I suffer schizophrenia have been diagnosed for 13 years now constantly getting jabbed don’t know if the medication is working but take it anyway been an addict on drugs in my younger life for 7 plus years don’t touch them now though been a alcoholic that started at weekend drinking or after work when I was a teen and developed into an everyday scene I have 3 kids all young don’t work but wish I could been to jail and crashed my car I’ve had suicidal thoughts and just over the years destroyed myself slowly learning why and what caused the destruction I’m 35 now and just struggle everyday I’m sad still angry and alone so that’s that just trying to hang in there I guess

Welcome to the forums @Battleox12 

Sorry to hear that you feel like you're just hanging in there at the moment. It sounds like you've had a lot to cope with over the years. Hopefully this is a place you can be yourself, without any worries 🙂

Hi @Battleox12

Thanks  for sharing your story. Im sorry to hear you have had difficult times in your life and it certainly seems like you have been through a lot. Im wondering do have support right now?

You mention you would like to find work again. Do you have any plans to work toward that goal in the near future?

Hey no support atm start therapy soon but last time I went was more or less just good advise but hopefully it can help this time and yeah work would be good ima try save for a car again and get back on the road do some studies and get some tickets just things are moving slow as I’m always busy with the three kids and house works I am alone and longing for company but everyday I wake up I try my best just trying to keep the bad and negative thoughts out and count the blessing I do have

Hi @Battleox12 

Its been a while since we have heard from you, how is the job hunting going.  Its good that you are getting help, things always seem to move slowly at the start, but its good that you are working on yourself.  Nice to hear that despite your woes you are still counting your blessings.  Would imagine that looking after 3 kids would keep you busy, but would also provide happiness aswell.  🙂

Hope this finds you well
