Excerpt from, The Center Cannot Hold by: Elyn Saks.

"Schizophrenia rolls in like a slow fog, becoming imperceptibly thicker as time goes on. At first, the day is bright enough, the sky is clear, the sunlight warms your shoulders. But soon, you notice a haze beginning to gather around you, and the air feels not quite so warm. After a while, the sun is a dim lightbulb behind a heavy cloth. The horizon has vanished into a gray mist, and you feel a thick dampness in your lungs as you stand, cold and wet, in the afternoon dark." p. 35

More noise.

Recovery noise.

Remember to take it day by day. Each day presents new challenges. Just as well each day you must find new challenges. Make small goals everyday, and if you can continue to work toward larger goals. This is said time and time again for a reason. It helps! It helps you feel more in control. The next time you're stuck in park take out the small pad you've been carrying around and write down some simple goals. Give your day the direction it needs to be a positive one.
