I strive to lighten up the mood. What is your response to this picture?
My name is Ashley. I started this blog in 2008 to record learning experiences, coping skills, and life as it relates to schizophrenia. In the beginning, it was my sister's idea to start this blog, I did not know what to expect. However, I've journalled since childhood so it was therapuetic to articulate thoughts and feelings online and to get a response. I take medication to treat my illness, however, I am not opposed to alternative forms of treatment. Here is my story...
The Author
- Ashley Smith
- Atlanta, Georgia, United States
- I was diagnosed with adult onset paranoid schizophrenia at the age of 20... I experienced the ups and downs of mental illness- incarceration, hospitalization, personal care home, outpatient treatment program and clubhouse- but i survived it! Now, I share my life with you of how I am coping with my illness. I hope this blog encourages you to seek PROFESSIONAL help for yourself or a loved one... Please comment. Thank you!

I wish I could be care-free. I'm jealous of the woman. I want to be happy
I second that BPD in OKC, I wish I were care-free, too.
Hello Valesh. Thanks for commenting on my blog again. I often think I should post more positively. However I do not feel at all positive and I wanted my blog to reflect my mood. Maybe this is the wrong approach though.
All the best
