No one cares anymore because of who I am

Good morning!

I’m in a depressive episode- please bear with me.

I feel like no one cares about me because I have psychosis. No one in this world (no matter where I go) will care about me because of my psychosis. No one in this world will care. Everyone thinks you’re after them, and that you are dangerous human being. Stigma sucks.

Psychosis demoralizes my soul. It demoralizes your identity. It doesn’t let you live.

My depression makes me feel like I’m all alone and I’m left abandoned and no one will like me. Solely based on my psychosis, I feel like I have no worth.

Does anyone feel the same?

Hello @anon10648258

I can definitely relate.

People tend to think we’re just weak or lazy. There’s a lot of stigma.

I think a key is to have a thick skin. Easier said than done!!

Understanding that everyone mostly cares about themselves they’re just not gonna give you too much sympathy sometimes.

However I am here for you rn :blush:. Everyone here cares for u just about. And sorry it’s tough right now but hang in there. This too shall pass. I know you’re very proactive in your recovery so I’m not gonna give too many suggestions for What to do. But just know I feel the same way, but no longer does it bother me as much??

I am alive. I used to be so insecure about almost everything I realize now and now I have a thick skin. When individuals get older they have more tools in their toolbox many times.

I know you have a lot of pain but you’re not alone and people do care. They just may be hard for u to find in person right now.

Take care of yourself @anon10648258 !

Me too :raising_hand_man:

Even when improving I feel like it’s never good enough…

People often like in a person what this person can bring to them. So people like each other when they are useful. It’s not love and care. Maybe one should be ready to stay alone as soon as possible rather than running behind people looking for something in return.

BUT here we know what is being too weak for bringing something to others, so maybe here we care somehow.

I think there are people who care about you in your life, but they just aren’t good at showing it. Plus, we on the site care about you a lot.

People told my husband when we separated that I should never have custody of my children because of my mental illness. The discrimination and negative opinions of others can affect me but I didn’t let it stop me. I am trying to bust the stigma by being a good mom. I also try to surround myself by people who are supportive. I hope that you find a support system like on this website and that you prove the naysayers wrong. Keep up the fight @anon10648258!

Not everyone feels like that about people with psychosis. I’ve got friends who are not scared of me even though I’ve bitten a police woman.

I don’t think anyone who knows you more than that one statement “she bit a police officer” would be fearful of you you’re so nice!!

Nobody cares for you except your very close family. At least in my case.

People are jerks. They dont know how bad the mind can get. I believe only God can help mostly, in my case, in my current mental state. I dont know if ill ever be better though, after all ive been through. Not being able to think and make more rational decisions.

Only my parents love me, all others hate me, really I can feel it especially when they ignore me during a visit or when they keep expecting me to work, live independently and have a family, wife and children. Its traumatizing.

99.9999999% of the population on earth don’t even know you or I exists.
The rest don’t care. And people n the world may not care about you but there’s plenty of people you don’t care about. You just got to get used to it. Most people are anonymous, there’s plenty of people who feel unimportant. You just gotta keep trying and keep going to find a little something for yourself and get a little something out of life. Just because someone appears happier than us doesn’t mean they’re more important. Many of us feel the same way you do at times. Lots of people feel unimportant and insignificant. But it’s a big world and we still carve a little place for ourselves in the world. You will probably never have a completely normal life but it’s rare for a person not to have someone, sometime who likes them. That person who likes you exists and is out there somewhere. Good luck.

When I got psychosis, I had a lot of friends. I would say about 20% of them didn’t have the time for me. People not liking you for not doing anything wrong, is the easiest way to cut toxic people out of your life. It is like the rubbish taking out the trash.
