I know I donโ€™t fit in anywhere but I have such a problem with constant worry and fear of the future as well. Does anyone have a recommendation other than medication?

โ€ข in reply toHopeandFaith100

Hi. Can you try taking it one day at a time?

What do you mean by not fitting in anywhere?

I just never feel like I belong to anyone or anywhere. I donโ€™t think Iโ€™m like other people at all. I guess thatโ€™s because I have schizophrenia

โ€ข in reply toHopeandFaith100

That must be so alienating, so I'm sorry you feel that.

Is that attributed to Mark Twain, . . . I'm now wondering ?

Seems like a near-foolproof concept, doesn't it ?

Mark Twain his worries never happened for him but for us during this time, they do exist ๐Ÿคฃ

Worrying is only good for one thing, and that is being prepared for anything.... My family always kept me in a constant state of worry... Because of their lack of consideration and support... They enjoyed watching me suffer for decades... It sent me on a wild goose chase, a journey... Then one day it stopped, and I became grounded... Through out my journey I did many things... I went to battle, I conquered skills, and crafts...the pain forged a furnace of fire and power... I still worry sometimes but I let it guide me instead of dragging me down instilling fear into my guts.... My paranoia is like a war inside my head.... I'm a warrior.

Albert & Stephen weren't too good at 'math' at some stages either. They worked at it, gently, for a little longer.

Not too many know that about Einstein & Hawkin ! ;)

How did you separate yourself from your familyโ€™s influence?

Freakinout3โ€ข in reply to

I tried to escape them but the ties that bind were too strong... I wanted to go and play but am not allowed.... I asked the universe why this is....and got absolutely no answers... All I know is the more I tried to escape the more tighter the grip on me... Like a Venus fly trap

Freakinout3โ€ข in reply to

When I was young I was at a disadvantage.... I had to suffer while other kids could connect and have a good time.... In a way I'm still under my father's thumb.... I don't see me escaping at this point even though I live in my own apartment... Believe me I tried everything... That's why they call it "The ties that bind"

โ€ข in reply toFreakinout3

You have your own apartment, you already took the first step to the path of being independent! I know there are men financially independent still wanna stay with mommies lol. It is all in your mind, everything takes risks and courage. Setting boundaries will be necessary. As I can see not only you but with whoever comes into your life as a partner/spouse will suffer the same way you do if you donโ€™t resolve that.

I think if you're gonna be totally independent you definitely need outside support as well as your family to release you... If you love someone they're supposed to set you free not make you an emotional, or mental slave... They say mental slavery are the unbreakable chains... Everytime I try to break these chains someone steps in and reshackles me... And then I have to start the freeing process over again..
