Schizophrenia Support Group
Schizophrenia is a psychiatric diagnosis that describes a mental disorder characterized by impairments in the perception of reality and by significant social dysfunction. Untreated schizophrenia is typically characterized by demonstrating disorganized thinking and experiencing delusions or auditory hallucinations.
I have so many people in my life that i can talk to but i just feel like i cant talk to people i feel lonely in my life at this point ive broken down in tears trying to find a way out but there is none for me besides death it seems like such a simple thing to do, im feeling lonely so maybe i should just do it. I have no friends where i live and im either on my laptop paranoid, listening to music out loud or talking to people from my society. I dont need a voice to tell me i need to die right now i can figure that out myself. Ive told them to shut up for the remainder of the day and they behaved and havent bothered me in awhile. Should i just sleep off these feelings? I dont think so because ill wake up tomorrow feeling the same way lonely and stupid because noone understands my disorder and they dont want too. Its not fair that i have to live like this so many people have hurt me this year maybe its sign who knows?
If you need someone to talk to im here, i dont know much about schizophrenia but i am always willing to listen and support.
Hi. I understand feeling lonely. I have Schizotypal Personality Disorder. I feel lonely all the time, but what ever it is that people get from other people so they do not feel lonely anymore...I am unable to receive that. Hmmm...I don't know if that makes sense, but I understand it. I constantly feel alone and isolated.
I have some suggestions for you. I have found that when I do not have "friends" then I make up friends. This sounds like a very unhealthy thing, but it is not at bad as it sounds. I have found that what I am looking for is not necessarily a human being it's a connection. Since I cannot connect with humans I will find a cat or a dog to pay attention to. I will go to the pet store and play with the puppies. They are very affectionate and they are lonely too.
Another friend that I have made is my journal. I have a big five subject notebook that I carry around all the time. I tell my journal everything that there is to know about me. I hold it and hug it like it is my best buddy(which it is). It even stays in my bed with me while I sleep.
My last suggestion would be spend time where people are. I like to walk around a store....like a mall or a grocery store...somewhere where I will see lots of them. You don't have to interact with them. Just be in the same place where they are. Take in whatever you need from them to feel like you are not alone.
Oh...this may sound rediculous, but it also works very well. Watch a movie that you like and take part in the conversations with the characters. It is part of making your own friends. I have found that most of the time this is a last resort. If I am in such a bad space that I am unable to leave my house to be around other people this is what I do.
I hope some of this works for you. Take care.-mona1200
