I have this long standing belief that I despite having a stable roof over my head and possessions that I can safely say are my own, that I am going to end up on the street with nothing and no money. No amount of reassurance can stave off this belief.
I believe this delusion is caused by past trauma and rejection from my family. Do others think this is possible?
Think a lot of us here worry about that, I go to work everyday when really there are many days I should just stay home, but it’s work or be homelss, could not live here with what I would get on disability.
Thankfully the disability pension I am on covers most things, so I am lucky in that regard because I am unable to work. Still, I’m terrified of all of it being taken away from me.
Before I become unwell with sz, I owned my own home and had a well paying job I loved. I lost that due to sz and I’m afraid I could always lose where I am now (I rent these days).
I feel the same way. I’m terrified of becoming homeless. It’s It’s real possibility with schizophrenia.
