I think She Iz…??? I assume she iz a lady…out of 3 mods @Minnii @Rhubot were female …have doubt @Moonbeam…!!!
I wonder if this is an innocent question? Maybe?
Well, it is a schizophrenic forum, so everyone here is a suspect, right, Sun? Or am I wrong, and people here 100% A-Okay? What say you?
I doubt I get an answer, but I was just wondering because if she were at one time, and she has recovered, the she would understand what I was saying before when conversation was flowing, and questions were rising for me.
I’ll say it again. There are 3 kinds of us here: people before sz, people during sz looking for the way out, and people after sz who know it very well like every stone on the walls and the floors of a cave they’ve lived in for many years. I’m almost 20 years with sz, and I can tell someone about what’s behind every rock in this mind trap. If someone has never had sz, or people have never really done the work to get passed it, then they’re not in the know as one of the 3rd kind I mentioned above.
And last of all, do I have to say something lovy dovy or about hipster drugs, sex, and supernatural fantasies to be allowed here? I mean I’m a man, and I don’t come up short to the table as a man every in life. I’ve been an employer and manager in tough company where danger is our specialty Just because I have sz didn’t stop me from succeeding as a whole grain, well rounded American man. I don’t want to be prejudized here for my merit to help my community and country on my missoin to be a bread winner no matter what anyone’s sense of my worth is. I’ve tried all of my Christian life to see every kind of human being and animal through the lense that they deserve. I should be dealt as much to be fair, and if I seem brazen to some people that have never dealt with a man that survived sz and much other conundrums of life by the only possible way which was being mighty sharp and mighty manly…then if I seeem brazen for that, just try to see me through the lense that I deserve like sharp, manly men of our communities deserve, and if you really do not understand me, try not to throw blood all over my reputation because you do not understand me or why a guy would be in the sz forum.
I have worked very hard all of my young and adult life, and I have endured more hardships than most people. That’s not a hocus pocus dream. That’s a fact. It’s a respectable fact where I’m at.
I’m really only here to talk to people about sz’s constructs and what knowledge works for me. I like to ask questions about what other people believe and experience. Take me from the perspective that I’m coming from like some have asked of me becuase that’s what’s fair if that’s what you’re about.
I’ll say it again. I’m that 3rd kind of person as in post sz trial period. I do not believe in anything supernatural, and I fully understand how my mind works regardless of having sz. No, scratch that. I understand how my mind works most of all because I have had to live and figure out how to survive while being sz and solve and get beyond sz. I can have adult discussions with psychologist, and in fact after some time discovering the folk culture of this special, fragile forum, I will make rounds with psychologist and psych students in other forums to talk about what I know, and compare with their notes. Why? Because I have interesting things to say, and I bring perspective to every thinking platform, or I keep my mouth shut and my opinions to myself. I never bring hocus pocus haywire wads to an adult table.
LET’S LOOK FORWARD
I have always had the belief that the best weapon against sz is someone who is very smart and achieved enough to first be self respecting and to be respectable to the highest echelons of any society like Steve Nash, but with the ability to depict the workings of the sz engine so to speak. That means someone who is believable, capable, has an fluent understanding of the sz experience so much that he can trick it to work for him not against him, and he can talk about it very well.
By the way, respect does not mean liked necessarilty. One can respect an achieved adult without agreeing on things.

@Niceberg, please dial it back. I believe you mean well, but both the subject matter of your posts and the vehemence with which you express your thoughts have upset and agitated several members of our community.
This is a community, not a blogging site or a soapbox. When interacting with other members, please keep in mind that it is a conversation, not a contest. People are here looking for support and companionship, not necessarily challenge or instruction.
As this thread is a challenge, I’m going to close it. As stated in our community guidelines, we try to keep drama to a minimum here.

@Niceberg. No, I do not have schizophrenia. I have chronic MDD and GAD for the past ~30 years. I also have mild OCD. I initially came on this site last year because I have a friend who has schizophrenia, and I stayed on this site because it’s the best mental health forum I’ve come across, and the forum members are awesome. @SzAdmin and the other Mods are aware of this. I also mentioned this in posts when I first joined the forum.
@far_cry0. Yes, I am a female.
