I have been diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia. It took me awhile to realize that I had an illness because I was in denial, but now I am in remission trying to cope each and every day. I give God the glory as the chief cornerstone of my success toward a better life with this illness. I have faith in myself plus I have support from lots of people.
 
I really like to work on art because I get a chance to express how I really feel. It can be a great coping skill to have.
