It's been a long road

Just because I’m schizophrenic it doesn’t define me like it used to…early on I was suicidal losing my career in architecture and just a mentall ill person persona. I was way over weight and then after a couple of attempts at taking my life I realized I had a purpose…I couldn’t really say what my purpose was…but I found hope. I started painting as therapy and painted many, many paintings trying professionally for a year or so…some here know my work…I don’t have photo capability anymore so I can’t share…I give away prints of my artwork now and finally put away my paint brushes…too much stress…to get back on point…i lost all my weight after being put on generic prolixin. I married…got divorced, then married again and am now going on being with her 12 years total. been married 5 of those years this year. We love life and laugh a lot and we love our three rescue dogs. I can say I’m really happy now about my own life even though the world is going to crap.

Thats lovely @jukebox seems like your more stable these days and accept your lot. Just try not to worry about things you can’t control. Wars, famine, genocide earthquakes etc are heartbreaking and make us feel minute in comparison. Just keep hope that humans can realise not to add to the suffering, we all can be more loving and help each other. Good things
