get help to get out of your parents house...that might be part of the problem...then work on your health with a dr and a counselor....you need out
Schizophrenia is the best. i hear its better than an acid trip
i think you should talk to a therapist good luck,hope i helped<333
I think you need to see a therapist. :)))
I would first ask you if you're in therapy??? IF you are you need to talk to your therapist about hooking you up with a social worker who can help you with your other issues. There are housing options for people with mental illnesses so that they don't have to live at home. There are social organizations for people with mental illness so that they can make friends and have people around them that understand their issues. IF you're not in therapy that would be the place that I would start. REMEMBER YOU ARE AN ADULT you need to act like it and to take your life back. Contact the nearest hospital with a mental health facility if you're not in therapy and go into therapy and connect with a social worker who can help you get the rest in motion. Once you stop sitting there waiting for life to happen, you'll feel better about your self and others will treat you better.
Ya know, if there are decent half way houses (not sure what the right name is) where you can have some independence and help at finding work that suits you, it might not be such a bad idea. That's a lot different than a mental facility! The thing is, you'll have to assume full responsiblity for staying med compliant and working with the doctor on finding meds that really do work for you without untenuable side effects. You'll also have to be motivated to keep at least a part time job. Anyway, it's an idea.
find aohuroh GOD will help you
Ii think that you should talk to a therapist or your family doctor about options. Are you taking meds for ur illness ? rememeber it`s a illness not a weakness!! You show you care enough by asking for help here. stay strong and keep trying to get better . try meeting new friends at places you like to be at .you are still young.. your first`s will come . take care
if u can work get a job and do what ever other young person does, get loans from the bank and save your *** off!! then u can get your own place, a car, find a girlfriend, make new friends in your work and hopefully feel a bit independent and happier with your life and no one can boss u around. U get to do whatever u want. U will never feel better about the situation so the only answer is to get your own place. I truly believe there is a person out there for everyone so love will come in its own time. its not unusual to b single at 23. See about getting your meds changed if your still hallucinating. Being a virgin is not a bad thing, its to be admired in this day and age. Good luck. Dont listen to a**holes like first answer!!!
I think a facility could help! honestly you could work on getting better and you could meet people who relate to your situation! and who knows... maybe a kiss! : *
haha
goood luck! <333
You need a good assessment of your condition , and get the treatment recommended , which may be drugs and counselling.
Having friends , getting a girl friend are all a part of being in a situation where you are in contact with other people of a similar age , like a job or school.
Your parents may not know what they can do to help you , and that can cause them a lot of pain . I would hope they want you to be happy.
I dont know that a mental institution is right for you , it would depend on what sort of program is available . A live in program to get your mediactions sorted out , and some counselling and job training might be good for you.
Once you are in a position to get a job , the social interaction will improve and friends will follow. Until that happens you could see if there are any clubs that you could join to meet people with similar interests .
Be sure you have applied for all aid that you might be entitled too, such as social security or welfare from the county. You may also qualify for a jobs assistance program from your State job center.
Good luck !
