Schizophrenia is a lonely illness!

My mom I talk to all the time if she wasn’t around I’d freak out though!

I’ve turned people down too ! I don’t want more than two or three friends! I have real friends I talk to everyday and hang out with!

I feel like they are more advanced in life than me now bcz sz stopped me from advancing in life. Idk if one day it will be possible to catch them.

I don’t trust people that have 300 friends! I would think they are using people ! I would never use people and I am always authentic.

I dont feel lonely much. I have always been a loner/esp as a young child. I was leader of the crowd and before the pandemic I had people with me non-stop. Now I keep my circle more small.

I find it more fun and lively when I have my episodes. It only feels lonely when I land from one of my trips. Staying sane is so bland,
the world is so much more colorful when I delude myself.

How are you making out with that @Moon ?

Schizophrenia is a lonely illness indeed. For the past 15+ years, I have never been able to form an intimate relationship with a woman because of fear about the disclosure of my schizophrenia.

Maybe a good call with all you’re dealing with. Hope you can get some rest

I think the disease and all of my negative symptoms, especially my paranoia has made me suspect my friends and children of being in on some secret whatever—now that I’m on some new meds, I know that no one is recording me, however, for years I felt that way and isolated from most all of my friends. My significant other has stuck with me and understands what I’m going through.

you never respond, but yeah it’s lonely.
