I would rather think my brain is broken than me (my mind). At this point I can't think of my mind being broken, but I can handle my brain is broken. Physical things can be fixed (my brain), but the mind(the thing that makes me me) cannot be fixed. Yes I do believe therapy can and does help me to deal w/ the everyday, but if my brain wasn't broken, than my mind wouldn't need fixing.

Well said. God, I lived with and went to a partial program with schizophrenics and that is the worst thing I have ever seen in my life. That is the worst torture I have ever seen and my heart sinks when I see someone like that. They are broken and I wish someone could help them but they are stuck in an abyss. How could a Higher Power ever let this happen.
I was an inpatient with a 24 yr old female teacher who just started experiencing schizophrenia and I felt for her and her mother was so shattered. I felt so bad for her. Her mother had loss and sadness written all over her face and there was nothing she could do. She was a very bright girl and she was on an emotional rollercoaster which I have never seen before.
