How would you rate your quality of life- from 1 to 10?
I would rate my life at the moment about a 8 or 9.



Are you happy?
I am happy most of the time. I have been going through a med adjustment and am getting back to healthy enough again. Of course there are things I think about or come up that make me sad or ashamed or hurt, etc.

At times I get emotional and weep. Thank God my wife loves that I am sensitive.



Have you been able to do all the things you want to do?
I have done a lot in life - I am almost 40, but feel 20. There will never be an end to the things I want to do.



So you think you'll be able to do whatever you want to in the future?
I am blessed/fortunate/lucky to be in the place I am now. It took 20+ years. I do not see any issues with doing what I want to do as long as I have my wife.



How much do your symptoms impact you?
I have been in recovery and back and back and slip and fall and tumble and get up and fall and get up for 20+ years. My symptoms now are very well managed - though I am going through a med adjustment for paranoia and voices.

They are pretty much always there, but are kept at bay.



What brings you down the most and what makes you feel best?
Down -> past losses, pains, lessons, events, seeing my wife hurting, my wife crying and begging me not to kill myself (I assure her that I would never do that to her)

Best -> using my creative outlets (DJ/Producer/Artist/Poet) I have a website for each of my pursuits and offer my work to the public in various forms (online radio, podcast, art boards, websites)
