[quote=Anonymous]My sister had severe schizophrenia and was in and out of hospitals when she was younger. None of us have cut her from our lives. She suffered silently for a long time before she could bring herself to discuss her symptoms. The toughest were hearing voices, visual hallucinations and acute anxiety. She was a talented artist (painter). One day we went to the Guggenheim Museum. She asked to leave after ten minutes. She told us later that voices were screaming at her to get out of the museum. She said she would see what she called 3D babies in her living room and when she took a walk red doors would melt. We went on vacations together. She married and had three children. She had ups and downs but wasn’t a violent or destructive person. When you feel like it’s just too much for you to bear, just think of the person with the horrible disease that’s still not understood and maybe find some compassion in you. [/quote]
