And im just honestly getting so jealous of how easily they csn keep up with being adults. They both work full time, their house is spotless, they cook 3 square meals a day, they both can drive, they have a robust social life… like i know one at least has mental illness, but they function so well, and im realy sick of not functioning well. I want to try to step up my game. Ive been trying all year and have made some great strides but i want to keep pushing.

That’s how I feel when I’m over at my brother and his wife’s house. They have a level of functioning that I can only dream about.

I wouldn’t compare yourself to others. Especially if they have different issues.
I would compare yourself to your yesterday self!

Yes. What Jonathan said.
I usually don’t compare myself to normies like that. I know I will never be one. It would just bring out my symptoms to stress myself trying.
Having said that, I totally and completely understand where youre coming from. I wish I wasnt disabled too. It frustrates me to beat myself up about something I can’t change, and I can easily ruminate about it. That does nothing but exacerbate my condition, so I’ve learned to mostly stop it. I pretty much only do it when I’m in crisis, but even then, I can’t wish for normie life, just higher functioning sza. I’d often just settle for that!

I use to be jealous of my sister. She has a family of her own now and a big house. Now that i’ve focused on what I need to be, and have been healing from my old ways I realize she is just as, if not more miserable then everyone else. She is very bitter and not a good person at all. I usually think very low of her lately for it but I probably shouldn’t, cause it’s not her fault, the world is just hard on everyone and that jealousy is usually just a blinder.

People have told me they couldn’t handle life at all if they had delusions and hallucinations. They think it’s way too hard to deal with.
Don’t feel bad like that. You deal with way more than they do with your illness.
I understand one of them is mentally I’ll but it could be much milder than yours.
You’re very strong. Don’t forget that
