Is this living

I get envious of employed people with their house’s and cars, going about with their friends and family.
It appears simply living a life, while I just exist.
I might even be homeless in the future living in the street.
I’m always trying to advance in life, while I never get there.
Do you often feel your caught not progressing. I understand this everyday every hour.
It’s so hard to know myself and be content,
All my joy is gone

I don’t have a destination,
so i never get lost.
No need for progress.
Contentment is good.

How do you do that,
Do you awake saying what a wonderful day too be alive, as like a stoic.
What method could you advise me

I don’t really know much about you and your illness so it’s hard to advise

In reality the only thing that has kept me alive is my delusions for without the mystery about things I’d be dead

I would be homeless or in prison if I lived in the USA, So I count my blessings.

Have you sent down goals for how you would like to be successful? Do you have small, short-term goals that you can achieve first? (e.g. being able to keep on top of housework.) Do you have a system for tracking your progress with goals?

The last six years of my life feel like I’ve been beating my head against a wall trying to improve things.

Yeah bro
Every morning I have to resettle myself and start from the beginning.
It’s like I never awake in clear reality.
This has been happening for many years for me too.
It’s like nothing we do can help
We seek to help ourselves daily but the next morning fallen back

I am sorry your going through this. Sometimes I treat myself to simple things like rewards. Maybe a latte or doing my favorite thing in the day. Even hugging a loved one is rewarding :heart:.
