"You have got to push yourself" Advices

I am getting pissed off with this “friend” over with SMS texting.

She keeps insisting basically that I don’t do better because I don’t want to or don’t wish to. She keeps throwing some cliche lines like “You gotta go for it”… so I get out of my situation - isolated and anxious and a bunch of other symptoms and predicaments.

I don’t know if I should end this “friendly relationship” or not? It leaves me in a bunch. If I do it I lose another “friend” if I don’t it keeps adding to the fuel of helping the helpless with aggressive talk.

got shovel well pitch…

what? 15characters

you think that shes got you in mind? or are you one to over look what a relationship is?

it’s not a love relationship. I just think she wants to help me somehow but she’s being too agressive.

my friend gals like to see grunt stuff and being manly

Yes - that sounds like it. She wants to help - but she doesn’t understand what she’s doing so its not helpful.

I think its fine for you to communicate that. You appreciate her good will - but its just not that easy, and she’s actually being unhelpful with the SMSs.

Tell her to look up “negative symptoms” (if you’ve told her that you have schizophrenia).

Or just tell her you’re having a tough time and need empathy.

Thanks. Human Interaction with advices leaves me at my feet. Specially when the other side speaks like is speaking to a common person without symptoms.

Find a witty comeback.

Don’t sweat it.

You should keep the friend.

I’d tell her, she has to suffer from schizophrenia, which she probably is too cowardly to do LOLOLOL.

I have a theory that some people know how to get paranoid schizophrenia but are COWARDS…they would like to sit back and look at people with schizophrenia and philosophise about them while being COWARDLY about livng the life of schizophrenics lol. Punk-*sses.

@EnoOtu LOL That made me laugh my ass off

My mom used to do that to me all the time. It really aggravated me, but I just explained every time that isn’t as simple as willpower because there is actually something wrong with my brain. After a while, she stopped, and now she can actually have helpful conversations with me about my symptoms. It just took a lot of patience and education.

The same can be said for people who have suffered strokes, except that those who don’t push themselves generally don’t recover to the same extent as those that did work hard towards recovery. Doesn’t matter what your health condition is, you’re not going to improve much if you’ve decided that trying to will only make you sicker.

It’s just time,people will improve with time.Of course you had to put in effort in recovering from schizophrenia.Just like people had to work hard to earn money,I think it’s the same thing

Step back, see if she goes away, see if you miss it, DECIDE.

She may be aggressive one. They always like to talk about themselves. Listen to it, ask about it later and just keep your statement really brief…Are you sure you want to keep her as a ‘chance’?

You can go out to bar, classes, church, causes, and try to find some chatty ones.

Let her know you are trying and need a bit of time, it wouldn’t hurt to ask her what is a little thing you may do for the week or month then attempt to do it. Remind yourself that when someone takes the time to try to encourage you, it is because they care about you as a friend or as family at least.
