Improving quality of life for us with sz

my sz symptoms have receded over the last 10 years and I feel much better but still… I’ve read that they study about improving our quality of life. I feel like even though I have a job, family, beautiful home with my Mom, the quality of my life is… I still gotta get a life. maybe I’m just being miserable but it’s like I am telling myself often inside my head to … get a life.

anyone understand me here? is this depression? misery? loneliness? all three?

The violating feeling that a schizo has to go through day to day is bad enough, but the adventurer is still in us.

Why not go on an adventure? Even if it’s with your mom, it’d be fun.

You are being normal, complicated by your schizophrenia.

I feel like I have to catch up with my life. Sometimes I think I’m doing pretty well… I have a flexible job I like, an apartment with my sis… a loving family willing to help me if and when I need it…

I still have a lot of help getting through my day…

I still feel like life is eluding me… I have to work hard to catch up to live… but I’m not sure what I’m catching up too. It’s like a blind panic run… to finish line I can’t see and don’t know where it is.

Sometimes I just have to let go and tell myself… I’m OK where I’m at.

I’ve also asked if it’s depression… it doesn’t feel like it… it feels like exhaustion.

I hope you feel better soon.

thank you for your kindness and understanding. I hope you feel better soon too.

you described how I feel and I am sure how others feel around here too. I wish too that I understood it better.
