Is anyone else schizophrenic?

[irregularheartbeat]

I find my schizophrenia contributes to myself being suicidal alot. I feel hopeless knowing Ill never be without this disorder, Im 21 and have never been without symptoms.
Lately treatment hasnt been helping much. I think I might be medication resisitant. Since 14 years old Ive tried almost every medication and combo. None seemed to helo, and Im extremely prone to side effects. Ive been in and out of hospitals, dbt, cbt, groups, just about everything.
I dont have hope for ever being better. I cant see a functional future for myself, I just really dont know what to do anymore. I live in GA in the us, there arent many options near me I havent tried.
Im so fucking hopeless.

I live in SC, and it seems like GA has great mental-health care. Apparently there are entire emergency rooms dedicated to psychiatric issues there. The GA city that's nearest me is Savannah. At least in comparison to South Carolina, Georgia is quite advanced in the field of mental health.

Actually, I work in mental health, and a handful of my co-workers used to work in GA as behavioral health technicians. If you feel like pm'ing me your city, I could ask the people at work about the best options nearest you. Keep on keepin' on. My mom was born in Brunswick, GA.

I have a family member who is schizophrenic.
You are NOT hopeless.

Have you tried Clozaril?

In case this is of use. http://schizophrenia.com/?p=740 It's about Sarcasine, which has been shown as having a good effect for the negative symptoms of SZ.

I can't imagine how hard it is - but I hope you find some good treatment for you. They are learning more about the brain every year. People on Reddit might also have tips - am sure there is a Reddit group.
