And you’ve established a prognosis and degree of illness over the internet without ever meeting the person. Well done dr.

I’m stuck in the middle as far as my functioning goes.
I can’t work and have a difficult time socializing in person.

I’ve been going through a rough patch lately the past couple of weeks. Had to raise my Abilify to 30 mg. Stress and bad news just kept coming at me. Now I’m spending 22 hours per day in bed due to heavy negative symptoms.

I might be milder symptoms wise than quite a few here, but I still have difficulty socialising and have never worked. The cognitive symptoms and things like difficulty showing initiative would be a hindrance occupationally.

that is a bit selfish to assume that everyone on here but you isn’t suffering.
@Erez_Shmerling Did you ever think that maybe some of us have been extremely low functioning and on the streets? Maybe some of us have worked very hard, over a long period of time, with doctors to get to a place in our lives that we are able to function on the level we are at. Do you know how many medications each person has tried to find one that works?

me personnaly I am a bit fed up of everyone thinking that they are better than me in their genes… even my mom says that she is healthy cause ive herited the bad genes from my father…
me too I am really low functioning, living almost like an hermite and this, since 20 years. you can imagine yes.
me too I can write and I still dont think that I have great genes, maybe I should start thinking it in order to have more confidence wow… @Erez_Shmerling, your post is strange… but now I hate myself a lot too for being so low functioning… maybe you have better parents. my mother is showing her really carefull about me but in the same time she wants from me too much still…
I have album of such jeans from Google Images

Hey let the truth be known 
What does the mentally ill know about the truth are you a law school student?? You could be if you really wanted it. All I’m saying is I don’t even know his medication regimen how in the heck can you judge the guy he just wants to get some rest ya know?
Good lord. You are too much. No use speaking to you.
Peace.
I am aware that there are people worse off than me. I feel for them. However this does not help me in the slightest. Thinking of other people who suffer more than me does not lessen my subjective experience. Yes, I can read, type and speak clearly. That doesn’t mean my life is not utter hell much of the time. The way I feel right now I could easily put my fist through the door or go round and punch my neighbours because I can hear them talking about me through the walls, or do horrible things to myself. At times like this I fantasise endlessly about violent acts on myself and others, and right now being told that my illness is mild and I should be grateful is like saying hey, you may have lost both arms and one leg but you should be thankful you can still hop. I am biting my tongue here not to be a lot more vitriolic. A big part of me wants to.

Belittling peoples subjective experience by telling them there are others worse off is the OPPOSITE of empathy.
