Talk To Someone You Feel Comfortable With
Time
Anytime you feel like it
What To Do
Talk to someone when you feel like talking. Pour out your feelings to your caretaker, beloved ones, family members or friends. Make sure you get the right person to talk to. Find someone kind, reliable and understanding towards your condition.
What Does It Do
It takes the pain or stressed up feelings that is bottled up inside your heart. Troubled thoughts or voices may disturb your peace. It’s not worth it trying to fight them. Instead, try to talk to someone near you. Just keep distracted and do not get into an argument cycle with the voices. Find your peace and comfort by being with people who you love and not those voices that annoy and torture you. Make sure they are the correct people who understands your condition and will not have any bias or prejudice.
How I Feel After Doing It
I feel more relieved after talking out everything to someone who can be trusted. The heavy feelings or pain would gradually be faded. Being more comfortable and being in the present would make me feel less upset or lonely. Have trust and faith in your ownself that you can also manage your own feelings well. It is only a matter of time. When you are more brave in expressing, people would also better understand your condition.
Be careful of not finding the right people to open up to. Some people are not understanding or lack of empathy. This would result in more unpleasantness or more loneliness. It may cause you to take a step back or have more fear in interacting with other people in the society.
The ability to express myself is very important. As humans, I believe that we are all social animals. We want to have the need to be in a community and society despite our differences. All of us wants to be accepted and loved! Do not be ashamed of your mental health condition. Be proud of who you are as a schizophrenic. You are here because you went through a lot and still managed to be here today, this very moment!
Your pain as a schizophrenic is only a certain phase in your life. There will be more enjoyable and happy moments to come. As you fill your life with more happiness and experiences, your pain will eventually be smaller and smaller. Try not to look at only the negative symptoms of your life. Your life is more than just having schizophrenia. The power is in your hands. The choice is yours. Take steps to manage your condition better! Make it a holistic approach.
