    They make it sound like he made the decision to be sick. Psychosis isn't something you choose. It isn't right, but he didn't just decide to abandon them.

    One of my best friends I met was schizophrenic. He committed suicide a couple years after I met him. I only found out about his illness after he had passed, and the mystery and my inability to understand his thought processes finally started to make sense. Many people in our school loved him and his eccentric personality and strange humor. I cherish the time we spent together and will forever be grateful for his friendship.

    YOU ARE SO RIGHT! It’s tragic, not beautiful! He’s damaged. He damaged his family. His life accomplishes nothing. He’s insane. Sadly, people like him often take their own lives, or seem peaceful until the day they perform some crazy weird or violent act. He’s not a sage or holy man. He is mentally ill. Today, it’s the PC thing to do; to say it’s beautiful etc. No, this man once held his family hostage. They had no food nor did they understand why he was doing this! The family is hurting, suffering because of him. People like this often rebuff treatment, they won’t listen to doctors, they won’t take their meds, they receive money from the state gov. To live on and therefore and exposition in their own crazy would.

    One of my best friends developed schizophrenia in his 20s . He was someone I not only trusted completely but was in awe of because of his creativity and his talent for playing instruments which took me a long time to get good at. He went away to the military after highschool and was doing well, I thought. Soon his letters became odd and he was talking about things he was involved in that were unusual and sometimes frightening. One day he showed up at my house looking bad and acting strangely and he said he was AWOL and the military authorities were after him. Next time I saw him he was discharged but drinking heavily and just in a bad way. I didn't hear from him again and a couple years later he died after drinking liquor and taking drugs prescribed for schizophrenia, which I didn't know he'd been diagnosed with. Finding out he had schizophrenia explained his change of personality but it didn't make it any less sad.

    I love his story about the birds. I think the pigeons represent his desire to transcend to something elevated, to be free of the constraints of a narrow-minded and hurtful human society and the voices are the voices of those who want to keep people in line, in the world. I could be wrong. I can empathize with that. He's so far gone he's just about consumed by paranoid delusion.

    That's because he is a sane person in a sick society... It also resonates with me. Someone with a great mind like his, is going to end in prison, a mental institute or socially marginalized. Most people are so blinded that they cannot see the full picture of what is really going on. If you born into a place filled with violence, lies and desperation, how can you NOT be paranoic??? the mind creates a new and beautiful reality in order to escape the insanity of this world.

    Schizophrenia is a living nightmare. These voices constantly tear the person down, tell them they are not worthy to live, that they are horrible. The voices are never good or nice. Imagine this running through your mind all of the time-ALL the time. It is one of the most difficult mental disorders to treat effectively. There are only so many meds, and for some, none of them work. It comes upon people generally in their late teens or twenties, just when they are supposed to be getting started as young adults. Mental illness doesn't just happen to one person, it happens to everyone who loves them. So, so sad.

    if you treat it like a disease it will become a disease ....you say " It comes upon people generally in their late teens or twenties, just when they are supposed to be getting started as young adults. " that is the problem , people are expected to become addults , to loose their child-soul , to get a job , stop dreaming and become materialistic rational consumption slaves ... this is our western culture and society norms ...but what if someone is scared of becoming this kind of PRODUCT .... what if the soul starts being rebellious , and trying to escape this life-plan , that is just an attempt to put you in a shape - in a box ....schizophrenia is a gift , a open psychedelic mind ... but when you are not used to anything exept " normality " , then it might scare you ... when you start telling someone who is on a trip to mental revolution : " hey youre sick " .... what is that ?! actually people with this gift can read the thoughts of others , they are very spiritual , very sensitive , intuitive , creative , they have a different way of perceiving reality than others...more deep , non - materialstic and clearvoyant ...its not a disease , you have to decode the messages and talk to the voices cause they wanna tell you something but you dont listen , just eating pills , that doesnt make it better , become more spiritual , drop your rational mind that is violating you..dive into your spirit and LISTEN ...

    I grew up with a guy named Bryan who became one of my best friends. He was smart, even gifted . He could play several instruments , which took me years to learn to play well. He could pick up an instrument and figure it out in no time. Bryan was a track star and a great hitter in baseball. He joined the Air Force and rose in rank quickly. Then he started to send me letters that didn't make sense , saying he believed he was being targeted and singled out for all sorts of bizarre scenarios by different people . His brother and mom were getting letters from him that said the same type of thing. I didn't hear from him for a few months and one day he showed up at my apartment in Cincinnati looking like he hadn't had a haircut or a shave in months. He eventually told me he was AWOL and that he believed the government would execute him if he was found. He said he had information that was classified and that he needed to go to Turkey for some reason, because there were people there who could clear his name. It didn't take long for me to realize he was delusional but I didn't really understand schizophrenia at all so I didn't know what to do. I let him stay with me awhile,but finally told his brother that Bryan was in Cincinnati and they needed to get him and take him someplace where he could get help. His brother came and eventually convinced him that he needed to seek help, which he did. About a year later he wrote me a letter saying thanks for helping him out, but he was going to die, because he couldn't stop drinking and his meds were not safe to mix with alcohol. And that is exactly what happened. They found him dead in his room from a mixture of vodka and anti psychotic meds. Bryan was 25 years old when he died. I've since tried to learn more about schizophrenia. The way it destroyed my friend so completely and so quicky was shocking.

    Exactly the same thing has happened to me in the last few months. Several psychotic episodes led me from being removed from the family home as I held mine hostage. I don't remember a lot of it. Now I'm living in a room all alone taking antipsychotic medication every day.

    John Ratliff, also known as “Lone Star Swan,” “Swan,” “Saint Swan” and “The Birdman,” was an award-winning journalist and poet when, in 1972, he began experiencing psychotic episodes. Eventually schizophrenic and unhoused, he made the Mission’s 16th Street his home, and its pigeons his flock. On Monday, Feb. 7, he died at 3:15 p.m. from sepsis and aspiration pneumonia at Sutter Health Alta Bates Medical Center. He was 81.

Check out cointel pro, mk ultra etc. All programs designed to mind control people. Remember, the CIA invented the term 'conspiracy theory', mmm now why would they do that? It's a form of mass gaslighting designed to make the target look mentally ill. WAKE UP!! YOUR GOVERNMENTS ARE SCREWING YOU OVER!!

I randomly get word sequences in my head ......like yesterday I kept saying to myself at work "progressively proper".......then again a boring repetitive job can make some nuts even nuttier.
