Having schizophrenia/schizoaffective is such a lonely existence.
Very few people understand or fully accept this disorder.
I feel so alone in the real world.
Thank goodness for this forum.
I’m so tired of the negative feedback I’m getting from close family members.
The other day my close Aunt basically said that what I’m experiencing is all part of the human condition.
She said that I was a weak person and I should take Dr Phil’s advice.
Talking about ignorant!
Yeah I feel so alone
Aww i know how you feel there , people in general have no idea
Some people are ignorant
My therapist said I was lying on the be
D saying I’m ill
I don’t think people understand what it’s like to have the disease
@anon29983254 @shellys12
Only two people in my life understand to a degree what I go through
My psychiatrist and counselor
My therapist kind of gets it
When i say my issues and they try to correct me i know how uneducated they are.
They have not got the level of knowledge i have.
I have way more experience than them is what i conclude.
My husband understands some and family get some. Ive a new psychiatrist he is nice
That’s crap, Dr Phill? Some people don’t have a clue.
I have no idea what my family thinks and thats what scares me they havent said anything about it and its been 7 years
My family has been very supportive. I used to play games and sometimes go to the hospital just for fun. That was a nice hospital. The last hospital was disturbing with people screaming a lot. I won’t be back for mental disorder. I only went the last time because I’d run out of medicine because I’d taken it all in an overdose.
My uncle ghosted me after I was in the hospital at 19. People choose sides when they hear schizophrenia. My cousin didn’t invite me to her wedding, she said it would be all about me. It wouldn’t. I was stable and going to college.
I’m so sorry to hear your aunt treated you so badly.
Can you cut her out of your life or avoid her and see her as little as possible?
I agree with you @Wave .
Love and best wishes to you.
May you be understood , loved and appreciated just as you are.
I’m so sorry @Wave . I’m glad you are on the forum too.
Ive almost never experienced any rudeness or ghosting from family or friends because of sz. But then again almost everyone i know is somewhat insane or out of the ordinary.
I know the feeling. Idk how im gonna live another fifty years. It’s so lonely. Kills.
Other disability have lots of support and are more accepted
A psychiatrist yelled really loud at me when it was my first ward stay. Wtf dude I felt even worse. I can’t get back my years spent in wards and meds.it is lonely.
But then again i dont see friends or family at all basically anymore.
I’m sorry you’re lonely. I don’t do well alone.
No it’s not the fact. In fact if anybody don’t know about paranoia or don’t believe in hallucinations, so they don’t know. Its all. Any how you don’t able to prove it by your examples or any explanation to them. Obviously it has not any proof.
You know the other day i was speaking to a stranger cum friend, i spoke to him about sz and god when i used the tearm god there was a heavy lighting he was also a religious person but he got to know and informed me that its just relations which we make and for most its less but for me its more.
