Could be... But it's not.
SWIM has a schizophrenic friend: Who said this in response to your statement:
"Never feeling like you belong. Realising that you're different. Sometimes feeling that you have the answers to the universe at your fingertips, sometimes feeling that everything bad that's ever happened is your fault. Absence of visual hallucinations, presence of audio hallucinations. Lack of insight into your situation, depersonalisation, emotional blunting, paranoia 24/7. Hating yourself for "doing this" to the people you love. Realising that you will never be like other people and that your only chance is horrible drugs with hideous side effects for the rest of your life, and even then knowing that you will never be the person you would want to be."
He is a brilliant man and SWIM loves him dearly, he has wonderful family and friends and a more enlightened than most psychiatrist. He is creative and loving and despite multiple drug (prescription and otherwise) and non-drug therapies still feels BROKEN. He's not interested any more.
