Mostly, yes. I am aware that there are things outside of our control, but when you aren’t happy, you either have to change it, or learn to accept where you are.
It really doesnt do anyone any good to sit around blaming everyone your entire life. All it does is make you bitter and unhappy.
That’s my opinion anyway.

I am responsible for my own actions. Even though people bullied me, women talked trash about me and I was harassed. I still am responsible for my own actions. I am the reason that circumstances lead to the point that I became psychotic.
And it serves me right. I did drugs when I should have checked myself in the hospital. I was too proud and thought I was invincible.
I have wasted 15 years of my life on bull-sh-it which this illness is.
I am better today. I feel like I can look forward. I just don’t know what to do? There are things I can’t do because I’m too old now. Last time I thought about my life I was a 27 year old “kid” dreaming about the future.
I am in a point where I can grasp the future. I just don’t know what to do?
And you know, it’s ok to blame people too. People are ruthless a s s - holes out there. Fu-ck them!

Lots of things were my fault because I used to be really stupid and foolish. Some things were caused by other people.

I was born and raised with a lot of deficiencies and some assets. I’ve learned to accept and live with them, but I’m not going to blame myself for the deficiencies or take credit for the assets. It’s pointless to be bitter, though I was for decades when I was much younger. I’m still learning, at 68, to move forward and make the best of what I have been given.
Had my second visit today with my new pdoc in a new clinic and just noticed in his hospital notes he wrote:
Schizoaffective disorder, depressive type (CMS/HCC)
News to me, but no surprises.

It’s a mixed bag for me.
I was going to school to become a licensed massage therapist and then sz started creeping in or whatever, so I dropped out.
I personally don’t think I’m to blame for that at least.
I can’t complain too much about where I’m at currently.

I grew up with a stepdad who was in competition with his sons for alpha male position, rather than a benevolent man trying to raise his children up above him. It had horrible effects on all of us but myself most of all. He was INTENSELY homophobic as well. I’ve written him out of my life.
I am having a hard time taking responsibility now that I’m out, but I’m trying to make steps forward even if they are slow and unsteady. I am responsible for my escape from symptomatic SZ and my employment at the moment, which have been good things. Also I am responsible for my health which I need to take more care in.

I don’t know what I can take the blame for, I didn’t create schizophrenia inside me

I think I got psychosis due to the domino effects of the universe. It just was bound to happen. I don’t like the word blame so much, for that reason. It’s as if someone purposely decided to make me a psychosis patient which isn’t the case, ever.

To quote Paul Simon. My life is made of patterns that can scarcely be controlled.
I’m learning though to take responsibility. I am very grateful for the people in my life and where I am but sometimes my choices are self inflicted shots at myself.

After reading a couple responses on this thread…I think “take the blame” is not the right phrase I would use for myself. I was more reading it as “take responsibility”. but tomato tomaato and all that jazz.

I take partial blame, somethings were truly my fault others were issues completely out of my control.
