It’s hard to feel happy with SZ. I mean to get there a person has to be near death as is. Health is just wiped out.
Huh???what do you mean? @naturallycured
I’m depressed all the time. I can’t be happy about anything. Maybe I should go find a turtle and have a conversation with it.
Oh I’m sorry that was a response to the other poster.
I’m sorry to roxs. It will get better for you. Just look at everything as a challenge and opportunity for growth.

Schizophrenia is not a good state of being. A person who is schizophrenic has to use every tool at his employ to stop from deteriorating mentally, otherwise his life will be shortened substantially.

I think happiness is fleeting. Most of the time I’m content but empty and dead. When I distract myself with simple pleasures i can feel happy for a little while. But it doesn’t last.
Maybe you could experiment with a less dose of medicine if you haven’t tried already? I am on 5mg zyprexa and am able to be happy to some extent(although it is bleak compared to being off meds), but I remember when I was on 20mg. I wouldn’t smile if someone told me I won the lottery.
I’d say happiness comes in flashes. There is nobody that is going to be happy all the time. A person should strive for contentment. I’m mostly content or happy. I rarely get sad or angry. If I get sad I feel it then let it pass. With anger I just generally dismiss it outright. The full spectrum of emotions are part of being human. I would say if you don’t experience emotion you’re close to being a stoic. That’s something people have been trying to be for ages.
