Schiz

Voice, Auditory hallucinations, Schizophrenia, Telepathy

You want to think of me as nonhuman?

I have a voice, so I’m a demon, a vampire, or something?

You want to pathologize me?  Medicate me? Dehumanize me?  Call me disabled?

   Because of my fucking DNA?   Well, FU.   To hell with you.   

Let me tell you something.  My birthmother, who is also schizophrenic, has conversations in her head with her friends, and loves it.  So it’s not a disability, necessarily.

And I’m not suffering, either.

Medicated for a superpower?   That’s fucking ridiculous.

I’m a telepath, and most of you are idiots.

Telepath does not equal psychopath.

And neither has anything to do with choosing a path.

Telepathology?  Is that what schizophrenia is?

Anyone who dreams, or has an open mind, is exactly the same as me.

So FU and your medications and your medical degrees

And your pathologizing something you don’t even understand!

I’m the same as you and want to be treated as human, normal, and sane.

    (on the other hand) Heretofore, all references to ‘schizophrenia’ in regard to the person of Jesse Lawrence Teshara shall be made with respect for it as an ability, and a unique quality of a talented individual.

(actually, the voice is much diminished, of late...)

heredity

a single schizophrenic parent has a 13.8% chance of schizophrenic offspring

if both parents are schizophrenic, the chance goes up to 50%

also, talking or listening to God is generally accepted and not pathologized, it seems
