What are you scared of?

I am scared to do things because they exhaust me but I had fun building myself up.

I am still scared but the habits I have built up gives me confidence to put the fear aside.

I feel you on the broken part… I don’t always suffer from being unproductive but I’m trapped in a box. Even if I’m productive it can never really go anywhere because I’m in prison basically :unamused:

I dabbled with that stuff too. I am perfectly fine now. No permanent damage at all. I know myself better now. I still have faith and am more sure of myself and how to express myself to others. I gained wisdom and now can knock it because I tried it.

Going through this confirms my faith and I know what is unhealthy for my personal situation. What I dabbled in was not helping me. I know why I tried it now. I have overcome and now am more confident there is nothing I can’t overcome.

As a schizophrenic, I have found that I wished for a normal life, and still do. However, I have found schizophrenia made me a strong person, something to be valued.
