I pride myself on my objectivity. Most things that are true are only true in a certain range of circumstances. During the Cold War I was adamant that we rebuild our military, but I am not nearly as concerned about Russia now. - I hate street drugs, but I think that we could solve a lot of the problems drugs create if we legalized them.
By some fluke of nature, the SZ hasn’t effected my motor skills, or caused a total lack of motivation. I get a ton of voices and see stuff that isn’t there. I also get delusions, that people are plotting against me, so I know that my sense of reality is screwed up. Thanks to meds, this isn’t so bad, though I’m not happy with side effects.
I have a lot of hobbies that I can do at a high level. I can work a lot of software. I can trouble shoot a bit when strange problems occur with my computer. I know when to call for help with my computer. In fact, I know how to get a computer running and install software and drivers, and attach the printer (and also replace the cartridges). I can put together furniture, even the ones that said two people should do it.
I wrote a novel that’s almost 100,000 words long. Oh, and I remember the day I got my first mobile phone to ‘talk’ with the wireless modem, so I can surf on my phone. ![]()
But, there are things I can’t do in busy noisy environments. I can hold myself together for a few weeks, but then I start making mistakes on jobs that a trained monkey could do. Anxiety seems to turn my concentration to dust. People will call me stupid for these mistakes. I’m proud that I no longer believe that I’m stupid. I’m proud that I’m smart in many ways.

Never imagined he’d be who he is today.
I’m proud of myself for having a child even though I have schizophrenia… and was absolutely terrified of the idea of being pregnant and giving birth.
