I've been going to the Schizophrenia Clinic for about a month and a half, my pdoc has me on 10mg of Cipralex, 1000mg of Seroquel and 10mg of Olanzapine.... I feel better in some ways yet I still feel like no one likes me, my depression won't let go.... or maybe it's true, maybe people just don't like me at all.

Us folks at PC like you Jay!

I'm sorry depression is still bothering you. You've had a lot of stressful things happen lately. HUGS

Jay,
It takes time for some of these things. You know what you do want, and that is a very good start.

I'm glad the clinic and meds are helping too!!
Thanks for this!

Hi, JayS! I'm glad the drugs are doing something. Maybe depression is the next therapeutic target...

Thanks for letting us know how you're doing.

Hi Jay,
that's great news you're going to the clinic and taking the meds - glad they're starting to help a little. Try to be patient because it could take up to 3 months to get the full affect of the meds. Also depression is very stubborn sometimes and even with the best meds, it can be challenging. Are you exercising?? See if you can go for some fast walks.

As far as people not liking you - try not to be concerned with this. You have one special person(Jessi) and that's great. I find in life there's no way we can make everyone like us. Just keep being polite and that's all you can do. If you sense someone doesn't like you, just let it go. It may be true they don't like you or they might be having a rotten day or have issues themselves.

You're doing the right thing trying to get yourself well and that's the most important thing you need to worry about now. Best of luck Jay

(((((((((((((((Amazonmom - ECHOES - Fuzzybear - Rohag - Lynn))))))))))))))))) Thank you everyone.... Big hugs. I'd give you all smiles but they won't work for me. Lynn, I'm trying my best to hold on.... I'm not talking about any one person, when I go out, I can tell, sense when people don't like me.... almost like I can read there thoughts. I try to ignore it but it's everywhere I go.... even my pdoc is starting to make me wonder about him. As for Jess, she's moving to fast.... she's in drive and I'm in park, it's not going to work.
Thanks for this!

HEj Jay S! Good work going to the clinic! It isn't the easiest thing to start getting help, but believe me, it's better than going without. I think I might have read a thread from you before. If so, good to hear from you again. One thing about "feeling" that you "can tell" from people that they don't like you: that feeling can be wrong. I know I had to realize that I was reading information that didn't mean anything (neutral signals) as negative signals that people were sending about me. Turns out that most didn't dislike me; they didn't have many opinions about me at all Problem is, the few times I was right, I took as proof tht I could tell. Got me into a lot of trouble, I can tell you Take care of yourself, and Hugs! Hope to hear from you again!
Thanks for this!
JayS
