Some people - friends, family, support groups, etc.
Free time - coffee time, movie time, music, meditation, sleepy time
Healthy body and mind- walks or hikes and meds and supplements
Selfless acts - some helping people out or occasional volunteering, working on being less selfish
Some kind of work - doing classes, looking for work currently
Feeling like I’m back on the road of life, walking somewhere, and not permanently stuck with no way out.

I think I am as happy has can be.
For me to be happier, I would need to get rid of sz, it’s what’s holding me back. Demotivation, inability to make quick desicions, etc.
… I guess I would also need to get rid of my pcos so I could get rid of all that extra weight without having to put in 300x the effort normal people put in.

to be my primal motivated self again. To be able to put situations together in my mind and understand what would it be at least from what I know. To hear others, their ways to cope, besides meds. I’m working on all this now.

I’m not sure. I’ve been frustrated lately. I think I just want to be able to hold a conversation. Maybe form a real connection.

I’m doing well enough that I know I’m happier in many ways then I’ve ever been. I don’t mind being schizophrenic because I’ve learned to deal with it better and it’s part of who I am. In a lot of ways it’s been a blessing in disguise.
If I would have just gone on the way I was going before the ilness, I could have died from the drugs and alcohol or ended up in some kind of legal problems. Or in a dead-end job. And so forth.
I know one friend that hates his job, works his ass off, doesn’t have any time for himself, and just spends his alone time drinking and watching TV. He doesn’t have a mental illness, but he’s very unhappy. He was cheerful and optimistic for years, but the daily grind just wore him down.
Everyone has their own problems and there are many people who are very unhappy. I think the only option is to do the best you can and do whatever you can to make your life better. And never give up.
