For an individualistic society, individuals are not treated with much respect - especially where there is differences, whether the colour of your skin or a disability
Those of us that missed out on a nurturing introduction at school will understand I am sure
Sorry for using the individualistic word. Must give Americans a headache having to pronounce that many syllables at once.
People are self involved and the modern western world is all about it. I’m not sure what your trying to say but aren’t you exhibiting just these concepts?
Am I not treating others with respect?
I think that is not true, we all care, it’s just how you shout into the Forrest how it’s echoes back.
I think your your own worse critic. You seem on a path for self destruction no matter what anyone says or does which is frustrating because you are better than that.
Definitely a critic of myself. It is an unhealthy way to be driven, but it kept me going for this long. How sustainable not sure…
My path of self-destruction is largely over now. I am on 1.2gram of Amisulpride now, and it will take a few days to start to effect according to the professionals.
I am signed off work until 2022 now to give it a chance to work out.
Mate. Sometimes you just can’t do it alone. You’ve given it a good tilt but it seemed to me you have been too confrontational and expecting more out of a broken system than there is. I’m not saying it’s right or wrong I’m just worried you have been freezing yourself out of any help if you really do need it.
For most folk around here you’ve got a lot going on with work etc. Most don’t have the luxury but that is a feather in your cap. You need to work with that. Build from it and sort out all this medication problems so your doing the other stuff. That is just from me looking in. You honestly can tell me to go get stuffed and it’s no of my business and I’d respect that.
Just want you to realise some of that great potential you have.
Sorry @rogueone - I did do a poll yesterday, and everyone voted for me to stay here and there was 1 abstention
I would never say that because I respect you as a person. You’re insightful, and honest
The problem is what @Pikasaur said yesterday I think. ‘Emotional Dysregulation’
Looked it up and I think it may be part of the problem
My potential has been scuppered so many times, and having to start from scratch each time is very draining, and I am not sure how much will I have left to fight
I feel weaker than I used to be in my teens and 20’s
Yeah it gets way harder as you age but first things first. Give yourself some treats or positive thoughts for a job well done. Like yourself and respect yourself. Your a good person and worthy of good things.
Mental illness and sz makes you think and question your basic values but we are all worthy of living a good life. It’s not easy. Dont’ get me wrong but tomorrow wake up with a simple plan. I will do one nice thing for myself everyday. If that is a coffee and an affirmation that you did a good days work yesterday then that is enough.
One step at a time. Your not the only one who deals with these issues but we will support you 100%.
Thanks @rogueone I will try and do that.
First though I think I need to work on what I expect from the system and other people.
My standards and expectations are not real
Great Down to Earth Advice @rogueone .
As an American I don’t mind 
and thanks for teaching me scuppered, heh - new. How fun. Here is a new word for you (maybe?) hella - it’s specific to the Bay Area, California and it means a lot or very. She was hella pretty. I am hella full from dinner. Ok that’s all I got …
Cheers Joker, it’s nice getting to know your name on here
When I used to hang around with Skaters in my teens they used to say hella lame and stuff like that. I never did though.
Scuppered is a cool word!
