When my madness is at its extreme I feel like I’m losing Hope. Can you relate?

I can relate to it. When madness or abnormal thought process overtake it is tough to see the light. Only darkness prevails. We need to keep breathing and walking no matter how dark it is I guess.

I focus on what I can control and that is food intake, exercise, working with pdoc, retreats,…

I can relate to what @anon17326926 said first focus on what I can control, but every once in a while comes things I can not control and at that point I am loosing hope.

I was like ‘losing hope’ and suicidal before I started Wellbutrin. The right AD can help out.

Edit: I still sometimes lose hope, but not today :smiling_face:

Thanks. I do have hope. I am working with my pdoc and therapist to become convinced I can get better. I just experience moments when I feel all hope is lost and I get angry. I have a brain disease but I can function well enough to do enjoyable things. I just can’t work. I once loved working and was happier. That was an enjoyable time of my life. It lasted three years. Then I tried to live without my medicine. I went cold turkey. Another time I went off medicine in a hospital and my disease relapsed once again. Now I am on a low dose and I might not need it because I’ve gotten older but I get crazy when I don’t sleep and I need it to sleep.

I can relate somewhat. Try to get off this self destructive course. It makes your life worse.

I don’t have hope. It seems this is how it is for me - bleak.

Things aren’t getting better (maybe some days (is that hope?) or worse; Everyday is neutral and bad. Memory loss, unable to socialize without symptoms, fear anxiety and agitation. Good days are neutral, numb and blunt feeling. Unable to feel good.

I hate that I’ve no one to talk to when Im going crazy. Online I get deleted or banned. Currently hospitalized but whenever I try to talk they stop me and say it’s my schizophrenia.

You are amongst friends here. People that can understand. Do you have a therapist?

Lol.. i can laugh, because looking today in the future Ikinda got some paranoia seeing no hope.

" remember, today is the tomorrow day you were worring yesterday."
I just guess today was fine.
