I ended up in hospital a few weeks back with expected appendicitis, spending several days in a surgical ward. It was all fun and games trying to organise my admission, with them thinking I could be just dumped on a ward, with a bundle of people I don’t know- dealing with the random noises, beeping and coming and going of strangers. If only it was that easy… Continue reading “Time for a Rant.. Schizo in Hospital”
So this is a very short post, but is about a concept that I have been thinking about a lot lately. In general I find that people only ever have a basic understanding of Schizophrenia, if any at all; I’m often asked questions about my experience and symptoms, which I’m more than happy to answer.
Therefore I have a question to all my lovely followers; would you be interested in a monthly or quarterly Q&A? This would consist of followers, visitors, pretty much anyone, asking me questions and then me doing a post with all the answers. The questions could be sent through comments on the blog, Twitter, or even Instagram.
If there is any interest please let me know, as well as giving me your first questions..
I’ve spent a lot of time trying to think of different ways of breaking the stigma of schizophrenia through this blog, and I realised that I was depending upon you taking my word. This lead me to ask my lovely follower, and I like to think, friend @OneDizzyBee who has experience of knowing a Schizophrenic to write a post for me. She can be found at http://onedizzybee.com/ so go and check her out!!
So with that I pass it over…. Continue reading “Schizophrenia’s Friend- Guest Post”
This is one of my first nomination posts; though it will be the first of many in the next few weeks. I received my nomination from such a lovely lady, Aimee from aimeeraindropwrites – I highly recommend giving her site a looksie if you haven’t already!
Well what can I say, this has going shockingly badly over the past month. Wish I could blame it on Christmas, but it happened at the beginning of the month. All I can say is that I will be hitting it hard this year!

With all the festivities last month causing me to be very busy, my book haul did get left behind a bit. I managed only 3 books, but did spend the Christmas period working on Dracula- review to come as an individual post; yes, it is that good! But the three I did complete were very varying in my thoughts of them; Maze Runner being a huge disappointment. Continue reading “December Book Haul”
I kind of stumbled upon this idea when I was looking for some advice on the internet; but it perfectly highlights just the stigma that I am trying to break. Schizophrenia effect 22,000 people in the UK, so why are people so scared of us?
I’m asked so often what my future will be as a young onset schizophrenic. Anyone who understands the condition knows that it’s not a positive prognosis, but the truth is there is no test to be able to tell apart from time. Continue reading “What does the future hold?”
New Years Eve has different connotations for different people; partying, family parties, or just another night. In my childhood, that I remember me and my family didn’t really used to do anything. I can’t be completely sure when it happened, but we changed that and made our own tradition.
This post is rather self explanatory, but I thought it would be a nice idea to write down all my main goals so I have something to consult in the long off time of Christmas 2016! (scary to be thinking so far away… -sigh-).
