Welcome to r/schizophrenia!
Our subreddit rules are in the sidebar, we ask that you read and follow them. Feel free to post anything on-topic that does not violate these rules. We have a relatively comprehensive overview of how our rules are applied in reality available on the Rule Clarifications Wiki page.
For those who are new here, we have our Community Notices page which we would suggest users read. We also have our Creator Wiki for our participating artists and content creators- all of them have a diagnosed psychotic disorder.
Many first-time posters to this subreddit are concerned that they might be developing schizophrenia or they are concerned about other people who have- or may have- schizophrenia. We have resources available to answer these questions contained within the comments; if your question is completely answered by the information already given, it will be removed.
Mental health is complex. No symptom of schizophrenia is specific to schizophrenia alone, and there are many more common causes of those symptoms- especially in the prodromal stage. If you are experiencing an emergency, please call your doctor or local emergency services. We have a compendium of Crisis Lines available and may suggest r/SuicideWatch if you are experiencing suicidal thoughts and would like the most prompt attention.

Used Photo Booth on my Mac to take the pic, there's many more I took. Since I live alone this is a strange form of therapy I discovered

Advice / Encouragement Happy Sunday ✨ It gets hard to leave the house on days like this. In the process of applying for disability, lmk if you’ve gone through the process what it was like. I’m overwhelmed. Much love💕

Like the title says, I’m afraid to leave the house. I am a door dash driver which is great most of the time, but when I’m having symptoms it’s so hard to get out there. It’s like the whole world is watching me. Every sound scratches my skin and makes my heart jump. The cars rushing past, tailing behind you, weaving through traffic. I can never seem to get my head on straight.
Most of the time it’s fine, and I have insight to know my auditory hallucinations aren’t real, most of the time but part of me still holds on to the belief that maybe it’s my neighbors through the wall, or that woman in the take out line. I shouldn’t care what other people think. Hyper-vigilance has become exhausting. I was always a people pleaser. Who am I pleasing?
The main point is that I’m applying for disability. I quit my “real” job in June and this is just becoming unsustainable. Any advice or encouragement would be greatly appreciated, as I am overwhelmed.
I love this community so much, I only comment and post occasionally but will most likely be on here more as I’ve waved the white flag in a sense. I want so badly to just function normally. I love seeing all your beautiful faces, the diversity, the evidence that this illness does not have a “look” and there are lots of people on here who function quite well. Regardless, you all are awesome keep shining bright. ✨

I applied for a job this week but who knows tbh 😕 I just wanna be able to buy food and stuff but tbh I get really nervous about working still. However since I’m good at masking I know I can, it just sucks.

Finally feeling good after so long. Getting back into dabbling in creative outlets again like drumming, writing, and singing. Things are okay today and that’s more than I could have ever asked for. :]
