You’re very negative. I don’t have time for negativity
I’m a positive person and every aspiration of mine you try to offer an alternative
I’m glad

yeah, I’ll come back to you to respond.
I’ve lived in low income housing for 7 years.
I saw a teenage girl I asked to watch my kids ask me write out the check to her mother,
and the mother the next day, blowing money, my money at a convenient store.
The teenage girl who worked for me, never saw a cent.
I’ve seen drugs, domestic violence, evictions, urine after poop stained clothes in the washer,
fights, 3 a.m. parties so loud you could swear they were in your room.
I’ve volunteered for over 10 years in homeless shelters, adoption centers, thrift shops and food delivery.
I’ve seen the worst of my disabled friends spend every dime they didn’t have on drugs at a thrift store, and then can’t take my call on their phone. I’ve stood holding a sign for money for a furniture company going out of business and right in front of me, a homeless guy in the traffic with his own sign. I’ve seen kids so filthy, I took them in, and the mother lost them, then went on to have more and more kids.
Get the f-k out of your illusions.
Lol balance my brother…snatch the pebble from my hand and you will know wisdom…dont try that im really fast…just ask for it…ill probably say no but its really your only shot at the pebble…lol what…im really happy today…
You’re not my mother…
Nor do you have the right to be so disrespectful
So stop acting like it…
I pray you find serenity
And I thought you were done with me…
We’d be doing us both a favor if we stopped responding to one another’s posts…
I already asked you to consider non profit
that makes the most sense.
I wanted a job once going to the rural poor,
and a second interview, but didn’t get the job because I don’t have the social services degree.
My daughter did it I think because she saw all my service to others,
I don’t want to brag,
but I helped all those kids in that low income housing unit,
but especially my own
who couldn’t run loose, absolutely no way.
and then 10 years in the community.
I’m trying to discourage at all,
sometimes you have to do it,
and other times you want to.
Well since non profit was my goal from the start
Working at a non profit mentally ill clubhouse
I’m not sure what you’re saying…
Just because I haven’t said "non profit " in big bold letters doesn’t mean that’s not my goal.
Stop being so provocative.
You don’t know me, nor do you know what I’m thinking.
Part of aa is helping people without a profit
But I don’t wish to stop there
I am a capable ambitious person who wants to get his education
Respect that
I do, Jon.
If I didn’t, I wouldn’t love my daughter.
I never drank, Jon. Never.
not til ptsd. not til voices.
You remind me of me.
My first out of college was working in a homeless day care center,
and I went livid that we didn’t have any kids!!!
I got fired.
The system is so broke.
Then I started working in factories, anything to pay the bills.
You have often often expressed a degree in writing or social work,
yes, ok. But do you really need it?
You can do anything without a degree, unless you’re looking for salary,
or an agency.
Do it. If you want to do, do it. Of course, do it.
Sorry, but schizophrenia is still the central fact of my life.
God bless, Jon.
I’m going out.
Didn’t mean to hijack your thread.
I could complain, but what would that accomplish? Complaining is an expenditure of energy and there are better uses to put said energy to. Like being awesome.
I have discovered that 1/4 of my problems stem from my illness and 3/4 of my problems stem from bad habits I developed as a result of my health issues. I spend more of my day trying to build positive new habits than I do coping with my health conditions.
Pixel.
My illness is generally under control with the meds as well. But the long course of the illness and the destruction it’s done to me socially, financially, vocationally and physically makes it a huge deal. it’s impossible to explain the shape I’m in without explaining the illness.
I sometimes pause and remember that most people with schizophrenia cannot live independently, much less do some of the things I do. I remember that most normal people cannot or at least will not and do not do some of the things I do. It is odd to be included in people who vary so much. I am at the far end of functioning, there is a polar opposite end…
Holy ■■■■ mr myagi…thats ■■■■■■■ perfect…lol wax on wax of bitches…lol
A favorite comment from a sz friend was the illness doesn’t define her just a part of who she is.
It’s a big deal for me. I’d give my left nut to be rid of this ■■■■
