Weakness doesnt bring sz, its the opposite, sz brings weakness.

Arrogance… mixed with a broken heart.

I’m saying everyone has a weakness, right. And if someone picks on you about that weakness, it can become too influential and lead to sz.

I don’t see how being picked about a weakness can lead to sz, maybe an eating disorder but sz is pretty extreme.

Pride kept me from applying myself - too proud to risk making a mistake. The guilt of not working built up until a psychosis completely shattered my mind.

You got psychosis from not working?

Yes. The guilt I felt froze my mind.

Mainly a lack of communication with others.

Weakness doesn’t cause SZ. Please stop perpetuating this.

I’m not saying people are weak. I’m saying we have a weakness amidst other good qualities.

Yeah, weakness doesn’t lead to Sz. You keep listing things in the past that you think caused your sz that are not related at all to you developing sz. Last week you thought it was dry sex. It’s none of those things.

Do you have a theory of your own?

Not specifically but it has something to do with the development of the brain and then triggers in life that set off the sz. Exposure to lead paint has been entertained as a possible cause. Some kind of damage to the brain during development, like a virus, is a popular theory I think. Then there is also genetics which I subscribe to. I personally was always weird. I think I always had some issues even before I was diagnosed with sz.

I personally think genetics plays a major role.

Genetics is saying it was in your parents isn’t it?

Yes, but they may have not had the right combination of genes to have it come out in them.

I’m saying if you want to stigmatize SZs further, keep going.

I’m sorry you are such a perfectionist that you can’t confess a single weakness. You must be very hard to live with.
