Mild Schitzophrenia (hearing voices)
G'day How ya doing? I wasn't born with my mental health issue - infact mine was stressed induced.
I was diaganosed back in 1999, after a an encounter where I got really angry, and ended up hitting my father, after losing my job and I returned home. Forced away from our rural property I ended up in physc ward, and the first thing they did was throw me into a padded sell. I was told I wouldn't be let out until I took my meds, which I did and I then got processed. Eventually privelaages were given to me and i got so wel they let me leave the premisses under a curfew. Time goes on and I go back home. The medication stop me from peaking really happy to really sad, and I did really well. The medication I was on had a side effect of always making me feel hungry so I piled on the weight. I change medication, and it was much better. Before I go on I want (You) the reader to know the difference between Mild Schitzophrenia, and Paranoid Schitzophrenia. Mild Schitzophrenia, you hear voices in you head but don't actually do what they say, Where as Paranoid Schitzophrenia, usually act out on the voices, and are the ones you hear about on the news (ie stabbing, and other cruel things)
Not giving you my whole life story but, I've endured the death of my twin sisters who drowned together, when washed out to sea bu a freak wave, when they were 23 - I was 19 when that happend. I had to deal with the death of my mother, as well as a near death experience, As well as dealing with suicides of people I've known. I'm a person who loves a routine, I have hobbies, I socialize with my friends and still great mates with my dad ever since I moved out, and found out lets for my anger.
Life could be better but could also be alot worse. If there's something that I can tell (You) the reader, It's "Remeber no matter how low or bad you are feeling, There's always someone somewhere with a lot more horrible life than yours" I could go for ages but I'll stop here.
Great to meet you, and thanks for reading ![]()
