hi all
its so strong my jealousy per moments that its hellish… the meds are not a big help on this. i need to work on myself for it. but its tough. i am jealous cause i never found somebody who was so ill for so long… i know that i am annoying to say those kind of things, i am not the only sufferer on the forum but i am tired of my anger and my depression…
were you jealous too when you were at your worse? how did you get out of this?
kisses to all

chew, i know that you suffer too. there are 2 kinds of schizophrenics- the social ones and those who close themselves. ive suffered a lot from my loneliness… i was alogical for years… i was too passive for years too. and i am mostly jealous of my other ill friends who are doing better.
yeap, maybe the only solution is not to compare to others… but i went deep, sometimes i cant control myself and the anger consumes me too much… its really bad, really painfull.
i get jealous of people that take more of my partner’s time. she says i have no reason to be jealous. i can’t help it, we don’t spend much time together specially before and after work.
What does annA want that the other people have?
Maybe you could find ways to get more of what you need in that regard?
I have never been the jealous type, things are what they are and if someone is doing better than me, I like to know how they did it so I can learn and maybe try it myself. I’m not sociable at all in the real world, alone 99% of the time. Online I seem to do ok, but probably not healthy
I’ve often envied guys who seemed a lot more successful than me, and who were also having more fun than me. It can be a very strong feeling. Somewhere I heard jealousy called “the green eyed monster”. In AA they call it “judging your insides by other people’s outsides”. Now that I am older I am seeing how their lives weren’t so great, and how my life has rewards I haven’t thought about before.
I used to be so jealous of my old childhood friend because her parents were (still are!) married and they had a nice home and enough money to not worry about being evicted that I actually started stealing some money from her piggy bank. I can keep my jealousy in check now, I tell myself things that I am thankful for and remind myself that I have things other would be very jealous about.
True, some people go through what seems to be great time, fast forward a few years and it falls apart on them, some own nice stuff, but it ages and they loose their job and it been for not. Grass may be greener on their side for awhile, but not always
