With my visions, I wouldn’t paint angels. That’s been a big positive for me and for some other people too…

Thank you! I am an artist, @far_cry0. I wanted to be a book illustrator and started going to an art university for that when I was 20, but I became frantically self destructive and had to drop out… I never went back. But I often paint what I see, and sometimes my angels are meaningful to other people. I feel that some of my paintings have a purpose, so that’s a positive.

Without my visions… I wouldn’t paint angels if I didn’t see them, is what I meant to say.

You’re so talented @Hedgehog. I feel like I’m probably borderline creepy with the amount I compliment you but I really admire you, you’re a big role model to me.

Thank goodness, I was worried! I don’t mean to be creepy at all. I do mean it, you’re an inspiration to me.

I struggle, @anon84763962. I wish I could really feel like an inspiration, but your comments are uplifting to me, which makes you the inspiration! God bless you

I think a real positive of having schizophrenia is that I found this message board and met some really wonderful people.
Sometimes I “hallucinate” very nice things like rabbits at work. It can be really calming.

“Schizophrenia is the flaw that is woven into the fabric of a child’s life. It is the sudden wound in the mind’s secret body, the hemorrhage of meaning disguised as wisdom. It is the clever voice, singing lies. It is the illness of the imagination, beyond imagination; beyond the comfort of memory, beyond the reach of human tenderness and the hope of safety. It is the illness that conspires against love. It is the illness that forces what is intimate and what is alien into strange unions. It is the illness that comes and goes on a tide of chemistry and in its wake leaves a violent sorrow and a longing for the pleasures of darkness. Tomorrow may bring the answers that escaped in the past, the answers that lead to cause and cure. In the meantime, madness is among us and diminishes to the extent that we care for those who endure it.”
In Search of Madness
R. Walter Heinrichs
This is positive for me because of the message at the end. There are people who really do care for me, and it makes me not want to give up again.

It’s actually great prose, isn’t it @Hedgehog? For a book of its kind certainly. I recommend it to you. It did come out about 15 years ago, but its really amazing in the research it covers, as well as some of the profiles and theories of some of the most active in the field. If you’d like a copy they are really affordable (used & hardcover) I think I paid under 2 dollars.

@Hedgehog Beautiful Angels! You have a wonderful talent 
My positive is that because of my nutty delusion, I have hope in humanity. Hope that the world can get along and that people can be kind to each other. We’ll see. I will maintain hope.
