Hi guys, how are you doing?

We’ve had a few visitors and some interest in our apartment, hopefully we’re going to sell it soon but a big change in my life always triggers separation symptoms, I’m thinking of moving out on my own if we sell this place but it’s not in my heart.

Other than that, I’ve been working a lot, I feel overwhelmed sometimes by the amount of work I have to do managing this illness.

I’m gonna go for a long walk in the sun.

Do you love baby pictures? I love my friend’s kids from afar, I am nice, I hug them and buy them gifts but is it the medication side effect that makes me afraid of the kids. My cousin had a baby boy and they sent me pictures but I don’t feel anything, I feel awkward around babies.

Once the baby is in your arms, it’s like a little heart beating outside of your own chest.

You are now totally responsible for another human being. It’s both overwhelming and thrilling at the same time!

I can not take of myself, imagine a tiny human.

The power of Motherhood can astound you…no deeper bond in Nature.

Considering what I went through during psychosis, and PTSD that I live with. no way. It’s gonna take a miracle for me to have a change of heart.

I think you’d make a great Mom.

You’re caring, empathetic, creative, intelligent, thoughtful.

And you’d be surprised how fast those Motherly instincts kick in once baby is on the scene.

Thank you, maybe you’re right. Living with intrusive thoughts did a big damage. What if I pass my genes to this tiny human. I can not do that to a person.

I’m Schizophrenic and my wife is Bipolar…and we have two normal, thriving teenagers.

My quote on Parenthood?

“Long days. Fast years.”

(I came up with that one when I was psychotic, and wrote it down)
