Life is getting rough now

Though I’m on a new medication that works extremely well, I’m having troubles in my personal life.

Was recently fired from my job and now I need to move back in with my mother. The town I live in is small and there are practically no jobs. Really stressed right now.

I live in a town with a lack of jobs atm too. I can kind of relate to that stress. Don’t let it consume you, and keep looking for work I guess.

I’ve been looking. There’s absolutely nothing.

Sorry life is tough for me rn

Could u commute? I remember the last job I had before sz ..I had to drive an hour to and from work every day.

Maybe u can work in the next town over? Just don’t get overwhelmed bro… You will be ok …right?

I’ve been looking for jobs around my town too. They are also small so there are still practically no jobs. Just applied to 10 Starbucks stores. I hope they respond. I might have an edge because I’ve worked at Starbucks before.

I’ve had to do that I just got my own place a year ago. I felt more comfortable living with family

The only positive part for me is that I can save a bunch of money over time for a new car. My car is getting old.

My mom loves me but my stepdad I’m not so sure.

I’m sure your parents love you, it’s just schizophrenia talking. Life is hard for people like us.

I’ve been hearing their voices telling me it’s going to die and stuff

I don’t hear voices, but I sometimes think people send thoughts to my brain through a microchip implanted under my scalp. Now I know it’s not real. The only thing that makes me go back to psychotic thinking is that when I ignore these delusions, corporations make my life worse like this because they’re making money off of me being a zoo animal to everyone (I have the Truman show delusion) but I know it’s not real, just like your voices are not real.

Have you considered talking to your doctor to put you on a different medication?

Listen mate - the first thing you got to learn to do is chill the hell out mate.

Your not the first, and wont be the last that goes back to mum, because of a crisis.

Thats what mums are for - to pick you up, when your in the crap.

If your still getting strange thoughts, when your on nut drugs @turtle - then its obvious you need something else. Go hassle the hell out of your prescribing doctor.

The new medicine I’m on works a lot better than clozapine. No delusions. Just stressed out by my situation.

Oh sorry you were talking to turtle about the medication, not me. Sorry about that.

And turtle, I know you’ll be fine. Just talk to your doctor about different medications. It’s amazing how much a chemical can affect you.
