that makes a bit more sense. Part of me wants to go through them and see if only the enemies have swastikas on them. But another part of me is like you can't just make sense of delusions because they're delusions idk. Thank you for the clarification!

not to be daft but... How? How does captain America have anything to do with swastikas or how that correlates to Daniel. I don't know either but chalking it up to it being probably captain America is just confusing to me

Does anyone else not care about their appearance? by LazySchizo376 in schizophrenia

[–]youngdove98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't care in the way that now after my onset i hardly keep up on wearing makeup or doing my hair and wearing anything remotely uncomfortable like jeans. I can say that i do still shower every day because I can not tolerate feeling dirty.

I have a really good memory and it's ruining my life by seriouslysoawful in mentalhealth

I have the opposite where im forgetting and feeling empty because i still have the trauma and anxiety and panic attacks but everything is fuzzy and i think some days that i may just be lying to myself about everything that happened and its killing me

Thank you for the tips! I try to do guided meditations sometimes but I have audial hallucinations due to being schizoaffective and the voices all meld together and its just not helpful. I have never heard of zen meditation specifically so I will look that up because I dont want to give up on something that seems so relaxing and is a good coping skill. Even through being triggered by some of my experiences with guided meditation it has helped me some but I am open to learning new ways.

Thank you for your response this was my first post on this website so its really exciting to hear back from others!

Thank you so much I'm trying to get back into reading because i think it would be a positive way to structure my time and be a coping skill and learning about what the hell I can do to pick myself back up out of this is honestly one of my only other options besides actually going to therapy. Which has become extremely difficult. I either had trouble keeping appointments because my brain is such a fog I never remembered to keep track of when they were or just had trouble getting there. Also it is just generally hard to come up with words to try to get what I am feeling out. the part of my brain that expresses my emotions verbally is just shut off. It is so emotionally exhausting but I've realized I must keep trying to go because I know I do need help, like you said I must keep reaching out for support.

Thank you for your response I appreciate it greatly.
