Mental illnesses are invisible to the naked eye and can have a profound impact on individuals, shaping their thoughts, emotions, and daily experiences.
In a world filled with challenges and obstacles, it is often the unexpected sources of support that can propel us toward transformative change. This is precisely the story of one individual, whom we will refer to as OP, who embarked on a remarkable journey of self-discovery and personal growth. From battling mental health struggles to confronting toxic relationships, OP’s path towards a brighter future showcases the power of resilience and the importance of prioritizing self-care. Scroll down for the complete story.
OP is a private schizophrenic actively involved in schizophrenic communities, but often perceived as eccentric due to avoidance of crowded events and occasional peculiar remarks.
OP’s friends played a disturbing prank by pretending to exhibit signs of insanity individually, wearing bizarre costumes and discussing unsettling conspiracy theories, causing OP to feel isolated and paranoid.
OP, fearing a deteriorating mental state, voluntarily admitted himself to a hospital to prevent harm, leading to a period of silence. Upon sharing his experience with a friend, he received a lengthy apology, which triggered an emotional outburst from him.
OP chose to ignore the apologies from others and has no intention of reconnecting with them.
OP made two edits to respond to some of the messages he got from the people:
OP recommends the subreddit r/schizophrenia as a helpful resource and suggests searching for local schizophrenia support groups. OP emphasizes the importance of active participation in groups and shares a humorous anecdote about a reality check moment during a meeting.
OP emphasizes the individualized nature of medication choices, the gradual process of finding the right drug and dosage and the importance of persistence in order to regain a sense of normalcy.
OP expresses gratitude for the messages he has received over the past few months and intends to provide a general update to everyone.
OP’s story began with the realization that his close friend group was not only holding him back but also causing significant emotional harm. Recognizing the need for change, OP made the courageous decision to cut ties with these toxic relationships, reclaiming his own worth and well-being.
OP’s life is thriving after cutting ties with a toxic friend group, realizing the detrimental impact it had on his well-being and choosing to prioritize self-care over investing in those who caused harm.

OP crafted an impactful resume highlighting his achievements and he secured a higher management position with increased pay. He has plans to purchase a cozy one-bedroom house with a spacious yard.
