Sometimes I’m proud

Of having this illness.

Isn’t that odd?

I guess I feel it kind of makes me different than everyone else, cause let’s face it- there’s nothing really unique about me except my SZ…

I don’t talk about my illness all the time, but mostly everyone knows I have it and I’m cool with it.

That’s a good thing.

But from only reading your posts. I find you a very unique genuine person who is a good mother and working hard to get through life and its circumstances and still shine bright and see positivity.

I admire that about seeing and reading your posts.

For me oddly. My persistent delusions prevent me from wanting to be like everyone else or normal I guess.

That means a lot @Kxev thanks for the kind words.

Hmm… I’m sorry to hear you still have delusions… from my experience of interacting with you though you seem to manage them well!

It’s funny you say that. I used to feel that way too. I’m not sure why.

Now, I’m not proud to have it anymore, but I am proud of the way I’ve handled it.

Maybe that’s a better way of putting it… :slightly_smiling_face:

Idk, maybe it’s an age thing too? Who knows

Yea I mean I’m not exactly over the moon about psychosis lol.

But since I got it, might aswell be proud of who I am. Psychosis is part of me.

I can relate. It takes a certain type of courage too face such a debilitating illness. I think we are resilient and you have the right to feel proud of yourself! So, I’m proud of you too!

I’m not proud of having a mental illness, but I’m so proud of how I looked for help, I’m proud of never stopping medication, even when I was having awful side effects. I’m proud of how hard I worked, even being psychotic and unstable and how I got disability benefits after stop working. And proud of finally finding stability after being hospitalized and after trying almost all the antipsychotics available. And I’m also proud of going through a divorce without having a relapse.
