Inspiration for schizophrenics Posted: 05-16-07 13:08pm
Humanity is the spice that dispels
sickness. It is important that you have
or acquire a social circle. Always have
at hand at least one person to talk with.
One person you can trust (preferably
beyond family and therapist) you can
confide your innermost feelings. Have
someone in your age group who leads a
‘normal’ life, so that you can keep
your bearings with what’s around you and
‘reality-check.’ Also a
mentor-older person who has your
disability, and has ‘charted’ the path
of schizo. for a longer time is great!
Try to find a coach who ‘has been
there,’ who has gone through in the past
what you are confronting now, and above
all a coach or mentor you can relate to,
who can mentor you through the whole
process, beginning and end, and
understands how to coach you through a
crisis. We all have someone we admire.
Find a role model, and specifically, one
public figure who provides leadership and
inspiration, regardless of their type of
struggle. Profile yourself in positive
people, above all human people, who have
confronted great challenges. The
measure of your success will be the help
of a true friend or a mentor or a leader
who give you hope and inspiration to go on
and face any challenge! We are all here
on this Earth to help each other across
this great adventure called the human
will!
