The drug I take is called schizophrenia, among other labels, which I desperately want to put away. I want to put the drug of schizophrenia down, and I want to put down the stigma surrounding its label.

About This Quote

I want to put the drug of schizophrenia down, and I want to put down the stigma surrounding its label. The stigma surrounding the label of schizophrenia is that it is a bad thing. It is a disease, a curse. It is something you should be ashamed of because it defines who you are as a person.

However, this is the exact opposite of the truth. Schizophrenia is a gift from God, which can become a curse if we let it take control over us. However, if we allow God’s power to work through us, then we can use that same power as a blessing for others.
