My family said I was ‘bulletproof’ in my belief system when I was psychotic. But still, try to remember this advice.
And feel free to add your own tips.
My doctors told me I’d make a great mentor for younger people with schizophrenia because of my life experience…etc.
I was diagnosed Sz at the age of 39. But my own mental health and my family are my priorities.
Perhaps later in life I’ll try to give back more to the MI community.
I always feel it is about me. I know it’s not. But it’s just cos I’m still in a healing process so I have to make it a lot about me, naturally.
What is wrong with trying to be a hero?

I’ve been in darkness for thirty years. I lost my light due to mania and psychosis. Do you think I can ever get it back?
That’s a trap I set for you because I can never get my light back. I will feel my way along the dark and dank caves forever. I guess it’s punishment for being a cheater.
Additional advice: Never order the house dressing.
