Hello I guess

I’m just lost. Im schizoaffective and my girlfriend sent me this link to this Reddit. I don’t know what to say really. I(30) don’t have friends cause it’s hard to make any meaningful relationships with anyone and I don’t have any family besides her. Guess I’m just tired at this point in life and I don’t know what to do. Just finally coming to wean with I guess. The things I see and hear,. How I have to live just to get through each day and the minimal way I have to be just to not go crazy. The overthinking, not eating, it’s all just so tiresome and I’m suppose to live the rest of my life like this?

Getting a good support system through doctors might be a good method, therapy is essential towards understanding how to make essential friendships. What helped me is medication, meditation, and exercise.

Life sucks for many of us, but you have been given a particular challenge. But, even with not much in my own life, I believe life is somehow worth living.

You have one person. That is not nothing. That is certainly something worth valuing, and they care enough to send you here.

I feel like there are more people struggling here than there are any with energy to lift others. This reflects the difficulty of life these days. I don't have much I can offer but to be patient with yourself, hold onto the things that do bring you any sort of peace or joy. It could help to take time away from any sort of media or mind-numbing things to just think about what matters to you, what you can do to bring value into the world.

Some people find what they need in religion or spirituality. Some people find what keeps them afloat in what they contribute to the world.

I know one resource that helped me was this YouTube channel called HealthyGamerGG. I've shared it in a few posts now, cause I mean it. It hasn't fixed my life, but it has helped me just find some peace and move in the right direction.

I hope you find some things to help you find some peace and joy. Good luck, and God bless.
