Could you elaborate on that @everhopeful? I agree with what you say and it resonates strongly with me - just curious if any situations have caused you to have this view?
Like for instance I was turned away from hospital when I was completely psychotic and suicidal. I was living in a dream world and getting worse. I only survived because I upped my meds on my own. That got me through and bought me back to reality enough where I could arrange a meeting with my psychiatrist. But I feel I survived because of luck rather than anything else.

To listen to ur parents next time xD
It taught me that under the right circumstances I’m a monster. I thought I was a good person, but after being convinced by the voices that everyone in the world was trying to kill me, that out of fear and cowardice, I was capable of making horrifying decisions. I never acted out in the real world on any of the decisions, it was pretty much all hypothetical, but I discovered that at the core, because of my selfishness and cowardice I am capable of making decisions that are truly terrifying. For some weird reason my psychologist thinks I’m brave in how I have dealt with schizophrenia, but all I see is a coward.
