I think it would be a liar. Someone who just constantly lied to you to make you think you were constantly in danger as well as all this other weird stuff. A manipulative and talented one at that.

I would give her/him all the credit in the world. The schizophrenia is logical. I don’t think we give ourselves enough credit. Maybe it’s because I believe in the paranoia, but I think we are wise in thinking we are in danger at times. Meanwhile people who aren’t paranoid are the ones living in their fantasy world. They don’t worry enough if they don’t have paranoid thinking. But the delusions make him or her seem like a schemer so maybe it’d be like a coke dealer. Well the only coke dealer I’ve ever met. I’ve never done coke but I’ve met coke dealers and they’re logical, scheming, intelligent, sociopaths. Yeah they try to trick you.

it would be a wee meercat always on the look out for danger and invisible enemies.

“What have you done with my head? Put it back.” Schizophrenia would always be just a little out of reach.

Honestly…if schizophrenia were a person…what an interesting one…since experiences make up a person, and all of the people with schizophrenia share many experiences. If Schizophrenia was personified in a single individual of all the collective experiences…I’d wonder what this person would be like. Would they appear normal or crazy to me? Maybe they’d be searching or maybe they’d be brilliant. I’d ask schizophrenia if he/she chose their name…and I’d try to help them. I see schizophrenia as an illness of loss, disconnection, and a lot of suffering from confusion. Doesn’t the world need a little disconnection and confusion? Shouldn’t we be able to take the pieces out of the jigsaw puzzle so that we can put them back together? Maybe schizophrenia is more normal and natural to evolution and humanity than we realize.

I learned a lot from it. I learned how difficult it can be to adapt to social structures if you aren’t hard-wired for them or given the right education and life skills. Crazy people …the more I pray to God the more I feel he sends help and healing our way.

If you met schizophrenia and embraced him, and he embraced you, then maybe neither of you would be crazy afterall. What’s separate is not eternally disconnected. There are things that fall away and things that fall into place. Everything is always changing. The Enigma is that no one would know Schizophrenia if it was a single person because Schizophrenia is subjectively defined.

this doesn’t make sense to me somehow i’m afraid, i think if my head started as a jigsaw puzzle that was complete then schizophrenia would have changed the picture and also the pieces would not fit properly anymore, like if it was a bright coloured jigsaw puzzle then i think sz would have changed it to a darker colour and then when i take medication it is not as dark and the pieces are held together a bit firmer.

schizophrenia to me is not very nice, its not something i would want to make friends with, i mean i think i just want it to go away bc i think that it is a bad thing full of negative symptoms that we need to control.

i just had a thought about schizophrenia- it is our enemy and we need to make it in to a footstool for our feet- idk where i heard that but it makes sense.
