Surprising S, Her Family, And How They Have Changed My Life
As the title suggests this is about one of the most important people to come into my life in a very long time my amazing friend who is family at this point for me and Veronica Surprising S. It is also about her two kids who are also family to us at this point. And it is about how the stability and connections this family has brought me has allowed me to improve my mental health and the quality of my life beyond anything I'd actually thought was possible and given me renewed hope for what the future may hold.

Surprising S
So in what I hope is not too rambling a manner this is about how someone surprised me in the best way possible and why sometimes even if you can't believe it doing what you're supposed to what you know you're really supposed to to take care of yourself is the right thing to do and will at some point work out.

Eye of the Storm
Just what this sounds like It's about feeling like you're in the eye of a storm during some of these episodes with schizophrenia and what I imagine a lot of people with psychiatric disorders can relate to. I just wanted to show one more face of what the skin look like.

Why Am I Feeling Better Now?

Acceptance and Processing
So as the title suggests this is about my recent experience but also some of the bigger overall thoughts I've had on accepting and processing schizophrenia not just the first time which I did but also how it seems like you have to repeat this through every new episode if you want to call it that. Enjoy and I hope this helps someone. Thank you all for listening.
