There's still a point to living if you wind up with psychosis
You'll always be you to you when you're in psychosis
I feel like I don't go in psychosis... I go to.

Being permanently mentally ill doesn't mean you'll be permanently unhappy
I like it when schizo spec people are treated equally
Mental health issues are bumps in the road... not the end of it.
One of the things that keeps me together is playing guitar. Almost all day. Every single day. Without it I'd feel lost and without purpose. It's the most therapeutic thing (aside from my meds) that I've encountered. Art of all kinds to me is soul soothing and heart healing. I don't own much but as long as I can buy strings for my guitars I'm happy. I've played through psychosis more times than I can count and it's always served as a really good distraction. I hope anyone who struggles with their mental health also finds something that makes life more worth living like music does for me
There'd be no mental health stigma if they knew what we went through
A great way to learn you don't want to be famous is by having a delusion that you're God
Mental illness may steal things. It may rob you.
But how often do people get to experience something different than most?
For the first six months of my relationship with my partner I was in psychosis (we already knew each other for years though). Today we are going on seven years together and things couldn't be better. No matter what anyone tells you... romance is a possibility if you're mentally ill or on the schizo spectrum. Becoming symptomatic can't stop the right person from seeing you for you.
Psych wards can be very damaging.
They inflict real trauma.
They don't give "time outs".
And you can't discipline someone into behaving how you want by locking them up in them.
