go right ahead 
I would still rather have a healthy brain but I guess there are a few good things that have come of it.
Now that I’m ugly from putting on so much weight I respect my husband a lot more for staying with me. Before my illness I was beautiful and if he continued to treat me badly I would have probably ended up having an affair if I had the chance. He still treats me badly now but at least he hasn’t left me.
I think I am less sensitive than I used to be and I don’t overreact.
I find it hard to cry which I guess I find hard at times but atleadt I avoid any embarrassing moments in public.
I appreciate the little things in life more
I appreciate my children
When things look more beautiful to me than to others. Colors are so bright they hurt my eyes and everything’s moving and sparkling… no drugs required.
And seeing angels is a good experience for me, generally. I like seeing other people’s angels and painting them. They’ve really moved/touched some and that makes me feel like I have a purpose.

The delusions where you absolutely believe it’s true, a normal life is boring

The delusions! I’m schizoaffective so when I’m manic and schizophrenic, I’m double delusional. But it’s always beautiful and religious and important and full of elation and wonder. The voices become the voice of god or aliens or something amazing and i feel connected and the other symptoms become not only tolerable, but beautiful and significant beyond belief. And then the depressive phase sets in…and it all collapses into itself and the symptoms become excruciating torture. And then i usually get back on the meds that i stopped taking while coming up on mania. Where I’m at now, in fact. Oh, but i miss it everyday.

This Sz disease is the most debilitating on earth. This is the dumbest question.

I am amazed at how complicated my mind can get and the instant recall of the past events (even if I don’t always remember them correctly because my hallucinations confuse what was and was not said) remind me that even with the worst of hate there is love even though in the best of love there is hate or at least dislike sometimes. It helps me to understand the bad things about life better.
I dunno. I have friends with depression. I would never want to be in their shoes. Being crazy I can handle. I don’t know how I would work through feeling nothing and having no desire to keep living.
I am kind of jealous that their disease is socially acceptable, but I wouldn’t trade for anything.
yea i would have to agree with you there @NiceHat
Being (overly) creative, it’ll earn my living one day. I hope.

I love everything about it. I can’t get enough. I love the pain. the delusions. the torture, the hospitals, being strapped to a table, losing my mind, constant paranoia.the medication. Hell, give me more I say. I can’t get enough of this stuff. My life is too easy, I need more sh*t piled on.

I also love the constant agony. I love coming across as a zombie to people; it really helps me make friends. And like you, I can’t get enough of the paranoid thoughts, they always are so comforting.
