Schizophrenia for me is a mixed bag. The meds make me weaker but the illness itself has made me stronger. Among other things. I would say it is like a bag of skittles with the flavors I like and the flavors I don’t like.

For me its a lifesentence of loneliness, noone hears what i hear. I am alone with my hallucinations. Not much longer, nearly there.

Schizophrenia is a lot like a book I read by William Blake called Urizon. I have not read much of Phillip k Dick but I’ve heard stories of his drug induced psychosis.

It is like having a special power that is useless or a detriment.

Lacks of feelings and lack o socializing. A ife by self. I have no voicec to talk to thanks God, but there’s no one to talk to, just here expressing my existence. are moments when I can not fall asleep and meds, makes me go numb and my muscle very tense, hence more meds needed. Totally sucks. It is a prison of the mind and meds, where all the energy was taken away by pills.

sometimes I see schizophrenia as a reminder that Im human and have limits. Im doing better often because I work hard on mental wellness. But its exhausting; when my demons are gone I feel lonely. I think fighting them sort of empowered me because I learned coping skills, tactics to strengthen me—but it also weakened me because something about copesetic hours wasted on needless suffering without a cure.
