Dismantling the stigma surrounding psychosis

The world inside my mind is very different from the world that surrounds me.

But you have to know this much:

I didn’t choose this. This was not a choice of mine. It’s a pattern of behavior and cognition that’s not entirely within my control.

I realize now that life is not a meritocracy. Life, love, and war are all fundamentally unfair.

After thinking for days and reflecting on things, I’ve realized that what I do or say doesn’t define me. What does are my values and priorities.

My thoughts of loneliness are what I’m familiar with. I understand I have different phases and mood changes.

But I’m done pushing people away. I’ll drop my guard and act like the cross-dressing tomboy I am.

And that’s okay.
