I wasn’t really sure if I should write this post.  I thought some people would not like it or maybe find it insensitive, but I have been thinking about this from the beginning of everything happening in the world and shutting the world down because of a pandemic.   I see this all the time. Continue reading “linked…”

My psychiatrist said that I may never be the same person I was before my illness.  I don’t think in life anyone is the same person they were when they were around ten or fifteen years old.  I really don’t 100 percent know when my illness started, around fifteen I would say, it could haveContinue reading “changed yet forever unchanged…”

A lot of people do not know that I am very spiritual and I have been very spiritual since a young age.  I was extremely spiritual before my illness and I have kept that relationship with God as I have grown older. The relationship has grown stronger throughout my life, and just to tell you,Continue reading “spirituality”

I was not planning on posting this until I started to realize how greatly my mental health was being affected by everything that is going on. If you look at my previous comments and posts, you will know that I have said there are five basic items that have helped my mental health.  There areContinue reading “Five Main Things”

I wanted to post a little bit about what is going on in the world now.  It’s scary, yes.  It is unknown, yes.  It is overwhelming, yes.  However, I was telling someone the other day, this might actually bring the world a little bit closer, at least that is what I am hoping for. WithContinue reading “with everything going on in the world…”

One thing I have learned with mental illness, and with basically everything in life, is that there are so many different opinions on how to recover and live your life, and so many different avenues to take.  I’ve read many books on self help and they all have great advice, however those are all differentContinue reading “i may be right, but so are you”

However, the city that never sleeps may sleep, a few years ago I went for a run early in the morning in New York, and it was pretty quiet, maybe a few people walking, it was pretty early, but I think people were sleeping😊 Along with my schizophrenia, I have anxiety.  I have anxiety aroundContinue reading “my first trip to the city that never sleeps…”

I wanted to make this blog post a letter to my family. To my mom and dad, without your support I don’t think I would have made it through this.  That is why I always fight for everyone experiencing a mental illness to have support, whether natural or unnatural. I would not have attended one appointmentContinue reading “a letter to my family”

I speak openly about my mental illness, however because of the stigma people are scared to speak up, and I completely understand why.  When I tell people I have schizophrenia, they think I am this major crazy unstable insane person who can’t keep a sentence together, and right there in that moment they think IContinue reading “oh yes, I have schizophrenia”
