You probably just lack confidence, are socially awkward/inept, and are depressed because of it.  You don't want to leave the house because you don't feel relevant. The drugs are making you realize these things but you don't know how to take the steps to correct them or you just get really paranoid from weed.  Sometimes that happens. You need to make some changes in your life to achieve your goals.  I suggest you stop using drugs and start making some positive changes in your life.  You need motivation.  You need to find yourself.

What are your interests, hobbies, etc?  Is there a field you'd like to work in?  Do you want to start a family some day or just be a swinging bachelor throughout your life?

I was in similar situation one time and was questioning my sanity.  Here are some things I did to get my shit together:

1. Get sober

2. Exercise Daily

3. Eat healty

4. Stimulate myself intellectually

5. Create and maintain healthy social relationships.  If you hang out with fuckheads or your family members are fuckheads themselves, get them out of your life and do your own thing.  Focus on you and not what the people you hang out with are doing.

6. Learn how to approach, entertain, and compose yourself around women Both short-term and long-term.  You will make mistakes and do things that embarrass yourself.  You learn from these failures so that you do not repeat them.  Ever wonder why a lot of women tend to go after older men? It's because they are experienced, have confidence, and know how to treat a woman.

7. Have a source of income in a field you would want to work in. I chose to not work and live on student loans so that I could focus only on school.  Yes I was poor during this time but I knew when I was done it would pay off. Luckily for me mechanical engineers are highly employable so I had a job right out of college.

8. Laugh and have fun. Life is a playground. Don't take the world so seriously.  Be laid back but responsible.

9. Learn to balance your time.

10. Avoid materialism and social ladder climbing and do what you want to with your life.

11. Stand tall and don't let anyone disrespect you.

12. Be yourself and never pretend to be anyone you are not.  This one may be difficult if you presently don't know who you are.

FWIW, this is coming from a highly introverted person.

But that's just like my opinion, man.




:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

Couldn't say it better myself. I was diagnosed "schizophrenic" and I had to make a lot of life changes and now nobody would guess that I was ever diagnosed schizophrenic.

I actually am schizophrenic. It's not cool you guys. Now sometimes I have more fun than others when I'm high because I'll be tripping like I'm on shrooms while everybody else is just chill, buttttt I still would rather just be fucking normal.

The negative symptoms make living impossible. You have to wait until it improves, there is no overcoming it with force.

I've got all that shit and I just keep on moving on.

Seriously, I was diagnosed as bi-polar, schizophrenic, ADHD, and a host of other bad things. They treated me as a severe alcoholic when, in fact, I have Parkinson Disease. I was masking the severe pain with alcohol because that's all that I could get my hands on to relieve my pain. Now they have me on Morphine, Oxycodone, chlonopin (a benzo,like Xanax) and more other drugs than you can think of.

The problem with all of this is that I DO need these pain killers to function because the pain is so severe. I'm going to the Pain Management doctor and I am going to double up on the Morphine because what they have me on isn't doing it. I don't LIKE taking all of this medication, but I need to be able to function and without this medication, I would go bonkers.

I have no friends except my wife of 23 years, basically ignore most of the things that are important to me and I think I have all of the signs of schizophrenia that you described above.

I feel for you man. I was "normal" once (in a past life), but now, somehow, I feel more comfortable by myself.

I don't smoke or do weed, the Benzos keep me from feeling the mental buzz effects of the narcotics I am on, so I basically don't do drugs.
Whatever it takes, I'm going to get through it.

I just bought a DSLR Camera, and a semi nice Bike. I am going to get into a regimen of exercise and relaxation since the doctors say I can't work anymore. Enough rambling. I just feel for people who have issues. Good Luck.

Sincerely,
bootster

It's just impossible. Case managers encourage you to do more but you don't get any pleasure out of it, you don't even get self-gratification for having tried. All you can do is humor them.

And all you can do is wait. Schizophrenia is an unforgiving illness.

Could not say it better. I agree and have been there myself. After smoking weed for almost 2 years daily I understood that it does not make me happy, actually it made me feel dizzy, dumb and very lazy... I started eating more healthy, joined gym, didn't drink as much anymore and figured out the priorities I have in my life. Basically did all the things listed below and more. Definitely feel happier now.

Sorry I took so long to reply, I'm just now seeing your question.

I don't "hate" people, I would just always think people were lying & trying to trick me & would think my family were trying to hurt me.

Yes, that effects me everyday, I've lost a lot of friends. Like we were friends for 5,6,7 years and now I don't even know where they are on the planet. I use to spend weeks & weeks just in my room. I HATE walking to class on campus. I don't go to a huge huge college, but its a few thousand people. I would literally skip school some days because I didn't want to be around all those people.

When you set aside all rationalization.. there is only a choice.. to be afraid or to be at peace.. if you are afraid or at peace, it will not change the situation.. only the way you feel about it..

( I can elaborate further, though it would be nothing bu rambling if i added it now..)


--------------------
And thus begins the  reverse-fusing of our one-dimentional understanding, and adds ever-expanding perspectives, in depth and number; splitting our perception, and in so doing, seemingly irrationally, creates yet more one-ness, with all that ever was, is and will ever be, streching across the infinite, inunderstood concept of everything, percievable and not.

No, I totally get what you're saying, you don't even have to say more!

"If you are depressed, you're still living in your regrets of the past. If you're always worrying, you're living in the fear of the future. But when you finally cease the moment at hand and forgot the should've, could've, would've... you'll be at peace."

It won't matter the situation, it's all about your mind.
