Texto del Guión Gráfico
- Hi, my name is Tyler and I am 17 and a schizophrenic
- Schizophrenia can make everyday life and the smallest tasks difficult. It often causes me to hallucinate. Sometimes I wish I didn't have this condition.
- “They don’t understand what it’s like, they don’t know how hard it is to do the smallest tasks.”
- Schizophrenia can make it hard to socialise...
- I have been diagnosed with this condition since I was 6 and was prescribed medication since I was 14
- “I wish I could be like the others, I am ashamed of myself.”
- My hallucinations can be tame and positive like a friendly stranger..
- I face difficulty being able to sleep due to my schizophrenia which can cause lack of sleep and change in sleep patterns
- Where's the nearest gasstation?
- I feel Lazy
- It causes me to stay in my room for extended periods of time whilst being very unhygeinic and having poor grooming habits.
- But when I'm off my medications they can also be overwhelming and frightening
- And in my own time I like to meditate
- But I have found methods of coping and ways to decrease the intensity of my symptoms.
- “I must find ways to better myself and accept that this is how it's going to be."
- Like joining a peer support group with other people with the same condition...
- That is how I was able to relieve the symptoms of schizophrenia whilst not relying on medications.
