My Growing Blog

I am very excited about my growing blog, I have picked up 11 followers in last two weeks. My blog is about my triumph over schizophrenia and other things related to schizophrenia.

The purpose of the blog is to spread awareness about schizophrenia and to fight stigma. I think I am getting through to people, I just hope the site will continue to grow so that people will talk about about it, and not share sentiments such as media portrays people with schizophrenia as violent, or have no hope for recovery.

I started my blog in September 2008, and since then I have learned so much about schizophrenia. It feels good to know more about my illness, it feels like I am in control.

I have been out of institutionalization for a little over a year, and it feels great! My recovery is progressing very well. I am doing the things I used to do prior to my nervous breakdown in June 2007, I have a marketing internship and a relationship.

I am so glad I have your support to share my joy with and to get advice.

My blog, Overcoming Schizophrenia, is located at http://overcomingschizophrenia.blogspot.com.

Do you have a blog, so that we can network?
