I realized today that I haven't blogged in quite some time. So many things have changed in the last six months. Schizophrenia is no longer the albatross around my neck. Instead I am reminded daily of how great life is without hallucinating. It has been around eight months since I've had any psychotic symptoms. Not only am I feeling better, I haven't been on a therapeutic dose of an anti-psychotic drug the entire time. The question begs to be be asked....am I better?? Fortunately, I don't have the time or the energy to go there. Instead I enjoy each day symptom-free.
Since my last entry I've moved to Chattanooga. It's been great to finally be back home. I've gotten to reconnect with old friends and make new ones. I have visited places here that I'd only seen from a distance. Music dictates most days and is a huge part of life again. I moved in with my best friend and his mother. They have the hugest of hearts and I am eternally grateful for their hospitality. They helped me get back on my feet, find a doctor, and eventually find a place to live. I am now in my own place, paying rent and am sharing space with a wonderful lady.
In short, life is great. My perspective on life has changed completely. The hopelessness is gone for a while at least. Thanks for reading...
