I've never met anyone with schizophrenia so I can't give you speak with experience, but the thing that comes to mind is to try and meet someone who's either similar to you, or familiar with that condition, maybe there's forums dedicated to people who suffer from the same?
Do you have some sort of hobby you can immerse yourself in?
You said you had no GF, but how about other friends you can hang out with?
And then obviously you can chat with people right here.
I think the thing you need to do to keep negativity at bay is keep yourself occupied, or at least not focus on the things you lack in life and try to fix those, hard as it might be.

I'm very sorry to hear about your diagnosis Tx2116. *hug* All I can say is that people often fear what they do not understand. In the past you may have been the shaman of your tribe, revered respected, and sought after for medicinal and spiritual help. However, today, it seems there is little use for a shaman in modern society. I hope for you in time to learn to let go of your anger. It is not easy to accept these kinds of things, the injustice, the unfairness of it.

You are not alone on your journey, even though, it may often feel that way. There have been many before you with the same plight and I'm sure there will be many to come. :/ I suppose as far as the anger goes, all you can do is try to channel it through creative mediums, as with the sadness. You have every right to be angry and sad/hurt, but perhaps in time you'll find a way to rise above these emotions and not let them get in the way of enjoying the things in life you can still enjoy.

Take care and good luck.

As has been pointed out to me, this is not a mental illness forum. Some people here have mental illnesses, but not all.

I suggest this forum. It covers a variety of mental disorders there.

I don't really know anything about schizophrenia, but it sounds like you're giving up too soon. Look for a girl with similar issues, maybe?

Hello Tx2116, maybe the medication you are on is making you yawn? I was wrongly diagnosed with schizophrenia many years ago (I actually have Aspergers) and I was put onto high doses of anti psychotic medication which made me sleep for 16 hours a day. So this could be what is happening to you. Could you discuss it with your psychiatrist and maybe s/he could suggest a different medication.
Your diagnosis does not mean that you will never get a girlfriend. Once your condition stabalises, there is no reason why you shouldn't meet someone nice. Someone I know, a man in his late twenties, has schizophrenia, and he is now on the lookout to meet someone. He socialises and many people (including me) really enjoy his company. His medication was changed some months ago and since then he has also lost a lot of weight as his previous medication sent his weight racing up.

Hi there. I have schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. So, if you need some understanding, I may be able to help.

Some things that make me feel better or happier are the little things that I do for myself. Sometimes I take a walk, eat a candy bar, listen to music, take a hot shower, watch funny youtube videos, etc. Exercise is great for when you are angry.

I hope that you can feel better soon.

I don't have any experience of these problems, but I'd agree with this ^. I figure that if you indulge yourself in something you really like or that relaxes you than that's something that will make you feel better and settle your mind.

I wasn't suggesting that.

I am a member of a separate anxiety forum, since I have that diagnosed condition. I just feel you should have as many open ears as possible, and it's possible to make friends in both places.
