Schizophrenia Diaries

My name is Roberta and I am 25 years old. I have schizophrenia and I am coping with it very well. I have been taking  my medication for a year now and I have been functioning normally. A few years ago, I felt my whole world was falling apart. I had just remembered that my father went to prison when i was two years old. I had hallucinations and thought that people were out to get me. I also struggled with voices from my past. However I am living a full life and I am coping well. I always wondered what it was like to live with schizophrenia and when i was diagnosed I did not want to accept it, but the medication made all my symptoms go away. I look forward to living my life.
