I live in town of 2000 people. There is a support network here. I dont go there. A couple guys I saw in the city hospital live in this town. Sz is bad to have but often when one is afflicted they dont care but suffer anyway. I wish I was a normal healthy person.

That’s literally a death wish. I don’t know what happens after death and having sz has destroyed my certainty in any intuitive thoughts and aps dont give me the clarity to answer these questions

You can turn your health around. First thing start eating right. Then after a while you’ll feel like exercise. It will be hard but then stop smoking. You dont have to do it all at once.

Pretty much man.. might join a cooking course or something. I try and walk as much as I can cause I have type 2 diabetes. I usually do well exept when its freezing outside and dont feel like waiting 15 mins for a bus that’s always late. Transit here is a joke

Cooking course is good, but focus on simple healthy, cheap meals. Beans, lean meat, fish with small amount carb and veg. Get those ingredients and mix them in a bowl for lunch and dinner. Dont eat snacks. Drink water or tea.

Hello, I live in a village of about 33k. There are aspects to like about schizophrenia for instance in general we are more spiritual…. In that way I think we would be more gifted here and later on, post death.

I live in a village of 250 people. I was kinda fast and loose in regards to telling select people. As a result now everyone knows. Is a gossipy village.
I really don’t care though. The folk I care about are fine with it

I don’t hide it. I state plainly on my photography site that I have schizophrenia. Also that I am ASD1. It’s just not obvious that I am mentally ill because of my level of function and autism masking skills (I have more issues with autism than SZ).
I live in a town of 15,000 people.

I live in a pretty small town. I don’t think mentally ill people are appreciated around here, including me.

I live in a city of 30k people so I can relate. There are definitely problems here. Some drugs. But it’s pretty chill. There’s like a New York vibe because we’re close enough to the city. There’s a bus that goes there and back takes 2 hours
