Hello All,
I'm Mike, 27 and live in Greater London. I was first diagnosed with Paranoid Schizophrenia Pyschosis when I was 18.5 years old, although had suffered dellusions since childhood (in hindsight).
I had a pretty rough time in my teenage years and growing up, including drug problems and a nervous breakdown. I believe now, that I was never going to escape this illness/disease, due to my genes largely, and partially to my upbringing and drug taking.
Nowadays I habitually self medicate and even have a job, potentially a career. I have a loving, lovely girlfriend with whom I live with, and she helps to make me 'normal'. Whatever that is! Essentially I'm happy, but I feel I will never be normal, no matter how much I try.
