Group therapy has been shown to be as effective as one-on-one therapy for a lot of people. It’s worth it to try just a couple times.

Thank you. Yes, I haven’t completely given up hope. I know this post was extremely heavy and uh, I was having a moment. I have schizoaffective disorder that runs in the family and it’s been kicking my ass recently. Which is also why it took me a whole week to even look at the other responses. I think I might post on Lemmy what I’ve learned about this mental disorder. Even though it’s been hell to endure, having knowledge about the enemy in my head has given back to me some power. There are a few good neuroscience videos on the how and why of psychotic spectrum disorders like schizophrenia and schizoaffective.

I’m glad to hear you’re moving forward with better understanding of how your brain functions and (hopefully) how to address some of the challenges that can present.

Takes it easy man. Drinking and eating correctly can give you energies and make you feel better, exercises and outdoor activity also help

I’m sorry this got so heavy. It’s been a lot this month. Stupid brain not working. Yes, absolutely. A vegetable and a walk can help, there’s no denying that. It won’t cure it, the disorder I have called schizoaffective disorder, but it’s still better than nothing. I got some red peppers and a glass of water. All set.

Theres a hole from here to hell.
Fall deep, and find no peace.
In the sea of tragic beasts.

The gates of hell are open night and day, smooth is the descent and easy is the way.

The only home sure to accept any and all as they come;
With open arms and barbed claws, inviting you in before becoming fearsome.

I guess you can’t go to your family for legit reasons, but what about family friends?

I posted this and then ran away (or rather, rolled over and played dead possum), but I’m back and not dead yay. I actually had not even thought about this. Thank you. I know one family friend of my mom’s. They’re someone I could maybe talk to, it’s just that I’m so severely anxious to approach anyone. I will try.

Anon needs to hunt down their old psychiatrist and find a way to move closer to them.

This sounds like that movie What About Bob.
