Just a little vent, as there’s nothing you guys can do.

I’m sorry you’re going through such a rough patch, @everhopeful. I hope things improve soon. :frowning: (hugs)

Do you have a therapist? Maybe you could vent to them, as often as needed. That’s what they are there for. They listen. Sometimes, they might offer advice, too. But maybe it would be good to just let it all out.

Yes zoa. But that’s about one third of the problem.

Thanks @Blossom . I don’t have a therapist though. It’s at times like this I wish I had.

Vent as much as you need to buddy. The forum is a good sounding board off which to bounce your experiences.

Thanks for remembering EH! Things are more quiet in my world. Things didn’t get resolved fully but it didn’t turn into a ■■■■ show either. Gotta take the breaks as I get them

I can give you a squishy (((hug))) and remind you that I think you’re awesome. You are one of the people I look to here as a good example of recovery, just so you know.

I’m sorry @everhopeful
You are a great guy and don’t deserve these problems your facing now.

Please hang in there and hold on.
This shall pass.

That’s a good question.

There’s just an element of uncertainty at the moment about some things that’s driving me bananas. I’ll have more certainty soon (I hope).
Thanks @Kxev
