I think you could say that all diseases are horrible no matter what kind. Everyone has something they have to deal with in life. At least it’s not something terminal, like cancer that kills you before you can enjoy some part of your life. A long term mental illness is bad, but it could be worse.

Uh. Illness happens to everyone.
I don’t consider my genetic disease to be bad luck. Just life. Life throws stuff at people randomly.
Sz is just one of the things people get. So is cancer and other diseases.
Life itself is suffering but we just gotta get through it.

U gotta drag your ass into the gym and start exercising @Aziz
That’s what I had to do when I was 300 lbs and on risperdone.
I’m not going to lie, it was F hard. But I did it. And if I did it you can do it too. You just need to find it within yourself. It may not happen this year, or next year, but eventually something will change.

Yea I am still waiting on it to be available here.
I think it may mean you’re a unique person who may be more aware of things than other people.

Schizophrenia is not the worst thing in the world that can happen to you
Sure is a kick in the teeth, but you need to find your way out of the mess you find yourself in, and that has to come from you
Wallowing in self-pity isn’t going to improve your situation at all

If you are waiting for that “perfect time” to get out of bed and change your life, you may be waiting a long time. I’ve been there. When I get in a rut or have some problem to solve and I keep putting it off, and putting it off, until I feel better or feel like doing it. And that can cause a lot of trouble and make the problem or situation worse. I find just tackling it as soon as possible is the best route whether I feel like it or not.
My dad tried to teach me to do things as soon as they come up i.e. if the tread on my tire is worn go that same day to get a new tire installed. If I get forms from the DMV or Social Security fill them out right away etc. I never learned but I do well enough on taking care of business.
If you’re counting on some magic moment or some sign from god where you are going to get out of bed and enroll in a university and be social and everything will be normal again you could wait forever. You have to take chances and take action. No one can force you out of bed but it’s hurting your future to waste your youth just doing nothing. I’ve heard you describe your illness and I know it’s tough but if you look into the future, in the long run, staying in bed is going to hurt you more than attending some support group now.
Support groups are there for mentally ill people. It’s a given that everybody in the group is struggling in life with mental illness and everybody has that in common. They’re not going to single you out for abuse. Something like a support group would be a good first step to getting some kind of life. But recovery ain’t going to come knocking on your door, you have to go after it.
