I had come to a conclusion which is the only possible reason I have schizophrenia.
To escape from reality is what I found a way out.
Even now my thoughts incline to escape from difficult situations.
Is this true to all or it’s just me ?

Reality is the world as humans interpret it. You can make a theory about conflict with reality, but dorsn’t change anything. It is what it is, irrespective of how you think about it.

I dont know if its true for all or just you, but i think it applies to me as well. Also ive noticed in literature that characters often go mad to escape reality, like the soul asylum song… ‘a little out of touch a little insane, just easier than dealing with the pain…’

There is no real escape. I believe this.

No, I don’t believe I have it to escape reality. I believe it’s a disease or condition I have irrespective if I face reality or not. In other words I don’t believe schizophrenia exists solely in order for me to escape reality. Schizophrenia is a medical condition, it doesn’t exist in order to help someone escape reality though it’s a medical condition that does this.

I feel to escape for hard time I took alcohol 
in young age. Which resulted in this. IMO
What ? these are the things to escape from reality.
Then what is reality ?
What do you guys think- what is reality ?
I can’t relate to this, sorry. SZ is a medical condition and it is a manageable one. That’s all it is for me. Nothing profound. If it makes me special, it’s only in the sense that it makes me special needs.

There’s interesting things about it philosophically. Some schizos are not so disabled. Reality is fundamentally based in mind/ brain, so it is an important issue. It is a disease of the brain, but it is reflection of our brains and how our minds work in not working

It’s an area I think about. Too much emphasis is about schizo and reality. Someone with delusion is confused and wrong but it’s not out of reality. I think reality is the exact experience a person has, not what everyone can agree is true or has to be true. That there is duality between your experience of reality of work in that it is not the same and in conflict is really about realists not acknowledging what is real for you as real or reality: schizophrenia. That doesn’t mean it is true, but real.
