Ups and Downs - upset

I was really Up for the last few days. Yes I was. Unfortunately it hasn’t last for a long.

I think, I have lost All Faith in Love. I feel like I’m doomed to be alone forever because I’ve never had a proper boyfriend.

I don’t think anyone would ever want to hang out with a schizophrenic girl.

My apology if this is an inappropriate topic on this forum.

I think you’d be surprised. Many folk with sz are in relationships. Sorry you’re upset.

That is true. Well I mean I can’t find a person who would love to hang out with me… I was trying, I was doing my best but it seems like all my efforts were hopeless

Hey, you felt good for a few days. That is an accomplishment! Now, you’re feeling down again, but it won’t be that long until you swing back around and feel good. This isn’t how recovery starts. You don’t feel better all at once. You slowly have periods of feeling a little better, and eventually, those periods last longer and longer until you spend most of your time feeling good.

Maybe a relationship isn’t feasible for you at this current moment, but that doesn’t mean you’ll never find someone. Tons of people on here have found love. I just got married recently. Some folks have been with their partners for over twenty years! I wasn’t able to find someone until I was further along my path to recovery, though. I had an awful lot of healing to do before my life was something I felt comfortable sharing with another person. You can still have everything you want. It will just take time. You’re already starting to improve, and you will continue to do so.

Oh sorry, get what you mean now. Yeah I don’t have many (any) friends.

Before I got sick I wasn’t in a relationship either and now when I actually got sick - a severe mental illness it’s basically pointless for me to find someone

Sometimes people shy away from neediness. They’re attracted by independence. It’s a fine line between independence and aloofness. People leave aloofness alone.

I wish I could find someone, I’m actually desperate

My best friends (the same age as me) got married recently and I’m still single. She has graduated from college and I’m still on my first year…

I’m too pessimistic I guess, ain’t I

@mongolina you shouldn’t compare yourself to others.
Every single person has a unique path and it is wrong to look at specific other people for life choices.
Each person has his own life.
You shouldn’t do things just because your acquaintances do them, but you should do what suits you best
and at your own pace.
I could achieve a lot if I were healthy, but I don’t sit and cry about it all day,
instead trying to improve bit by bit from a very low starting point.
And I believe you should act so as well.

I guess you have a point. However, it’s easy to say, hard to do

I’m not crying I’m just being realistic.

You can’t compare yourself to other people. Your friend hasn’t lived the same life as you, so obviously she will do some things differently.

There are merits to staying single while you get your illness under control. A relationship takes a lot of work, and your focus right now should be on getting stable. The stresses of dating could seriously do some damage right now.

Guess you are right… I need to get better now. I need to recover now

I’m just feeling alone, so I thought… But yes it’s not for me at the moment.

I hope the right time comes very soon!
