Mental illness is so exhausting

Trial error with meds. Wards. Pdoc appointments. Sometimes I want to give up and leave my sza behind. But it will follow. How can you feel so lonely in your head?

Yeah it’s hard work for sure and you take it everywhere with you but keep fighting for that better function. It’s helped me to change a bit to find meds that suit me. It really is trial and error but it’s also good to be your own advocate. No one knows your symptoms better than yourself.

Tell me about it. Having it for 44 years has taken a lot out of me. I think I’ve always been searching for the moment when I can just relax and say,”There, I did it” and rest on my laurels, but it’s never happened, it’s a constant never ending fight. Is it worth the fight?

To be, or not to be, that is the question:

Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer

The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,

Or to take arms against a sea of troubles

And by opposing end them. To die—to sleep

I don’t really want to die, I’m just tired of the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune and my sea of troubles.

I wish I knew the answer.
Looks like is everyone own battle and in the end there’s no one to say congratulations. Here’s the prize.
Each day is a fight, some days you win some you lose.

I just feel harassed. I feel like people are trying to kill me, by saying the most stupid things, they can think of.

Yes. Mental illness sucks.

Losing sleep is one of the worst things about schizophrenia.

Hard to enjoy life, or be rational, with no sleep.
