Hi There,


As a Schizophrenic, what would you like people to know?

 

[Zoe1]

if you're patient with me
I might be able to work out what to say !

 

[LORD BURT]

That we are normal people going through an abnormal experience. We are not dangerous, but we are often lonely and stigmatised. We are human and we need human relationships as well.

Nicely put , excellent!

 

[Avolitionist]

Yes. What Lord Burt said.

 

[Ras]

mostly for people to actually educate themselves on what schizophrenia actually is. There is still so many misconceptions about schizophrenia out there that could easily be erased if people actually did some research

I’ve had 30 years of practice. Unless floridly psychotic I can hide it. People just think I have a bad stutter! Poverty of speech works in my favour, I tell workmates nothing. The less people know in my opinion, the better.

I think we are all familiar about knowing about what schizophrenia is and like on this sub forum...

[THE MANDALORIAN]

We are very cool and creative. And super chill. We love to laugh. Almost at anything.

We can go fishing and have a blast!

We appreciate the simple things in life. Like a good barbeque or specialty food truck.

We care about others feelings in all we do.

We work hard. We study hard. And we try our best to learn every day.

Life is about growth. We try to be in a great environment to grow every day.

Overall. We are very loyal. Very kind. But very well grounded. We are both humble and understanding.

We are not afraid to face the mental challenges. We understand that with time. We will conquer any limitations. That drives us to win.

We are really good people.

That I'm not dangerous, and I'm capable of love and compassion.

 

[Zoe1]

I am not a ' split personality '

My mother had it, but no children did, though I suspect we all got touched with something or other, there's been a lot of illness in my family. I've seen people be cruel, at least in their attitudes, towards schizophrenics or other mentally ill people. It sure is a hard condition to live with, or be around as family.
