I am Hugh functioning schizophrenic but just right now it's torture because no family support.
It seems you have come to 2p2 for support. I'm sorry to hear your family doesn't have your back, but often enough good friends can make family replaceable.
Having schizophrenia must be awful. I've experienced a lot of what mood disorders have to offer, they can be totally crippling especially financially. You have earned the right to accept government assistance, how you chose to spend it is your choice.
I think improvement is mostly all that matters. We can't change the past, what's happened to us, or our genetics. But we can work towards improving ourselves, which is extra challenging if you have a severe mood issue. I think OP should be given time and space to improve himself if he wants to!
And it's okay if he doesn't. OP is aiming to improve, that might be the first step, and I think it's awesome.
This seems like the wrong forum for disparaging others. Even if OP were to take 10 steps back before 1 forward, we should allow him to do so in a well-intended environment.
