AA says, “Don’t compare your insides to other peoples outsides.”
There ain’t nobody on earth who doesn’t have problems.
Be grateful. We may have schizophrenia but if you have running water, and you don’t go to bed hungry every night and you have a roof over your head and you are using your own computer then you are better off than a billion other people around the world.
You think you have the worst life and you think life is unfair? Hey, what about all the children around the world who are victims of war or orphaned or all the children exploited and sold into modern day slavery or victims of the sex trade? And a lot of them don’t live to see age nine. How fair were their short lives?
It’s all about perspective. How about the millions and millions of people who die of various diseases in certain countries around the world because they have no access to treatment, that in the U.S. can be easily prevented or treated by walking 10 minutes down the block to the pharmacy and buying a drug over the counter for ten bucks?
Life sucks for schizophrenics but how about our fellow schizophrenics around the world who are in refugee camps in some war torn country? How are their lives? How about schizophrenics who don’t have computers because they don’t have homes or food?
If you look at the big picture there are worse things than being schizophrenic.
