Hope you can have fun too sometimesā¦
This illness ruined my life and now i am depressed and taking injections. I am surrounded with miserable people and i have not had fun in such a long time that it is pathetic.
I have fun by drinking alcohol, talking about dumb stuff with friends and my illness. Smoking and shopping, driving with music.
I have been crying so much that it is pathetic.
I have bad news: too much booze and cigarettes are bad for you in the long run. 
so try to replace them with something else if you can.
Also, youāll feel better once the med change is over, so hang in there.

I feel for you @sleepybug. Iām in a similar spot right now. Blaming the illness for everything wrong with me. Iām surrounded by miserable people too and I havenāt smiled since I started the Latuda back in early November. Iām crying less since we upped the dose of Latuda but am now more flat. Its hard to resist the temptation to drink.
Latuda suckā¦ I am switching to AbiliFy. I had such a rough time on Latuda.
I have very good expectations and hopes thoughā¦ so just waiting on it.
a guy I like said I hope you have fun sometimes. I am not sure what is fun to him?! having sex or mocking other people?!
Maybe he was only trying to manipulate me too so I donāt trust him/
who knows?!
My only worry right now is just stop talking to myself and just have a better focusā¦ this year was horrible. I started losing weight thoughā¦ so in a couple month I will be like my old self.
I think youāre in that age range where marriage and baby come to mindā¦
But donāt let it mess with you. Thereās lots of time for that. I was 38 when i had my kidsā¦wife was 34.

Better not go with marriage and a baby until you are stable enough.
My cousin is 34 and she doesnāt even have a bf. Needles to say that everyone in family āfeels for herā while she looks great, has a job and travels the Europe. She doesnāt seem miserable at all.

Why arenāt you having fun too? The illness doesnāt define you itās just a part of who you are. Itās also manageable. There is no cure but recovery is possible. Itās like a consumers nightmare of how much hope, help and support there is out there for you.
