Sometimes, I have discovered, that the easiest way is not always the best way. And instead of hurling ourselves away from hard things, we should try to endure and eventually thrive past hard things.
I have come to this discovery by way of experiencing the hard things and then the reward that improves my self confidence by getting past it. My moment of realization was at church thing and I was a leader in a function that was very important. All of the sudden, during it I started to get exceedingly paranoid and also started hallucinating, but the thought that appeared in my head was this: sometimes hard things are required to thrive. So, I practiced my grounding techniques and it helped to an extent. At least enough where I could continue throughout the day.
I’ve accepted that my illness, as my dad said, is severe and not quenched by medications all the time. But, as is also the case, I believe we are more resilient after the trial, and the trial is more resilient the more time we succumb. I know everyone here knows this and do they’re best to overcome their trials, so in that, I say that this site of schizophrenics is what helps me a lot to find commonality with other people of my own illness. There is a bit of truth to strength amongst masses.
