At least in prison we can exercise.

Plus the food there is really terrible from what I heard. For the record, no one is forcing you to stay in the house and lie in bed all day. Only you are deciding that for yourself.

I thought about going to prison to loose weight, they control our food intake. I bet it would work.

I really don’t think it would be a great idea. You would have to worry about staying alive. You need to find something that will motivate you to do what you need to be healthy. You have had so much encouragement here, that you know what you need to do. Only you can decide for yourself how to get your life going in a good direction.
You can come up with a thousand reasons for not changing your lifestyle, but you at some point need to do it. I am not judging you. I went through what you are experiencing and it’s hard work trying not to suffocate from stress and mental illness.

Sometimes I wish I had HIV to be done with this sz life. I have already tried to get HIV but failed.
Now I don’t have sexual desire towards ppl anymore.

Actually I was in jail with no exercise because I was in the solitary cell 24/7. And I had schizophrenia. And they wouldn’t give me my medication no matter how many times I asked. I think the better statement is “schizophrenia can easily lead to prison.” That’s why it’s important to take your meds.
I’d rather be schizophrenic and free than neurotypical and locked up. Solitary confinement for months on end is torture.

Really? Even if they knew you had sz?

Yeah, they don’t listen to anything you say in there. It’s just noise to them. At the end of my stay they transferred me to a hospital for a month before my trial and it was at that hospital they finally gave me my meds again, which made me sane enough to sign the papers to get out.

I guess having both, sz and prison, is the worst.

Jail really does suck though. The system is so messed up. I still worry that my arrest history is gonna screw me some time in the future. I don’t want to have to explain it each time 
Breakfasts were great though. I learned to love hard boiled eggs on the inside.

Even worse conditions there. Consider you are blind or have no hands or legs, will you live happily than having schizo?

Well according to WHO schizophrenia is more disabling than no legs. Complete paralysis is more disabling than sz though.
I’d rather have no legs than Schizophrenia.

You can exercise, you’re just not exercising.

The reason why they live happily though they not have legs or other organs is they devised coping strategies to face the situation just like therapy for mental diseases. If do therapy along with medications schizo people too can function and we can see lots of schizo people still functioning, doing job and other things like normal persons.
