What's it mean when you are socially disconnected for a long, long time?

I’ve had a lot of problems in life socially. I think I was schizoid growing up, then turned schizotypal as an adult. I think I’ve been condemned by paranormal forces to go through all this. One minute I can make logical sense, then the next I’m totally brain dead, next im experiencing things paranormally. I feel like a terrible human a lot. I’ve lived a life of much solitary confinement.

That sounds very difficult. I have felt some of the same ways before. There are better days ahead.

I’m schizotypal too… my tendency to isolation got better when i started taking meds, but it was difficult to find the right combination. I felt like a guinea pig for a lot of years with a lot of drugs that didn’t work.

Then i began to socialize more, i still have a solitary, dreamy lifestyle. An sudden swings to depression, emptiness and loss of energy.

Now im going to see a nurse and pdoc once or twice a month, so they can stop me if i’m doing something that’s not good for my mental health, stress, alcohol, illegal drugs, meeting a girlfriend. The last thing, is up to me, i think.

My stepdaughter’s comment-

The virus is being contained at the moment you will be one of the safest people as you don’t often go out ! X

I have very little , face to face , social interaction outside of stepfamily.
