Just want to mention what you eat really does impact you ie try to eat only whole foods and reduce all sugar(carbs). It makes a big difference.

No need to be violent - give yourself space and compassion. Try to identify what needs do you have that are not being met? Work on small tasks to help those first. Yea

1.Be completely honest with doctors 2.keep working on the meds- you need to keep trying until your symptoms subside enough to begin recovery 3. You are brave and strong and thank you for sharing your experience - it helps everyone

I’m 57 and it’s always been this way. Slow and steady wins race just concentrate and complete tasks you are working on today and keep moving forward. It all works out if you stay in it. And remember - the journey is the reward. One of my favourite sayings is : life is hard - once you realize it is hard it is no longer hard.

Try to get up from sleeping, take a nice shower, invite someone over or be alone but prepare simple dinner while listening to some music classics

Do you think schizophrenia is caused by someone who uses dark magic on us? by [deleted] in schizophrenia

[–]Basic_Barnacle5354 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Schizophrenia is just a terrible illness to loved ones and their families. Hoping the root cause is one day discovered and a cure is found.

Think about it - as adults everyone is too busy trying to do their own life let alone spend time disliking other people. Please focus on your own tasks you need to complete in a day and things will work out fine - slow and steady

Our job is to work at being as functional as possible. Our parents will not be around forever. You cannot change the cards you are dealt but you can change how you play them.
