Nobody cares is familiar with me. Have you tried dbsa support groups or any support groups?
Your anxiety about your situation will just keep building. At least, I'm afraid it would.
I don't know your med situation so no input there.
You will only reach your goal if you can be calm enough to set tiny goals. You can also work on 'thinking above your thoughts: feeling above your feelings.' Whatever you think about is what you will get. Like it or not.
People like us have to find others like us. They will like us. Others can understand. Anything is better than nobody likes me because I doubt that is true.
Saying no one likes me makes it real. Thinking that thought then you will come to believe that no one likes you.Here's something I found online
Decide what it is you want.
Make a plan
Write it down
and work it
every
single
day.The correct mindset along with just being still and breathing will make you more hopeful. Instead of saying I have to get out of this house which is about as dark a thought as any. Drive around and see places you might want to live. Hell, go look at some apartments. Think of how you would arrange them, where your stuff would go.That will give you motivation and that's what you want.
If you do nothing and keep telling yourself negative messages you will not get well.
This will take a while so be patient. Never say negative things about yourself. don't sit around dwelling on the sorry state of your life. It is the worst path to take. Out think this sh*t.
Get outside.
Go to museums and soak in art. Play music that makes you feel good.
We often lose friends to our disease but we do not have to keep living that way. No one is friendless unless, at some level, they don't want friends.
One single day at a time. Don't project on forever. Be thankful for everything because what you are in the middle of is trying to teach you.
Every problem has a solution. Be calm, move slow. Didn't the turtle finish first? :)these are just things to think about. I'm doing these right now. Meds never do it all.
It is not I'll believe it when I see it
Rather, I will see it when I believe it.Eat right. Take care of yourself. Get medical attention if needed.
There are no magic solutions. You will have to change and maybe that is a part of the reason that you feel stuck. This isn't a problem, it's a fanf*ck*ngtastic opportunity to change your life.
Be grateful for good and bad. Sometimes the worst things are our best teachers.
pay the receptionist on your way out. five cents for this session.
***** The essential question in psychiatry should not be, what's wrong with you, but rather, what's happened to you? *****
