How can I be confident when I have schizophrenia?!


Question: How can I be confident when I have schizophrenia?
I have schizophrenia & I mostly suffer from the negative symptoms of it (depression, anxiety, non-expressive face). How can I be confident when confidence is a mental thing and my mental capabilities are lacking?

(I'm already seeing a therapist and taking medication & they're not helping.)

Well, this depends on your thought process. If you have schizophrenia, then realize that there are OTHERS with schizophrenia, and by the sound of it, much worse than yours. The Anxiety of not being confident itself may be a symptom...

Do you know anyone else with schizophrenia? Maybe if you talk to someone with the same problems, then you won't feel ... beneath them?

My mom has schizophrenia, and so i'm very accostomed to the side effects that come with it not only to the person their self, but their family as well..
Hopefully you have a good support, and just realize that just because you're schizo doesn't mean everyone KNOWS you're schizo, to most people you have a clean slate, and take advantage of that... we all have our insecurites, but just deal with it the best you can, and make sure taking meds/ getting therapy doesn't make you feel estranged.



First stop using the mind so much and also do not put such a heavy label on yourself. It seems youre believing this, so I would say stop believing in this thought. Its like Mooji says " A thought without belief has no power, A thought with belief can start a war." Dont start this war find another battle to fight. I really hope you pull yourself out of this. I cant completely understand your schizophrenia but I can tell you the mind is a very powerful thing and you need to use it for good thoughts.
