what role did your family have if they had a role and you want to share it? every now and then i would like to talk about positive things and maybe i am managing to fix my scooter. when I began to feel bad and felt that the world was collapsing around me I sought support from my family but I found none both because perhaps I did not know how to explain well what was happening to me and because they were unable to understand mental illness, then I seemed they are just too closed in on myself, stubborn and lazy. not getting help and not understanding what was wrong with me I understood at some point that I had become ill but I decided I wasn’t weak and I convinced myself that my problem was being weak and my point of reference was my father who is weak it didn’t seem like it at all and I didn’t understand how I could have come out like this, for these reasons I began to deny the disease and to oppose it trying to destroy my mind and I tried in vain to have a normal life from the point of view of studies and socially, but the suffering did not it went away and I didn’t understand since I also denied the disease. in addition to the defective genes, I think it was my father’s education and my mother’s behavior that triggered this disgusting disease but I can’t blame them, I used to do it but it’s been too many years now and we’re getting old.
I agree, I am in my early 50s and my dad in his 90s and my mom in her early80s
I’m almost 35, while my father and mother are around 65
I have been living with my parents my whole life
me too, even if I have a bit of autonomy because I live on the first floor with my brother while they stay on the ground floor, my biggest fear is that if I lived alone, the expenses would increase and I would not be able to go shopping with a certain freedom as I do now, I have a worker’s salary and I have to make sacrifices, even if I would sometimes like to live alone, I’m conflicted in this
Scooter? eScooter?
petrol and oil blend scooters. This: Vespa Cosa - Wikipedia
Oh, the Vespa is a lovely beast. Good on you for having one. I hope you get it fixed up and post some pics.
They were/are supportive but don’t understand SCZ nor care to research it. But that’s okay. Neurotypicals don’t understand Schizophrenics; Schizophrenics don’t understand neurotypicals. That’s my experience, anyway. I definitely enjoy living alone, so family doesn’t have to worry about me.
