"Translating" (title subject to change)
Having been diagnosed schizoaffective, I've worked
hard to understand what is so different about the
way I think and how much it diverges from the
acceptable 'norm'. Over the years, I've come to
find many people with mental issues ranging
from depression, to manic depressive, to various
forms of schizophrenia. We shared many aspects
of how our life is and the coping mechanisms we
used to manage. I noticed that many of the
suggestions were the same and that's why there is
such a thing as a mental health community.
I am currently off anti-psychotics due to the horrible side-effects, and have been seeking new forms of therapy. Throughout this, I've learned to 'translate' my thoughts into something the average person can understand. After being told I should make something out of this, I'm finally writing it down. I'll be posting excerpts as I work my way through the experience during the 6 weeks given. Keep checking for more, thank you, and wish me luck!
