I think I’m tough as hell because of all that’s happened to me but I also cry multiple times a day. I don’t think crying is a sign of weakness though.

I always laugh when I hear someone say they’re scared of something that’s not real or just not scary. I feel strong that I see and hear things that would terrify most people, and I live with them… I used to be scared and I wasn’t as strong as I am now, but I had it in me to be strong…

Most people living with a severe mental illness like schizophrenia are tough as nails.
But there are exceptions.
For the most part, yes.

the illness eats away at our willpower in a subtle yet complete way. many of the symptoms are subtractive taking away from our motivation and vitality. in a way sapping us of our very force of living. we are less assertive as a result of this, less socially involved and less capable of volition. there are plenty of tough people living in te gutter, at the literal bottom of society. the difference lies in ones capacity to focus on what is important and then work productively (volition). in an advanced and advancing world this is what separates the winner from the loser.
basically, the symptom cluster of avolition which is quite prevalent among us (very few of us are in the workforce) stops us from being competitive in life. you can be tough and still not be successful in life, in other words that toughness is never exercised or called upon throughout the lifespan. whereas in normal healthy active working people it is exercised.

My son wasn’t very tough. He couldn’t handle his sz. He took his own life.

We are some of the strongest people in the world. We just have to realize it. Once you realize the nature of schizophrenia, you will have power over it instead it having power over you.

Its an eCNNeryday struggle.ud say im both weak and strong in certain wasys
I think some people will let schizophrenia get the best of them but many will overcome and recover from the trauma and develop strength or resilience as a result. I feel people like me more now since I’m nicer than I used to be… It’s all about refusing to “give in” to the illness and doing exercises to keep mood high and ignoring painful moments, for me.
