I express things through characters because I have a fear that my own voice is irritating because thats been said to me.

I think taking vacations and turning off the phone and only doing emails or social media for a specific short amount of time helps with work/life balance. If I'm checking it all day I start to feel cuckoo-bird. So I just do it once or twice a day instead of a thousand. And then remembering that it doesn't matter. It just doesn't matter.

The thing that keeps the thoughts coming back is the power that you put in the thought that you can't think of it.

My therapist says I'm afraid of success. I guess I could understand that, because after all, fulfilling my potential would REALLY cut into my sitting-around time

I express things through characters because I have a fear that my own voice is irritating because thats been said to me.

Some of my friends and family have tried to challenge me to do jokes that aren't as self-deprecating, where I genuinely express my own opinion in my own voice.

Schizophrenia is hearing voices, not doing voices.
