Someone offered me to drink some tea with a very potent drug together, one that didn’t sound fun at all, I was too scared so I declined, heaven knows what would have happened if actually did it.

I had a nervous breakdown. It was the only way I knew to break away from the way I was living.

  1. Not getting married and having kids.

I was diagnosed at 39. I would have ended up a useless husband and father. I know that’s not the case for everyone with schizophrenia, but it would have been for me.

  1. Going to AA

I thought alcohol was worth dying for when I first went. I was desperate and got lucky as they helped.

  1. Going to the psych ward voluntarily for my 2nd admission.

Maybe not smart, per se … but having my daughter. Couldn’t imagine life without her.

Besides that…. Going to volunteer in Kenya for 3 months right out of high school. Could never manage to do something like that now

It’s not that I’ve done smart things so much as I have stopped doing dumb things.

Most of them.

Smartest thing, and hardest, was moving out of my parents’ house and going 5000 miles away…it forced me to learn how to be independent and learn how to better appreciate the things they do (and did) to help me.
