Embracing your illness

Maybe I should just be chill with being ■■■■■■ up in the head instead of obsessing and freaking out over it. My day consists of me thinking about how I’m different and how I think. Its unhealthy. Just be cool with being … Crazy… ?

I wish I could just be a chill person

Also since my thoughts are heard I need to think “cooler” ones

Be like flame cool as a fan or polar bear toenails…your already cool just gotta see it in ur head…

Do you write your symptoms down in preparation to see a psychiatrist? If you write things down, you might find you are relieving yourself of having these thoughts swirling around your head.

There’s definitely no point in obsessing or freaking out over your symptoms, but there’s also no point in avoiding treatment. Insurance. Doctor. Meds.

It’s only been recently that I’ve realized how much I am still my illness, even though I’m high functioning.

I hate the way that some people, including some siblings do not take me seriously. I feel that I am a normal person who have schizophrenia. I like to think that I can act and reason like normal people. Delusions and paranoia does not define who I am. Sz is a debilitating illness but I’m worthy to be treated like a human being. I do have some difficulty to embrace the illness.

i was used to be like that for years and its only made me worse stillhavehope :(… dont tourmente yourself with this, try to focus on some another things. yes, I dont forget my trt, I count on it relatively but too much persons told me that I am not normal and I want to show them something more now… and to be in peace with myself also… my mom kept saying me for years that I am ■■■■■■ up in my head, it wasn’t nice from her…

I am in the exact same boat. The past 6 years have been such a roller-coaster ride for me, its a constant battle between accepting my limits and taking the appropriate risks/putting in the genuine effort to try and succeed. I’ve also learned to be a bit more compassionate with myself. I guess that kind of maturity comes with experience.
