ill not forget what you said here. im alaways in seek of approval but in fact ,who needs it. i know my intentions. ill just do it alone,and its not that bad.

Glad I could be of help.

but emotions are not good too,when u let urself to them...how do you control it ?

That's part of being schizo... Not really something you choose. If you can't do it, you have to work around it.

for example i cant handle the emotion when someone makes me a compliment, i feel like they are mocking me or talking with irony

Well that's paranoia. I suppose there are many ways to treat it, but the only safe one would be psychotherapy. Or meditation perhaps could help. I like the idea a lot, but I'm too erratic to be able to do it. If you can manage to do it, regardless of what problems you have, or even which kind of meditation you choose, I think it's a great idea.

Tried meditation but didnt work for me. meditated for a week for 1 hour a day. I felt like it confused me more. plus nowadays i rarely am alone in my house. and its embarrasing meditating and someone of family opening the door and seeing u.
anyway i should open a new post but ill write it here. yesterday was the best day of the year for me . i was at school for a presantation , i didnt get bored or anxious, i got along with friends ,laughing ,talking etc. seems like a normal thing but it was great for me.
but when i got home,it was like something wants to pull me down. giving me disturbing thoughts. and it work,i felt so depressed and hopeless. what is this . .

It's good that you can do it. Try to hold on to these memories. Sometimes they fade away if you don't.

You're switching pretty fast from enjoyment to recollection of trauma. This isn't going to get better without treatment. It's okay to be unpredictable to some degree, but this is preventing you from having any lasting peace. Do you have a counselor you can see? Something casual, maybe? Someone to give you directions, at least. Sooner or later you're going to need someone there to help you figure it all out.

i dont know why but i didnt get at all what you mean...if u can rewrite it ?

What I mean is that you DO have character! Having character is when there's something unique about you, something that makes people remember you. It's that person who blandly agrees with everything, who doesn't speak up, who doesn't rock the boat once in a while; they're the ones without character. You, on the other hand, have character. So get out there and enjoy that character!
I don't care if it hurts, I want to have control,
I want a perfect body, I want a perfect soul,
I want you to notice when I'm not around,
You're so ____in' special,
I wish I was special.
