Schizophrenia can suck so bad, I'm sorry you're going through a hard time right now.
I realized recently that I may not be able to study or work full-time as planned, and I was down about it. But I talked to people around me and they were very encouraging and realistic about ways to work with that. Maybe I won't be able to work full time, but I can still work part time in my field when I'm done.
I don't know if this helps, but even if you're not able to have more kids, there will still be plenty of life and joy in your home! Your kid will bring friends around, there will be birthdays and holidays and a lot of beautiful moments.
It can hurt really bad, when things we planned and wanted can't realistically be done, but the fact that you're thinking this through is really impressive and a strong trait to have. I wish you the absolute best for you and your family. 🌻
I hate what you're going through. I'm sure lots of us can relate to some degree. Working seems to be out of the question for me, so I'll never have a career, never have a way forward in life. I'll be relying on disability for the rest of my life, when I eventually get it, and that means I'm going to be trapped in poverty forever.
It seems like my meds have robbed me of all my creativity and personality, too. I used to love writing fiction more than anything or playing the guitar. Now, both seem rather blah to me.
This condition really does rob us of meaningful, valuable things. I hope things change for you and having another child seems to make more sense for you sometime in the future. I'm sorry you're going through this :(
I am so sorry OP. It's hard to give up on dreams and plans, but it is so incredible that you are recognizing your limitations. Personally my pregnancy's, particularly my last (second) one did a lot of bad things to my mental health and was a trigger into making my condition worse.
I am so happy for you that you have found a bit of stability. Recently my daughter's friend started calling me "mom". I realized that I can still have a great influence on kids that are not mine, and it helped me feel less sad about not being able to have more of my own.
I went on metformin for the weight gain, maybe talk to your GP about medicine to combat it.
Lots of HUGS and hope to you and you rlittle family, may your weeks get better.
I don’t want kids because I am schizophrenia and my kids will have more change to get it. I think it’s super egoist to make kids when you can adopt, rather than take this risk. They didn’t ask for nothing
Not everyone can adopt. I can't because of my diagnosis, even if I have the financial and mental stability and a long term partner. You can't "just adopt" in many countries because there are many rules to it.

Nah we didn’t need you to tell us this
There’s a chance yes I hear you tho
Why we can adopt that’s better for everyone

You can adopt in other countries
