my parents and i are getting along quite well (miracle). at this point, it seems like its...well, they know i deal with schizophrenia, but they also treat me like a human being...which includes I think a bit more responsibility than with families that just see the label(s).
I'm physically healthy. mentally...getting better, day by day. Verna and I are good friends, and as the years have gone by and The Lord has moved in my life, its become more of a 2 way street, real friendship, not simply a godly woman taking pity on me back in the day. I"m thankful.
I think I may never have a job. I mean, maybe I will. I"m not about to limit things too, too much, but...its looking less and less likely, each year that goes by. I think there was a time when I could have been a janitor or something, maybe...-if- I'd been given treatment, -if- I'd been less prideful, -if- I'd mattered enough that people would do things with me and explain things to me, instead of just...what ended up happening...but that's "the real world," so...
now, I'm healthy, surprisingly intelligent, and I have Schizophrenia. I asked about low level jobs that had been mentioned before, and both my counselor and the jobs placement people said no, you'll get frustrated. but then at the upper level jobs...stigma is real, my long history of unemployment is real, and...yeah. God's will be done!
ok. just saying...thank you, Jesus. And thank you, people of CFnet, too.
