Don’t envy the champion - be the champion with a champion mindset and filled with elitism…. High performance functionality is the only way to succeed in anything you want to achieve. Greatness is doing your absolute best on any given day. Be great. Be great my team, and depend on each other, rely on each other - for you are only as good as your weakest member. Teamwork is elitism. You get more gratification from doing your performance and practice for your team, than you ever will on your own. In individual or team sport - this applies to all areas of your life. Respect your team - respect your life. You only have one chance at it.

“Several studies have shown that patients with schizophrenia have an extremely high prevalence of smoking, almost 90%, compared to only 33% in the general population and 45-70% with other psychiatric diagnoses. It is likely that smoking behaviour in schizophrenia may be related to numerous interrelationships between the psycho-pathological, biochemical, and neuropharmacologist aspects of smoking and schizophrenia” (Lohr, 1992). https://www.instagram.com/p/COgN9AxABnq/?igshid=tze7qgudv4do

When you can’t make it in to uni because you feel the need to isolate from society due to #schizophrenic #depressive and #cptsd symptoms compounding each other —> you still work. Work the best you can. Even if at home away from public scrutiny that may only exist in your own head —> you work. It suppresses suicidal ideation and grounds you back into some form of reality and into the next moment.

Medication for my mental illness’s are very important. I take an antipsychotic which reduces my auditory and visual hallucinations. Things like walls talking and tv sending subliminal messages from God and Satan through. They help with processing information. Schizophrenia is a thought disorder. It also comes with some negative symptoms such as a reduction in hygiene or lack in motion for example. The positive symptoms include all my hallucinations. Depression and CPTSD is a mood disorder and I take antidepressants for these. They help me regulate my moods so I don’t end up crying in front of you for no apparent reason at all yet there is so much trauma you can’t see that hides behind my eyes, if I wasn’t on these you would see all the evil atrocities that have happened to be through my eyes. This stops that from happening thank goodness. I also take Omega 3 fish oil to help with my neuronal synapses for better communication of my brain cells. And A multi vitamin B for daily stress reduction. I am more susceptible to the stress life throws due to the multiple traumas in my life and this reduces my hypervigilance and overstimulation of the worlds objects, mostly human. They also reduce my thoughts about suicide so they keep me alive. Take your meds peeps. I know there are side effects but when you weigh up the risks verse the benefits - medication is definitely a benefit - in my life at least. #medication #psychiatry #psychology, #mentalhealth #schizophrenia #schizophrenicscientist #depression #cptsd #ptsdawareness #ptsd (at Cronulla, New South Wales, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpDTpt9HAS5/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1anwdywwggxw2
