Hi. I am doing well now. I used to be very delusional, agitated and heard voices. Now, I am on the right meds and cooperate with doctors. I used to think aliens wanted to study my mind because of my sexual dysfunction. I thought they abducted me to study me and I heard voices of evil aliens and demons putting me down and telling me to do bad things. I got into a couple of fights when I was delusional and I lived in a psychiatric boarding home for nine years. I used to be paranoid about the way I looked - I had strange expressions and a crazy, sexual stare - and was very self-conscious of them in social situations. I couldn’t go out for a long time and would only get out if I had to. Now, I still believe in aliens but I don’t think they’re out to get me. I still get paranoid on buses but just shrug off the delusions because as long as someone doesn’t threaten me why should I care what strangers think? I don’t feel as depressed and don’t pace the way I used to or listen to music all day. And mainly because of Seroquel and Trazedone I don’t hear voices anymore. The sooner the sz person faces up to their problems the better their chances of getting well by taking medications and therapy. I think sz people get agitated because deep down they’re scared. I try to fight the stigma of sz with my books that I’ve had published, too.
