Potentially dangerous when untreated, but with stigma against those healed… as it is a grave illness with no cure, just managed symptoms.
Treated people are not dangerous, however different they might seem. Breaking the silence on Mental Health is the first step to saving lives.
Compassion and courage must replace stigma for healing to begin.
Schizophrenia is misunderstood. The stigma is WRONG… many people who hear “I have schizophrenia” they instantly distrust and think “this woman is unstable, out of her mind.”
The term, “out of my mind” is a very interesting statement. I’m a very sensitive spiritual being and have a strong connection to my Light. That means I exist without, as within. That said, I am present, with critical thinking functions in place. I know myself well enough to realize the voices I hear should be measured by my intuition and conscience. They are not my thoughts, they are more like dreams happening behind the veil, as I travel through my day, awake.
Every word spoken by a spirit must not be followed without conscious agreement carefully weighed against “Why would this be, or not be, a good idea?”
You’d be surprised how many people have had a bout of psychosis, got treatment early, and managed to live a productive life, with doctors who are confident that they are free to advocate for themselves and live on their own.
However, some schizophrenics don’t have a will and presence to stand firm within themselves to not let the voices hypnotize into doing things that would, or should, cause remorse. Psychosis is treatable, but dangerous and unpredictable if left untreated.
I might not have had the strength within myself either except that I voluntarily went for observation. Having had the patience to discover the right medications that allowed me the control of my mind and see that I’m not dangerous to myself or the public.
I know if I stoped taking my meds my mind and spirit would destabilize, I’d melt into fear, anxiety, and depression. I’d be unable to live on my own. My meds help me stay present enough to live on my own safely. Yes I hear voices. No, I don’t follow them. All of my choices are my own, always.
When I’m overwhelmed, I seek help. When my health destabilized, I fought to get IN to the mental hospital. I successfully quit drugs. I’ve been clean off alcohol, cigarettes, hard drugs and opiates, completely, for almost three years now. I take the meds I need and live a clean lifestyle.
I gave up my trucking career, voluntarily, due to my illness! The question became, “What would happen if i got stuck in some remote place in another country and run out of medications?
I made the smart choice not for myself but for the general public, I stay home unemployed, continuing follow-up treatment. It’s hard living in poverty, but I believe it’s my only safe option at this time.
Knowing that the brain can be healed over time with exercise like daily reading, and electrical neuronal systems can be “rewired”.. it takes time and practice but believe me the efforts are worth it.
Another note is this lesson: if you feel like you’ve hit rock bottom, be glad! Tomorrow brings a new sunrise and a fresh outlook. Have faith, hope, and Love yourself.
I want to spread the message that getting treated for hearing voices and hallucinating should not be feared. The opposite in fact. Having symptoms and being in denial is WAY more dangerous. So if someone admits the term, “I have schizophrenia” and voluntarily continues treatment, don’t shame them or fear them! Encourage them!
Thank you, peace.

Help a young leader raise 20 orphans that he took in from off the street. These kids appreciate the new family they have, and they are surrounded by love. They go to school, they usually eat each day, but sometimes 22 mouths to feed (including him and his grandma) is very difficult to provide for!
He has been taking steps to start a poultry business, he already has a chicken house, with electricity that he didn’t have! He now needs proper heat lighting, medicine and items before getting the chicks to start his business with.
This will support his family with food and income.
I’ve been friends with these people for a couple of years now and support them as my own family. But my money is limited too and WE need help to care for these promising youngsters.

God Blessed you,
