Living with schizophrenia
I have schizophrenia which means I find it hard to process some information. I listen very carefully to noises around me and it is very easy to disrupt my thoughts. I find that I have negative thoughts when there is a lot going on around me and I end up feeling anxious. I ask myself why am I thinking this and this helps stop me feel this way.
I crave human contact. I am having trouble understanding why I should leave the safety of my room. I know that the only way to feel better is by going outside. I need to practice more to be socially confident. I lost a lot of connections with people. I have a small circle of friends. I have the goal that I need to build up my resilience in order to support myself and be more successful.
I like the idea of leading a better life.
