–sleep too much? I do. I’ve been on meds my whole life and it’s not to be desired.
It occurred to me today
What a sad life it has been.
Drugs every day and not the partying
Kind
No friends for decades on end
Not even family
Excuse me while I shed a tear
I feel it’s my right
The author of life is a sorry writer.
Sorry about your situation. It must be rough to not have anybody.
Is there maybe a mental health club you could go to? You might find some new acquaintances there.
Been there.
Give yourself a boot up the proverbial arse, and know that you are loved and worthy.
No ones gonna fight your emotional battles for you. Thats your job.
My friend just ignored me on my birthday. It was hurtful. I guess he found some other company. I’m not the fun type to hang with.
I’m sorry for your situation.
I also sleep a lot. It’s really unhealthy sleeping as much as I do. I guess the meds make me tired.
What I’m trying to say is you are not alone on this. There are lots of people out there being alone.
Can’t you do something fun? Like joining a cooking class, take guitar lessons, or ask someone if they need someone walking their dog?
Troooth. If you’re waiting for others to fix your problems for you, you’ll probably die waiting.
@Jinx Why don’t you volunteer your time serving a purpose to assist the community? Staying in bed all day makes your situation detrimental. Structure your days in the week with some sort of activity.
Sorry - I think i sounded a bit harsh there. I know its crap, but you got to develop a fighting spirit over it.
I just don’t think there’s anything I can do.
Well, you are on this Internet forum talking to us. Maybe try being a moderator? I don’t know. I know the feeling laying in bed and staring at the ceiling all day is depressing but you need to take initiative at some point.
You’re already practicing playing music quite a bit. You’re more capable than you’re giving yourself credit for. Start out small and see where it goes.
Do you need to get your meds adjusted?
You need an interest to stay out of bed. Yeah, the negatives are crap, and you cant be arsed - but you got to do a bit of self help, and force yourself.
I keep sleeping 12 hours or more and waking at ridiculous times in
the afternoon. Im staying in a lot ,
not really feeling like going anywhere
Sorry if your struggling @Jinx
If anything happens to my fella id be alone with just family at arms length
I think sleep issues are just part of SZ. I’ve tried fixing mine but it never sticks.
One little change could make such a difference. Finding some kind of support group irl or taking an adult Ed class or going to church or some other activity could change your life. But like others said, no one’s going to do it for you, you have to do it yourself. Maybe a case manager or therapist would steer you in the right direction though. Just one activity where you would be interacting with other people. You don’t seem like a bad guy, why don’t you give yourself a break and take the plunge and do something social. Even just becoming a regular at a coffee shop where the waitresses and other regulars will get to know you would be a positive step.
Yes definitely something to do with sz, it sucks
But @Jinx doesn’t have family thats unfortunately despairing not having that
Ever thought about playing on the street and putting a hat out for people to throw coins in?
You have to have a licence to be a street performer.
ok, that shouldn’t be too hard.
Sometimes it is good to moan the blues. I do it myself from time to time. Maybe you could find something that interests you. I think you can get a pretty good metal detector for around $100, or you can get a pretty good telescope for the same price. Maybe you could find some kind of hobby. Computer games might be good. They’re highly addictive, but I think they would take your mind off your pain. I’ve never had a serious computer game myself, and I will probably maintain that situation because I have a highly addictive personality.
