I find it hard to process that schizophrenia is more manageable than it used to be
But for some reason all the broken relationships with others has gone in the complete opposite direction
Don’t understand what the point of all this is
Why is it I bother?
Just feeling a bit perplexed
Did you lose some friends?
What is going on @Joker ?
Friends left long ago
Now my family do the same
Realised now it has been nearly two years since I have spoken to many of them
And that was my nans funeral
Thought we had good relations but everyone hates each other and we’ve all drifted apart
That’s really sad. My family split off into groups. Certain people talk to each other but that’s it. I wish we all got along. Family is so important
Before Covid we had big family barbecues
Even though they were few I found it important and liked seeing the people I have always known
But as you say the groups have split off and I don’t think it will ever go back to what it once was
We used to speak and see each other a lot but it’s gone
Only have one life and it’s such a shame people behave like this
@sweetpotatopie was right all that time back saying not to get involved
Things continuously evolve. People come and go. You might reconnect with family that you haven’t spoken to in years or make new friends.
It’s best to let go and move on.
I’m sorry. I know it hurts to have family members who don’t care enough, or some who don’t care at all.
But to be honest, that’s more a reflection of them, not you.
Same here why do all this I can be a nomad and survive or die in the woods !
But hey small baby steps all the time. Its the character of the meds it’s not you. So relax only way I found for me, is better being present right here right now.
For me that would be a blessing, as my family is abusive as hell. When families like that split up, it is actually better for the younger ones involved, as they can escape that narcissism and abuse.
But I get that other people have positive experiences, and it sucks when the people you feel are your family get split apart from you.
It always helps to call and feel out the air in the room, if you haven’t already. Or it might be time to find better people to have as friends to help/nurture with your own maturity, instead of focusing on long lost family ties.
This was always hellish for me. I prefer the new normal. I am currently being dragged along on a weekend with my wife and her cousin. It is ostensibly partly my birthday celebration, but everything I would enjoy has been vetoed.
Currently in a coffee shop two miles away from our rented condo winding myself and my symptoms back down. Had to excuse myself before I said something intemperate.
I see now why you got your 5th wheel 
For me, the one directly caused the other. Being cut off by my family was the best thing that ever happened to me.
As I get older, the extended family separates more and more and inaccurate judgement is passed on me as well. I also think it’s sad that we have the one life and people do this (spend on bad terms with relatives).
Yes,I had family and friends.
Now starting from scratch.
Hey @Joker
In my experience, when you get betrayed once by friends and family you never trust people in the same way. Not that you cannot have them later in life, but it’s not the same.
I rarely see any, except the immediate family. Maybe it’s harder to get together, because many of us struggle. It’s comfortable to be at home when we have health issues.
I find it hard to trust as well 
things evolve bro… eventually 2020 was a diffrent time because of covid. it was a real news when businesses was shuttingdown. even the most important businesses.
