My sister was diagnosed with negative schizophrenia 4 years ago and unfortunately has never been the same :( it breaks my heart, she was my best friend. She has a very severe case of this illness…. She is a completely different person.
She had so much life ahead of her. She is withdrawn and is in her room 24/7. I can’t get more than a few words from her at a time. I try to plan things and get her out of the house but never have success. It truly is painful seeing her be a shell of who she was. She chain smokes a pack of cigarettes a day. No friends. No life. She lives with my Mum and is under mental health but there is nothing anyone can do. I don’t know what the point of this post is. Maybe for some support :( I worry about her constantly.
