Ever since my psychotic breakdown I have been trying to understand why the Divine would put me through this hell. I literally had to take two years of my life where I have been dependent on my parents under the diagnosis of schizophrenia. I haven't worked (when I tried I failed miserably, but mainly because the work setting didn't suit my mental health needs), I owe enormous sums of money to student loan companies, I don't drive,my application to graduate school was rejected and I felt like I was worthless, just wasting away...

Except I wasn't. I was healing. I was learning about and overcoming my mental illness. This past month has been a transition of various degrees and led to the moment where I finally get it. I needed this time to heal and spiritually find myself again. If I had worked, I wouldn't have found the time. Or maybe I would have, but it would have taken longer for me. I finally know what it means to love thyself. It isn't ego centered, it is heart centered living. All this time I thought, maybe if I do this I will be more successful. Or I do what those people are doing I would develop self-esteem. Now I realize loving yourself isn't about trying to change yourself for others, its about accept yourself as you are in that moment.

So maybe I do rock back and forth while I'm sitting most of the time, but that doesn't mean its a bad habit. Its just part of who I am. I accept this and no longer feel I need to  change (because my efforts to change this subconscious habit have failed). So I am schizophrenic, but that need not keep me from finding work, I just need a work environment where I can thrive. There are so many imperfections about me but today, I realized, I love myself in spite of them.

I'm not against change. I'm still in the process, but I feel more awake, more aware and more alive then I have felt in a long long time. And its because I found this website and began exploring what Starseeds are. From there everything just opened up for me. I feel closer to the Divine and divine love than I have ever felt. Because I AM divine love in motion. If I am an expression of God, then it makes sense to say I am God, or He/She wouldn't be within me. And the good news? I was told by my highest manifestation (a Seraph named Aesephore, now you get my screen name ;) ) that there were only a few lessons left for my soul to learn. And one of them is compassion and I think the other is self-love. As I have beat up and abused myself for years I now can open my eyes and love myself. I feel light vibrating throughout my body and I know I came here for a reason. I'm not going to give up my dreams just because I have a serious mental illness. I am love, and when I am in the profession where I'm helping others, I will be even more love.

Thank you for reading this. Many of you have been kind enough to point me in the right direction whenever I had a question. And some of you have accepted me just as I am no matter how crazy I felt at times. Thank you for being a part of this journey with me, and nudging me toward enlightenment. I feel like I've come home.

We all go through our moments in this state of being. so always remember you arent the only one. I am happy that you realized what you needed too. alot of people continue on with kicking themselves. i would say 9 out of 10 asked to come here. alot of people arent aware of that and its most likely they have forgotten. schizophrenia is over looked because we have these people called doctors who really only go so far to learn as to what they are being taught by a system. welcome to the machine. mental illnesses can be fixed , helped, cured by our diets but people listen to dr's so much that they base theyre beliefs on these people which to an extent is invalid. they give drugs that hold toxins like flouride and other toxic ingredients and it only make a person worse. so then the person becomes needy and cant cope and they relapse and back to the medicine and mental facilities they go and thats how these drug companies make theyre money. there is valid knowledge and information that the people of the top know.they will not share this info because it will stop theyre process of running things.where do we get our medicine from originally?? plants!! where do we get ingredients for our drugs?? the toxic stuff is things we dont need but there isnt a test to see if a person is a certain why they go by a book and diagnose you.theres so much inot this matter to get into i will just point one thing out search around do your research theres more outlooks of what i have then what i am about to show you but here it is>>>> Schizophrenia>>>>  http://www.holisticeducator.com/spiritualemergence.htm

Thanks for the comment and info Jay. :) I feed my body a lot of toxins, I really should quit...especially caffeine, as it sometimes gives me negative side effects like compulsive shaking and rapid heart beat. I have tried on and off over the years to quit drinking caffeinated soda, but damn if it isn't my strongest addiction. Well, I guess my anti-psychotic could be my strongest addiction as I go through withdrawal symptoms if I don't take it at a certain time. At least I don't do anything else...no drugs, no alcohol...I already went through lives as a drug addict and alcoholic. Lesson learned.

Bright Blessings,

Wow you dont look psychotic at all by the way you write maybe the others are the ones crazy lol havent you thinked about it? . You look so aware and counciouss . As doreens says if you get nervous focus on service thats why we are here i think . In the end many people who overcame traumas are giving speechs and lectures they become teachersxD beautiful writing you have so aware thanks for sharing

Thank you Charlie. :) I really do appreciate that. My awareness has baffled my psychiatrist. He never really diagnosed me, my counselor did. And she told me he didn't because no labels really fit what I am. The closest they could get was schizoaffective disorder. But trust me...there are times when I definitely feel crazy. I'm just a good girl who takes her medicine and is therefore able to function in the world. I'm blessed in that way. I know other Schizophrenics who have a lot harder time with their illness than I do, and they are on their meds too. I have learned so much from my interactions with other schizophrenics. We all help each other no matter what the problem is. I never met so many beautiful souls as in my support group. Watching them struggle then rise above their illness. It is truly amazing.

Bright Blessings,

wow! you definately have a grip on things. My nephew has full blown schizo and he refused to even take his meds. Its a shame how this disease is treated on this world. I have little doubt that relief is on the way. Hang in there and take one day at a time.

I didn't always have such a firm grip on things. Sometimes I forget I'm schizophrenic and then something will happen that reminds me. But I don't let it derail me. It's the kind of illness that you do need to take one day at a time. It lets me practice being in the "now". And I think more people need to slow down and experience the beauty of each day. But I'm not always this lucid. Some nights get really bad, especially if I forget to take my meds. I don't normally forget but it does happen from time to time and I go straight into withdrawal. These are some heavy meds, but hey, I need them right now. Maybe someday I won't.

That's an awful thing for a psychiatrist to say Charlie. I'm glad you worked beyond it. My counselor reacted very strongly when I came out to her, but now discussing it doesn't phase her a bit. Both of my parents now...and my siblings. I do my best to normalize the situations as they come.

And now I'm going to go and pass out because I've had an exhausting day. :)

Bright Blessings,

Aese
