Is SZA entertaining? Is it a circus act? Is it a joke?

 

This entry is in direct response to a comment on a sharepost.

 

I used to belong to a speakers group until the leader referred to us a circus. The comment in the sharepost was that SZA is entertaining.

 

I am furious that people think of me as a joke or a side show. SZA is no laughing matter. I have been through hell with SZA. I have had to work harder than most to get where I am now.

 

I have heard voices almost everyday for over 29 years. I have been in a hospital at least 15 times in 29 years. I take medicine everyday. I get an ECT every three weeks. I struggle with depression and anxiety attacks. And I think of dying everyday. FUN HUH?

 

Please if you read this and are not diagnosed with SZ, do not think of me as a circus act. I am a functioning member of society. I own my house and two cars. All of my bills are paid on time. I don't have any credit card debt. And I have a nice "nest egg." All the while with SZA.

 

Dave
