Hmmmm, Schizophrenia is somethimg people are born with & shows up in the later teen years. Usually it runs in the family & passed down through the generations. So what is your families history with this MH diagnosis. Do your parents have it as well? If so it is no more their fault for having it than it is yours.

Accepting the limitations that MI creates is never easy but neither is realizing that one's talents can limit oneself from achieving a dream also.

Just because we are good at something or make it our dream doesn't mean we actually have the ability to achieve it or compete with others more capable in REALITY.

These are all things I learned in college where competition IS REAL. I had to find a new career path as a junior in college & it was a huge change. Worth it....YES. It was something that I could be more successful at doing in the long run but a far cry from the dream.
