“But fear is confusing. It tears you in two. Half of you wants to run far, far away, but the other half is paralyzed, frozen, immovable. And the hard part is that you never know which half is going to win.” ― Melody Carlson, Finding Alice (A book from the perspective of a Schizophrenic teen)

The reason all the people diagnosed with schizophrenia are classified in the same group is because they all have one thing in common. They all lack a sense of reality, and in the simplest terms that’s all schizophrenia is, a missing sense of reality.

Upworthy explains: Eleanor Longden began hearing voices in her head when she was a young college student. Her experiences are both horrifying and hopeful. In this talk, Eleanor starts by detailing the long, dark struggle she endured after a schizophrenia diagnosis. Then, at 5:39, her doctor makes a shocking assessment of her illness and her likelihood of being cured. At 7:26, she explains how the voices in her head actually provided the insight she needed to solve her problems. And at 10:08, she shares how the voices in her head might have technically helped her cheat on an exam and later go on to be an extraordinary academic and use her experiences to help others. www.upworthy.com
