I dont need to do drugs to hallucinate. Seriously didnt know it was that popular to try to induce hallucinations via shrooms/drugs (a bit insulting at the same time but no judgments)

All I can say about it is, it was meant to happen for me.
I think everything has a snowball effect.
I could have been doing this or that if I didnāt have schizophreniaā¦.
BUT, I wouldnāt be living my current life.
Im pretty content.
(Now if only I could figure out how to slow down that darn thing we call time)
The good thing is I survived itā¦ so far.

the love , the support from the others
anyone and everyone say to me not to hurt yourself if i think to hurt myself!
i always call for support if i need support
i always keep myself surrounded by others to protect me , to help me , to keep going in life
so this is what is good in scz in fact ā¦not everything is bad in fact
my past sufferings I offer it all up to the universe
if I never had sz I would have never had a good reason to write a bookā¦I got my book out of my sz, and that is the only good I see that came out of me getting sz.

I guess life is never boring with sz. Not for me anyway. Paranoia, voices, mood, anxiety, state psychiatric facilities, psych wards, clinics, therapy, medsā¦! Itās a ā ā ā ā ā ā ā lot. I wouldnāt wish it on anybody.

No one gives you the sympathy card compared to other illnesses, this could be considered a positive depending whether you like sympathy or not.

Finely tuned senses and expert observational skills so I can detect when people are complicit against me

Schizophrenia has forced me to learn how to be resilient; it has forced me to learn how to adapt, withstand, and quickly recover from difficulties.
I still have symptoms, but Iām better at adjusting my sails: I know when to turn the boat around and go back to safety; I know when to find a cove when the hurricane comes; and I know when to put up sail and relax when the weather is nice.

Upgrades. If you do it right. Also american freedom.
Life is like a lot of stuff you buy in the store. The stuff in the store is all batteries not included. Life is happiness not included. If you want it, you gotta go out and get it.
Iāll have you know my Roku came with batteries in the remote.
