Schizophrenia Life
He is disabled but so am I. Schizophrenia vs Stroke.
BEST FRIENDS.
Matt was going off his meds. All schizophrenics hate their meds.
I get it. He said, “This is my brain and I should have access to it.”
I agreed, so he started cutting down and things started getting out of hand.
My best friend started getting angry.
He never got angry before. Then the F-bombs started flying. F-this. F-that. F-everything. F- the news, F- the house, F- the neighbors, F- the republicans, F-the Doller General store, F- the -N-words…I freaked…it got really bad.
This is not him.
One day he woke up and said he wanted to decapitate my cousin's head with a machete.
I called the cops. He needed his meds.
They walked away.
If I could take one pill a day and walk, well ya’ know.
He doesn’t work but got a job where they were paying him $500 a week for training. Thinking he was going to make tons of money, he was talking about moving out and forcing me into a nursing home.
