I’m sorry I missed you. I was making a quilt. Wow, your diagnosis was very interesting. I’m glad for you that you are aware of your self. I think it is a blessing. I have several relatives with schizophrenia. Three actually! And one more with bipolar.
Wow. When it is in the family like that, I suspect there is a fair amount of "mutual awareness" which is good for self-awareness and probably vice versa!
@@nednednerb it certainly could be nice to have support like that, but in our family the people in question are cousins or uncle, and grew up separately. And born in the 50’s, my cousin was just said to be sick. We didn’t know. Another younger cousin lived in Mexico. Those two have passed away. A closer relative can’t talk about it except to say it is like having a nightmare and you can’t wake up. I don’t think he knows much about schizophrenia. He’s doing okay though. He is some kind of math genius, he can create and build things with metal ( like vehicles) he has a sawmill that he made and uses to cut big slabs of wood, he built a greenhouse and he grows field crops . But he can’t listen to the radio. It talks bad about him and he does not know how the radio announcer knows all his personal life. The other one , my dear son, rarely leaves the house, because he is easily exhausted and overstimulated by everything. As long as he has food and calm he is okay. He recognizes when he has his occasional symptoms. He plays video games and does not get exercise. I hope I am not going on too much.
Wow, thanks for sharing. It is interesting to know more about the experiences of those who watch and value my content. You're not going on too much! Thank you for watching and for sharing.
@@nednednerb Ned , you made me remember something that I would like to share. My dad and mother helped my brother (!the genius) when he was so sick he was living in a shack in the woods mercilessly tormented by voices and paranoia. He was going to shoot himself. They took him to the hospital and he ended up in a house in Dover taking Haldol. His limbs were ratcheting and he was restless. But when they diagnosed him with schizophrenia, our parents never believed it or admitted it. I think this did not help my brother. It put confusion into his situation and uncertainty about what he should do to deal with it. For a good while my brother was living in the woods in his one room house, and did not want medicine. He got a lot better when I prayed for him. I knelt on his doorstep as he stood there. I put my hands on his shoes. I put my forehead on my hands. And I begged Jesus to heal him and help him live his life. He stopped crying and thinking of shooting himself . He eventually built a nice three bedroom house and got married. He can live and work independently but he can’t understand what he has, and can’t talk about it. I wonder if it would have helped him if our family had been more accepting and honest when he was diagnosed.
