Status Updates From The Sound of Sch: A Mental ...

2 wks ago, he was deemed a "mad" man who had to be handcuffed & taken to hospital; now here, he is sitting on the sofa & reading the newspapers like any adult. i wonder if the neighbours are still gossiping abt him, calling him a mad man & i tell myself, maybe someday i will tell them - dont call him a mad man, dont call anyone with schizophrenia a mad man because a mad man doesnt sit on the sofa reading newspapers.

to all those who have to live with mental illness
the suffering and excruciating loneliness that come with it
in a world that sometimes does not care
and often does not understand
the dignity and courage it takes to face each day
