I find myself alone even in groups sometimes. I can delve deep into conversations and relate quite a bit, but don’t feel connection. Can’t watch a movie unless I can talk/cut up during it. Otherwise, I get bored and have to walk. I have to walk. Like walking my thoughts. Could spend hours doing so if not for a bad knee.
I don’t have schizophrenia but I do have bad knees which I have found can be improved by doing squats or better one legged “Bulgarian” squats, or climbing stairs three stairs at a time. It seems maybe that my knee pain is due to incorrect knee movements due to weak knee muscles - the smaller muscles that keep my knees straight and pistol like.
@MadMatt oh sweetheart… we all miss the good parts of them. Why do you think so many szs stop medicating? They want that good back but it comes at a price.
You never know when the bad ones are going to sneak in and pull mental tricks on you. Smile. I know you miss them but I look at it this way. I can’t feel or hear them but they are there waiting for the days when I forget to take meds. They wait for the moment I meditate looking for those comforting sensations I once knew so well. It may be a delusion but it is a loving one. Who wouldn’t miss that?
