This forum is good medicine

What I love about this forum is we’re all in the same boat.
I can’t keep up with it a lot, and get very paranoid emotional and anxious. I believe we’re all lovely and despite our suffering what ever it maybe, we’re all ok. We’re alive, and this forum is a lifeline. It’s good medicine to talk to one another.
Speak the truth and go easy on one another. Remember we’re all in pain mentally, even the moderators are going through rough waters.

Be authentic and keep it real. And support each other when we’re down. Pick one another up and stand side by side. Woke up early today and feel afresh, and after reading some posts it upset me.
Don’t let the battle in the mind take over.
Schizophrenia doesn’t make us idiots, far from it. Just google some geniuses who had schizophrenia, and keep pushing yourself day by day.
Today I love everyone, and choose not to wallow in my infirmities. Today I choose life.

I discovered from this forum that schizophrenics are not different than neurotypicals … lots of diverse opinions and we are very different from each other.
having a lot of cultural and intellectual diversity

I appreciate it. I feel its a safe place for me. I read more than I post.
But every post I read I try to see how I can learn and help myself.
It’’s the only place I can be my true myself.
And be social as I an IRL am severely asocial.

This forum has been very good to my personal life. I like to pay back which is why I agreed to help with moderation. It really is a nice crowd with some cool peeps and we look after our own here…even well before serious moderation. I’ve been here that long!

Thanks @lovesong . It’s a lot of work but it’s a kind community. Wouldn’t do it if it wasn’t worth the effort. I like to say that together we make our worlds…That is enough if your being kind and understanding to your fellow members.

Daily group therapy does sound funny :laughing:
But it’s true! We are! And we support each other and care for one another too.
I understand, every day is a battle for us but we will get through it. Little by little, step by step x

Its not the forum which is great but the community. And when i say community i mean that were able to socialize with others. Without this forum a lot of us wouldnt talk with anyone.

Its a substitute for a real life connection ,which we all miss and want and need but were afraid of.

Would i give this forum for something real? Absolutely. But so far its a good place to be, a susbstitute

Your spot on. It’s a community and a place where all of us should be able to be ourselves.

I’m fairly new I’ve only been here about 11-12 days I think? I’m stopping at my mum n dads and it’s helping me. I live in Manchester and when I go home I’ll stay with this beautiful community.

Today I’m filled with love and hope. I hope other’s express themselves too when feeling good.

But yeah I know I’ll crash, but I just want to live in the moment. And when I can express myself I’m going for it !!

Have a good day, and thanks for your reply. It’s straight up to the point xxx
