@awfernandez: Thankful to have friends and pets to support us when things become overwhelming. People with schizophrenia sometimes seek help and friends and it doesn’t work. Can be hard to make friendships and sticking two people with psychosis together isn’t always the answer. But there are good people out there who want to help and be friends #schizophrenia #MentalHealth #Siblings #psychosis #care
Love is the only thing that will save any of us ♥️

My best friend Erin had a schizophrenic break in her late 20s. Medication hurt more than helped. Everyone abandoned her except me, her mom, and stepdad. I still spent time with her regularly, multiple times a week, even when it was hard or scary. We went on walks, went to dinner, went to movies. But it was too much for her, and she ended her life. It’s been 22 years without her, and I still miss her so much. Bless you for loving your brother like this.

As a fellow sufferer, the right visual stimuli is key. I believe my schizophrenia resides somewhere within the visual cortex, as my research has shown that no person born blind has ever developed schizophrenia. I think it's wonderful what you all do for your brother, I wish I had this, but I had to do it by myself. Your right about nature. It's the shade of green that does it. It increases our visual definition, giving more detailed information to the brain, leaving less room for what's not real. I think this works because we only have so much processing power in our brains. God bless you all🙏

You truly are an angel on earth. No societal institution could replace a brother's love. I have a sister with severe borderline. She decided to cut contact with the whole family a few years ago. Havent seen or heard from her since. We dont even know if shes still alive. Seeing you with your brother cheers me up.

Thank you for loving your brother so strongly. it's certainly not easy to do hard things, but know that as a sister there is nothing I wouldn't do, to be there for them.

How do you manage your time? like do you work full-time? Curious I have a family member suffering from schizophrenia and everyone works full time so it’s hard.
