Like I have said before, I wish we all had a big club we could all belong to, and group together and share what we need to share, and thus not feel alone.

Well this is a support and recovery based forum. I mean the literal point of this forum is to talk about mental illness, particularly schizophrenia… Hence the name. Most people dealing with psychotic disorders and mental health in general arent in a place to see the few positive aspects.
If you want more positive posts why not try posting positive things? I dont say that to condescend, I’m being genuine.
If it is stressing you out why not take a break?

I like to post my poems, songs, and spoken word in the creative section and interact with the positive posts.
Though I run the risk of having my content stolen I Hope it never happens.
You can always ignore and pay no mind to the stuff you don’t like

I love this place. It’s where I get most of my social interactions. Without it I would be very lonely.

I get a rise out of helping people here. Makes me feel a little bit more esteem each time.

You sir, are just wrong on your pretense. There is much positivity here, you’re just looking at it wrong.
Try to see all the good we do to help one another here.
This place is important to a lot of people, we try to turn negativity to positivity.

Yes, but it is the truth of some peoples lives. It can get to me too but it is the people behind the suffering that means something to me.
When you see the same people sharing for 8 years about their lives I don’t judge their suffering because not only have I been there myself before for many years but I know their ups and downs and details of their lives and some of what they’ve been through and there’s a human behind the screen.
I’ll make the point that I’ve heard so many people say that they have been on other schizophrenic forums or other mental illness forums but this is the best, most supportive online forum for schizophrenics.
I’m not saying the negativity doesn’t get to me sometimes because it does, but the good on this site far outweighs the bad. I mean how can you get mad at someone for suffering when it’s not their fault? When someone is suffering it’s extremely difficult for them to be positive. For better or worse, some people get negative because a lot of major things are negative in their lives and their symptoms are out of control.
But people who are delusional, suicidal and psychotic still try to help others on here. And people who are doing better and accomplishing certain good things in their lives share what works for them.
Negative stuff is a reality. I’m not saying I like the negativity but I can relate to it. It gets out of hand sometimes but that’s life. I don’t know what to do about negativity here, I actually don’t know if anything needs to be done about it. I can see why you may be burned out about the negativity but you should be grateful @Gtx1990 that you are doing relatively better than a lot of other people. Just keep in mind the old saying, “There, but for the grace of God, go I.”
I assume literally every schizophrenic on here has suffered with this disease including you Gtx. I don’t know if you have ever been hospitalized but if you were on this site when you were suffering the most or in a psyche ward, how positive would you have been? I’m not trying to encourage negativity I’m just trying to put things out there to think about and I’m not trying to tell you how to feel or change your mind about what you think but I’m just listing some facts. You are being honest about how you feel and many people would agree with you.
But schizophrenia is not a happy experience and people need a forum like this to share how they feel about schizophrenia and their lives and they need a place to vent and be themselves and talk openly about their lives without the judgement of so-called “normies.”

And is it wrong to ask for help? No.
We are human. Pain is inevitable for all. And when it comes, we are here to support each other.
This forum is just for that.

In the time you took to complain about this place you could have written a message uplifting someone who feels depressed. It’s seriously that easy. 
Hi Gtx1990 I know exactly what you mean, I have never touch social media prior to this year via finding out that I am a genuine TI and this best explains my experiences of Schizophrenia.
Within the course of the last 12 months I have watched the culture mimic in a way what some of us hear in our heads. Your experinces upon being mobbed up upon sites like this is very common experiences so please educate yourself on tactics like bait and switch, mobbing, gaslighting and spreading ridicule upon a sigled out individual. I thought that self help forums would not abuse people who are suffering in isolation, but there you go.
