My emotional support animal! #schizophrenia #healing

 

Having schizophrenia can be challenging. I didn't ask for auditory hallucinations. I think if it were my choice, I would never ask for such a difficult thought disorder. 

Ever since Shirley came into my life, my life has changed. I found a new passion for life and all its trials and tribulations. Her energy is so radiant, a light shines through her.

it's officially 7 days until I can register for classes online. My goal in school, is to receive my associates in Social and Behavioral Sciences, with a minor in trauma prevention and recovery. I plan on changing the way schizophrenia is perceived in the media. All I see online about schizophrenics is that we are psycho or some extremely smart genius. There's literally no middle ground. Where are the schizophrenics who are pretty functional, simple, and just plan on taking care of themselves and their family. I plan on healing my trauma, allowing support groups to help me succeed, and moving forward from past traumatic experiences.
