Living with Schizophrenia

in psychology •  7 years ago 

Hi my name is Sam Crider and I have nothing left to hide. I'm a 36 year old schizophrenic who has been struggling with the disease since 2010. Along with this diagnosis come manic depression, bipolar disorder and delusions of grandeur. I very rarely experience psychosis although I have in the past and it is a symptom of allowing my mania to go unchecked (and not sleep) for up to a week at a time. Anyway I hate to ask you to suffer through the first chapter (it deals more with my loser brother in-law), but there were some relatively eventful things that happened. Chapter 2 really gets into my stay in the mental hospital. Please follow, I promise to try find humor in this touchy subject. Oh and this may be a duplicate (I'm still learning how this works.)
