No friends and schizophrenia

No friends and schizophrenia

Good greetings!🌺

Howdy!🤠

TW: mentions of sexual abuse and traumatic events

Content/trigger warning
I have been molested and raped and bullied and set up etc

I have been diagnosed with schizophrenia but believe its ptsd.

I loved people around me but they didnt love me back.

'Parents 'hated me and were abusive along with others and some of my haters and abusrs have positions of power and lied about me and excluded me from society and incited hate so i would be alone snd unloved.

They treated siblings so well.they got love , encouragement ,support ,friends , holidays, and were not molested or critisised 24/7 and devalued and unloved.

They dont email or care about me .

'Roll of mother one' mocked me and rideculed my suffering and had a agressive anc mean spirit .

Most if my 47 year old life i have not felt like myself.

Felt like others were in my body acting as me maluciously against my will.

Content/trigger warning
Raping me n stuff actually too.

I want to be myself in my real body .

Have my own true eyes and spirit and nature and space and love etc

Feel like myself and space to be.

Be me.exist.

I very few moments rarely i get to feel like myself.

Seems like no one knows me or loves me.not in my real body.

Like if i was in another body that get loce n respect but my real body gets disrespect and it deserves respect and love and kibdness.

I was excluded from communities and had people walking over me agressively.

I turn other cheek yr after yr.

Self respect means avoiding those who disrespect one.

Think some lued about me.

Content/trigger warning

Also had a x boyfriend have me naked on swinger site and i dont want be swinger but he did. He us multi milkionaire director hypnotist n friends with judges etc

He took over profile and pretended to be me.

He chatted with people around the world prwtending to be ne while i waz isolated and bullied and excluded.

Also took my old email.

I had voices 8 yrs agonising but thankfully stopped.

Said no one loves me .everyone pretended and other stuff that hurt.

Had some delusions too.

Have no friends but have a boyfriend and dog.

I was vegan 6 yrs but then when my horse died i stopped exercising and being vegan and put on weight. [edited by moderator]

Obese now.

Want to be vegan again for animals mostly n be cruelty free more n care.

I been vegetarian lately but reckin be vegan again.

I could not feel my own eyes and connect with myself or otgers.

Even the support group I attended was opressing n excluding n acting strange n belittling around n to me. [edited by moderator]

Im not a member if any religion but believe in my own way and pray sometimes.

Was not welcone places.

Want reclaim myself n who n all i am n connect with true beaut friends n people n so.

Family were not fair or nice but bullued n hated n devalued ne as worthless n critisise constantly so avoid them as abuse occured.

I have had traumatic experiences and no one believes me because my abusers are popular and lied about ne n lots in on it.

Im asking for genuine suppirt network and kindness etc

For myself and others and all.

I volunteer worked a little but felt bullied or disrespected so quit.

I also was employed a little but mistly veen on dusabiliry pension yet i believe my true eyes abd spirit n nature have been working n loving n caring n doing good but diesbt look like it.

Some loomed n felt good were not n some looked n felt bad were good.

I said not for sale to director x i had but felt restrained against will.

I have been hospitalised 3 times.

Currently not psychotic but i feel so disconnected n bullied n devalued n isolated n unloved n cared for.

Im not medicated other than sleep aid if needed.

I have a roof over my head n i know there are homeless people and i try to give to charity every pay day to help homeless .

When i was alone as child i cried why does no one love me not even 'mother '.

She not real mum because real ines love not pretend to while abusing .

Content/trigger warning

I once said i love you to her n she screamed hatefully theres ni such thing as love only power.

I dont get encouraged to exercise but was told im not allowed to exercise and gyms made me feel unwelcome n some attacked me with bad vibe.

At bridge with x step mum n all her friends they excluded me n attacked me n cheated in trippke a battery n were so cruel to me who was alone n excluded n unarmed n gentle n peaceful.

Re: No friends and schizophrenia

Welcome to the forums @Rovja

Hi friend i hear you, life has been hellish for you and at the moment you do not know if you are Mary or Martha.

As someone who also suffers from psychosis, i would like to encourage you to find counselling to deal with the P.T.S.D side of your illness. i also have C.P.T.S.D, DID, and Schizo-effective disorder, and would be able to share lots of experiences with you and also friendship.

Are you on medication at the moment? Are there other factors that effect your psychosis? E.g what are some of your triggers? Do you feel physically safe were you are now? How long have you had your current boyfriend? Does he know what you are going through, or do you keep that side of you quiet?

What is your sleep like? Do you have big psychotic episodes with vivid hallucinations, or more a constant low level psychosis with little or without visual disturbances?

Howdy 🤠there @DownMoreThanUp !

Thank you for the welcome and advice.

I am hoping to start counselling/therapy.

Currently am not on medication except for sleeping medication if needed.

Have had insomnia all my life but thankfully better lately.

I am not psychotic just feel emotionally abused , bullied , isolated , lied about , alone and not understood or heard or loved or valued etc disconnected etc

My boyfriend thinks i should go to therapy and hopefully get help and support with that.

Appreciate it!

Re: No friends and schizophrenia

@Rovja Yes therapy can work wonders.

Though do your research carefully, the first counsellings i received did more harm than good. The best is to go by reviews rather than have one appointed to you blindly. For good counselling did make a world of difference in my life. As a matter of fact it was life changing, for i gained control over my illness, instead of the other way around.

Therefore i reckon it is essential the counsellor teaches you skills in mindfulness and cultivating inner love for yourself. Not merely a selfish love, for then it is only for us impart, and we still miss love where we really need it the most. We need to cultivate love where we are hurting our hell, in all our divided self buried, rotting underneath the garbage, trampled upon, utterly rejected, and hated often even by ourselves, hurting our hell. My life has never been the same after i began to cultivate love for myself within myself.

i hope you also find good support and help. To be mentally ill sucks big time.

This song describes my journey finding healing for myself. This song describes my reality perfectly believing in a religious God. The answer to all of that, also for me, the song gives before the music starts. So glad true God found me and brought me healing for my badly broken heart.

Re: No friends and schizophrenia

Hello @rav3n

sorry to bust in on this thread but part of the reason I was interested in SANE was to learn about others with schizophrenia and make some connections.

I was browsing the site and came across the research project into stigma and schizophrenia, then found my way to some data which was interesting about relationships with friends' family etc. Research is important I believe, as is outcomes.

It would be great to keep informed about this project and its outcomes as it seems to be ongoing, if you like you can pass my details along, or if there are pathways out of this project to outcomes direct me there.

Here to help if possible.
