I want to see if there are successful people with their illness. I think people with mental illness generally get a bad rep for being failures. I view myself as successful I just need to find a nursing job while completing my master’s.

It is very difficult to be successful if you have a low level of energy.

I am sorry to hear that.
I think I am officially considered as a typical example of failure. I am not of this world and I never was. I don’t meet standards of general population
I’m doing masters but I’m struggling with writing my thesis. I’m super lazy these days. I learn guitar and dance. They’re one of things I like.
I am sorry to hear that. Maybe start an activity?
That’s great. What is your master’s in?
Not interested in human world. I prefer my spiritual abode in my mind. Too absorbed in my mind. You, my friend? You’re doing fine?
Yeah I’m doing fine just have some struggles but I am trying.

I consider staying out of the hospital a success.
Someday, I hope to have a career. I’m thinking 2-3 years from now if all goes well. It’s all about momentum. Small steps.

Yeah it’s good to do small steps at a time.
I study psychology. I felt attracted to this subject in the course of finding myself. But these days I’m losing interest. I think I’m not a gifted person.
Anyone who has a masters degree has to have some sort of gift. Maybe intelligence?
If I had to pick a social science, I would pick economics.
It’s pretty cool that you’re doing a Master’s.
I took some courses of economics and I found it uninteresting. It’s just not mine. I think every field requires different skills. And I wasn’t really good at economics and other areas.
There are many unintelligent people around me. I see them oftentimes. They are above average but not geniuses. And I’m the same 
I view myself above average. My IQ that was tested when I was a child was around 117.
That’s great. I’m sure that there are many people who have good IQ among schizophrenics, if there is a correlation between them.
Yeah I wonder if there is a correlation between IQ and schizophrenia.
