that right there is some sort of mental illness itself...it has to be?
how can supposed sane people put faith in an all powerful conscious energy that would slight people like that?
it's spelt schizophrenia fyi and it's a mental illness, not a gift from god.

I knew a schizophrenic
An artist friend
He was an extreme character but I understood him
He was very sensitive and could pick up on peoples unvoiced feelings
He seemed to get overloaded
One seemingly crazy thing he did was - He had many great paintings which I admired.
I went round to see him one day and to my shock he had painted out all his works with white paint
After chatting to him I could understand his reasoning
I have done similar things also IE Burn all my poetry and start again
I hate how labels are too quickly attached to some people and how throwing mind dulling drugs at them is an easy option too often taken.
I like many often question what is considered normal or socially inconvenient.
But that is my experience and all have their own

U need 2 understand its all about perspective.
Ur bipolar is actually a gift from god. all things are gifts from God.
imagine if Thomas Jefferson or Bill gates didnt have autism.
Winston Chruchill had bipolar and so did Martin Luther. Look it up.
So yes its a trial from god but its also gods greatest gift
Good luck my friend

Thank you for your reply to my post
It is hard I know for others to appreciate what you must go through
You sound like you cope very well most of the time by what you say
You are in good company - Spike was a great man, a one off, he was loved by so many - I wish you well
