Just wondering if any knows of such a group or maybe wants to help start one? Maybe just a group for schizophrenics who love video games? Not going to lie I’m the type of twisted gamer who enjoys dead space( but that’s the only horror game/movie I involve myself with 😂) willing to hear if anybody has any suggestions?
O man where do I start? Just found this community today and I’ve gotta say maybe I need more information on my own schizophrenic disease. It started in 8th grade, I had horrific visions of slamming kids heads into lockers and other violent ideas but when saw by a therapist they wouldn’t diagnose me at such a young age so I thought maybe I’m ok, fast forward to about 2015 my friend had just turnt 21 and we went out for drinks, go to the upstairs area and completely lost him and my phone was on very low battery but I tried calling him and nothing, his excuse is it was his birthday and he was wrecked. After looking for about 30 mins I decided I would walk home( very far walk) but ended getting lost cause idk my way around town yet, I’m walking and a car speeding down the street hits me on my side and I roll off the hood and hit my head on the concrete. I hope this is a safe place to say this but I peed on church grounds that same day.
So fast forward about 2 months and I’m paranoid as hell, looking at numbers and the alphabet as some kind of hidden holy language and making decisions that really make no sense to me now. I had plenty of episodes for 3 years until finally they took me to mental intake and I got medicated
Fast forward to now I’ve come a long way with schizophrenia, my mom loves the person I have eventually become, I look at life through a happier lens, I take care what needs to be taken care, and my family is no longer like (what wrong with him) I don’t drive, never have, never will, but I also don’t drink anymore so that has helped a lot. But I have to thank my support network of my family and my limited friends ( most left me during my psychosis) my doctor told me that finding happiness could be the best thing for my disability. I still hear voices and have delusions but hey what can you do? I have schizophrenia for life. If I can tell my story and the younger generation feels like they can find peace in their life too I would have done something special with my life. So keep your head up, find happiness even in the small things and never give up your mental health journey cause that will lead to better things I promise!
