schizophrenia

What's it like to have schizophrenia I hear you say? It actually varies, sometimes the experience is frightening but otherwise it can be brilliant. I have musical hallucinations and archangel voices typically being very chatty or just encouraging.

I do not subscribe to the Freudian view of childhood trauma causes every problem and causes a broken mind as an affliction. I'm more fond of the Jungian school of thought that trauma or genetics makes some people more tuned in to the cosmos and able to be on a chatter frequency. Like a glitched radio. 

So it's not so bad except for not being so in control of choosing to concentrate except when was that ever the case for me. 

My psychiatrist is a nitwit so I always end up in the emergency room when the problems cycle. My nurse is a bimbo but that's changing around next week!

The medication makes me woozy and restless together but I can survive it quite well by being a morning person. 

And it is being gradually reduced.
