An Inspiring Story

Psychologist Overcomes Paranoid Schizophrenia

http://www.psychlaws.org/GeneralResources/PA2.htm

By the end I was in tears...

It's a good story. I don't know much about psychlaws.org or the
Treatment Advocacy Center. Do any of you know about either of those
beyond what is on their website?


I imagine being free of this illnes, sometimes I have dreams that are
like forks of my life. Like if I had made different choices as a kid,
and things turned out differently. Unfortunately they're all rather
surreal.

I think I have heard of this guy, on the web. It is pretty inspiring.
But I think the stuff I saw was written by him, himself, and I was a
little turned off by the style, it was so self-aggrandizing.

Anyway, I also wonder a lot about what would have happened to me if I
had made certain other small choices differently, etc. I think
everybody does but it may be more so for the mentally ill -- lots of
ruminating, etc.

I get caught in it sometimes quite a bit. Have to watch it. It helps a
little to understand things, the past, and to make better choices in
the future, so you have to do it a little... I think it's hard to know
when it is too much yourself and stop though, at least it is for me.
Good thing to do a reality check with someone else with.

There are those who understand intellectually that they have a problem, and
then there are those who never accept that idea.

To me, some poor choices early in life matter less because I was headed for
a train wreck beyond my control anyway.
