Just Another Normal Person

Post by shock »

Hello,
I would like to introduce myself. There might be a bit (lot) of irrelevant information, but I feel it will eventually be relevent if I stay with this community.

Medial Diagnosis: Paranoid Skizophrenia

I have been institutialized 3 times. I suffer from voices mainly but do have a lot of dellusions. I have been on a lot of medication but I'm currently not on my medication due to complicated reasons. I have a very long history of drug abuse. My childhood has led to me being quite a bit screwed up. I was born with a ridiculous problem and have been for 100+ traumatic operations. I should have been dead more than 20 times, for the following reasons: Drug overdoses, infections, suicide attempts, been stabbed in lung, been run over, almost drowned in a boating accident.

I guess thats all, oh my name is JP, but I prefer to be called shock.

Ask questions etc..

I'm happy to be here.

Hi Shock

Oh my gosh, you've been through quite a lot! It's wonderful that you are still here and alive after all of the things you mentioned. It seems like you have a strong will to live. I hope you will feel comfortable to share the thoughts in your head or what you are going through over time.

I don't have schizophrenia, but currently I'm suffering from panic attacks almost daily to the point where I can't even do the smallest, normal things anymore. It's crushing to my ego and self-esteem when I feel so weak and powerless. But I'm trying to remind myself when I can that just brushing it under the rug and powering through out of a sense of your pride for not wanting to be weak is not a road to true recovery... It takes time and patience, but it's just so tough...

So anyway, even if our issues are different it's good to know that we aren't alone in this struggle. I hope you get the relief that you can just be yourself here.
