Schizophrenia 101; look beyond the pop culture portrayals and learn the reality behind this oft-stigmatized mental illness.
The UNreal World
So I wanted to tell you a bit about a “friend” of mine and his, shall we say “home,” he moved into a few months ago. Now, my “friend” told me that when he viewed it, it was a quirky but kinda regular “home.” He was so happy to be living alone with his privacy safe, warm and dry. That was up until recently when he very quickly started noticing some changes which in turn had drastically changed his surroundings. To be honest, to my eyes everything all looked normal but to him, he was living in what he now called a Fish Bowl.

The Man in the Mirror and His Music
The man in the mirror keeps looking at me. He speaks to me and knows what will break me. He picks away at me like I will crumble. Sometimes he transcends the mirror and sits beside me on the couch or holds a knife to my face, whispering that I should let him take over or kill myself now. When we were little we used to toss a baseball back and forth. Or we would take turns scoring goals in soccer. My imaginary friend looked just like me. I grew up, and he became less imaginary and far more destructive.
