Some errors here. The first option is Family.
I say education but I have also neglected friends and family
Social life I think
I said social skills but then how can you do something about something you’re not told is a problem until years later and no one can give you a concise definition of what it means.

Thanks a lot! I wasn’t able to do it my own.
Physical health. I eat crap most of the time, don’t exercise, barely ever shower/brush teeth/change clothes.
I have neglected connecting with nature.
Come to think of it, I have neglected all of the above.
I’ve only neglected mental health in the way that “I didn’t know what I was doing”. I abused my brain thinking I was sharpening it for “optimal usage”. Instead I think I was mostly draining myself for no very good reason. If I rest from strainful thought 40% of the time, I realize the other 60 will be twice as productive than if I had only rested 10%.
Family have been neglected some, but honestly for the most part, I feel like the neglected one lol. I suppose for what I can’t understand, they have lost me in a way.
The top would be social skills(which I checked). I have none. It took me 5 minutes to type this, because I keep looking back over the words to make sure I didn’t say something stupid or offensive. I’m learning to let go though. I might not be perfect, but it doesn’t help anyone for me to be slow and fearful.

When I was first hospitalized and put on antipsychotics I spent a lot of time laying in bed, inactive. After I was discharged I did the same thing for a long time. That combined with my emotional binge eating led to me gaining 150 pounds. I just didn’t want to leave the house and look what happened… I developed sleep apnea, and have a hard time getting up steps. I’m fairly active now, during the school year I’m up and down stairs in my building, and at my job I move around some. Also, I got a gym membership with my mom and we go together (not as often as I should but better than not at all). I’ll admit, I still spend a lot of time in bed on my laptop, but I’m dieting exercising, and just generally trying to be a better person. I even got a keratin hair treatment to soften my hair. I figure if I look good on the outside, I’ll work to make the inside better too.

Very hard to pick just one.

Mostly just physical health. For the longest time I was having issues with making my own food, eating properly, hygiene, etc.
When I was at my worst… I would have to pick… all of the above. I neglected everything when I was in my darkest mindset ever.
Lately… I’d say… environment and marriage is the lowest on the list right now. I’m not married and environment is what it is.
For me it has been relationships- I only started really dating people about a year ago. I am only 21 so that’s not that bad. I just had a guy who I really like over for the weekend, he just left actually. I really like him and he likes me. He lives three hours away so thats the only issue.
I was in denial of my sexuality for a long time. I had “gay tendencies” according to my friends and well yeah now I’ve had sex with more men than women (actually only one girl and three guys) and I like men more but still like women, so I am bisexual.
But this guy and I like each other and we hope it will work out. Distance is an issue but we skype which is pretty good. You just cant reach out and touch the other person in skype. lol
But yeah, socializing without being drunk and dating were neglected while I did well in school and stayed in shape when I was psychotic. I have really been working on it and I am doing pretty well. The alcohol thing has been gone for over a year, I have been drunk just a couple times since June of 2013. I got seriously drunk in February of this year and had a terrible hangover and regretted it. I got pretty buzzed one night in this summer after I got kicked off a competitive powerlifting team and was having dissatisfaction with who I was dating. I had like four shots and woke up early and anxious the next morning and poured half a handle of Jack down the drain. My mom said she was proud of me, my friends were mad that I wasted expensive liquor but glad that I didnt pick up the whole drunk thing again…
I never neglected school or physical health. I made A’s and Bs while psychotic and exercised excessively. Now I only workout three days a week very intensely but I keep it moderate and productive and to the point. I am doing german volume training and am steadily putting on more muscle. I have a small frame, I am 5ft 7in and without lifting weights I am skinny, like 120lbs. I am 180lbs today. Like this guy I have started dating, he is about my height and exercises, is fit, but doesnt lift weights, and he is like 120lbs. I think I have a napoleonic complex.
I decided a long time ago it was pointless for me to try to interact socially. I wasn’t spreading any happiness.
