If you haven't already, get help.
Not for the suicide part, for the schizophrenia. Therapy and medicines can definitely improve your situation. I'm not shilling for big pharma. There are options for you to get better. Try every one of them.
Also, keep posting here to let us know how you're doing.
you are very naive!!!
I believe he is as well. These state-funded "therapists" know nothing.
I don't know if I have tried every one of them, but dude I have been to 35+ psych wards, and none of them helped me. I have even gone to 2 long term psych group homes and neither one of them helped.
Listening to cops trying to bust down your door for hours each night gets old quick. It's like fucking do it already...
Drugs don't even help anymore. Weed just turns the volume up on the voices x10 and I don't want to do heroin or dope anymore.
I'm pretty sure my mother and half-sister are recently suffering from schizophrenia(like within the past few years), but moms think it's her neighbors and my sister thinks its somekind of spiritual entity... no help from either because of that.
I have been on forums my whole life, they were part of my social life. and Voat becoming the way it is recently just hits me that much harder... these forums are not that popular(wow I didn't expect my post to get this many comments...)
A buddy of mine was on meds for years until he decided he didn't need them anymore. A week later he hung himself in the garage. All of us he left behind, especially his wife and three kids, are fucked up over it. I'm not saying there's one silver bullet that will cure you but I have to think there's a combination of treatments that will mitigate things. Your mom and sister might not care but I guarantee there are others out there who would.
Maybe they weren't doing anything for him and that's why he stopped taking them... From what I learned in "group"(which really is going over such broad of topics that they don't help) I have been on 2 of the 3 latest anti-psychotic meds long-term and neither one of them did anything for me. Imagine hearing comments coming from every car that drives by you while walking on the sidewalk. That's what i deal with on a daily basis.
I might go to something long-term again but wow does it seem hopeless to me. I don't have much to leave behind. I don't interact with my parents much I doubt they would miss me. I used to have friends... the ones that arent dead or still on drugs are doing their own thing with their own families.
