Here’s a link to a relatively new company, started by a schizophrenic lady! She makes stigma-busting t-shirts and prints. Her point is to start a conversation about this.
She talks fast, fyi, she reminds me of me when I’m half manic and very chatty lol.
Here’s her website:
I like the backstory behind “don’t be paranoid, you look great” line and I kind of want to get a bracelet that says that.
Cheers to schizophrenics making a living, and double cheers to those making a living while trying to make a change in the world!
EDIT: a portion of profits go to homeless schizophrenics in New York!
She reflects pretty well how I picture most people makin a living in New York… fast, enterprising, and with a tinge of dubious optimism. Not that I’d know, ofcourse.
I think the tag-line is wrong. I don’t think most Sz types are worried about not looking great…more worried about fitting in to mainstream society I would say.
yeah it’s what I thought at first as well… I imagine it is a bit of a compromise to make paranoid thoughts relatable to a wider audience. I like the main idea of the Rorschach though.
My wife got me a shirt for my birthday. It says “I do what the voices in my wife’s head tell me to do.”. I am not sure where she got it from. I wore it to school and everyone thought it was funny. Don’t think they knew the jokes on me though.
