Mine is what I lost. Was doing pre med, looking after my son,had good friends, a car , a home and nice possessions not to mention my respect from everyone around me. Its all gone because of being so ‘unwell’.

Sometimes some have even doubted I actually have schizophrenia…well schizo-affective to be honest but it still has symptoms of schizophrenia. It just borderlines with severe depression for me.

yeah, I lost a lot too. the worst thing about my paranoid sz is being too paranoid to communicate with my own family or enjoy time with my brother as much as I would in my pre-sz days

Mine is the suffering that comes with symptoms.
I have lost a lot but generally don’t feel too sad about that, when I have a flare up it’s like a living hell so that is the worst bit for me.

Alogia: barely being able to talk
Amotivation: everything i do implies suffering
Blunted affect: i barely have emotions, i cannot cry, although i’d really want to
Anhedonia: nothing brings me pleasure, i have no desires, no interest. ( I have to pretend to enjoy watching tv otherwise I do nothing and my parents do not accept that I do nothing)
The psychiatrist and my parents think I should use my willpower to feel better… They don’t understand how bad my problem is… I think about suicide a lot

I too am chronically suicidal because of the distress of positive symptoms and cognitive ones especially some negative.

I have taken my wife’s husband away. That is the worst. It is worse than the depression and occasional fear that I feel, or the inability to do the things I used to. She doesn’t blame me, but I do. Some days I come home and I just cry to her and tell her I’m sorry.

Intense periods of paranoia, self doubt, and unexplainable fear.
Also just generally being very anxious around people and not feeling like I quiet fit in anywhere or that people like me.
Living at home, not working, wishing I had the life that you would expect a 26 year old to have. Lack of social life and loneliness.
