Sometimes I get a bothering, troublesome thought

I feel like I’m getting away with something just because I’m able to work. It’s like I feel that I am scamming people because I can take classes, work, and drive all over. Does anyone else think this about themselves? Maybe it’s survivors guilt.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that. Someone posted something about that a couple of months ago.

i can’t do anything like that and I feel like a scam artist.

Some days I think maybe I’ve never had an actual hallucination. Like maybe I imagined it all to get attention or something.

I feel guilty sometimes when I see homeless people talking to themselves.

Yes I feel this too although I am not coping with work very well at the moment.

I work.I drive. And no, I don’t feel like I’m scamming anybody. For without my meds, I’d be shaking my fist at the satellite cameras in the sky and throwing rocks at outdoor drive-in movie screens.

(Two things I’ve done in the past)
