I have to laugh out loud, and it’s good to laugh since I am typically so serious! I put on the forum these poems I wrote a few years before I was diagnosed about 20 years ago. From what I have been reading a positive symptom is disorganized speech. I think that’s what they are, but I wanted to test drive them. Thank you for responding or should I say not responding, ha ha. I also wrote a book, again disorganized speech, but it was for my healing, since I think (though I may be wrong) that I slipped to Schizophrenia from a traumatic experience I had at age 6. There are no Schizophrenics in my family history. I am the only one. My father was murdered at age 6, and I heard about the robberies down our street at Christmas time in 1968 on the TV. When I asked my mother if we were going to get robbed, she dismissed the words, and just hours later, we were robbed, and my father murdered. I had an argument with my father right before I left the convenient store we owned to go home for the night, and that is the last time I saw him. By the way, I am seeking therapy, so I am aware of the tragedy but have the added onslaught of Schizophrenia to boot. Thank you for the opportunity to express myself on the forum, it has helped tremendously, Have a Good Day, best to all. I have been blessed despite unfortunate circumstances, thus the name, blessed1.
The forum’s really quiet right now, so I wouldn’t worry.
That’s terrible and I’m sorry it happened to you.
I wouldn’t worry about the volume of likes or comments on your poems, they were good anyway, even if you think they were disorganized speech
Thank you! I consider you and Minnii the mothers of the forum, protective, supportive, and ever so thoughtful, from all that I have read. I really appreciate you and your comments.
Thank you Minnii! Like I said, I consider you a mother of the forum with all your thoughts and responses, so supportive and kind. You say valuable things that really make a difference. I know, it was sad what happened. I feel like I just completed the grief process at my age recently. So it was traumatic, but I am like everhopeful, positive (as I can be, you know how it is at times).
