Let me start off by saying that it took a lot of courage to finally ask you guys advice on this matter. So I would appreciate it if you didn't judge to hard.
Well, I always found the disease schizophrenia fascinating. I've done quite a bit of research. And well lately I've been wishing that it could plague me. I just find it so mysterious and interesting. I'm pretty sure this is not normal. And I was wondering what I could do about this?
It's not really just this one disease but others that disconnect you from reality. But schizophrenia is the one I really keep thinking about. I just find our reality boring and uninteresting so seeing the world differently would be 'fun'?
This is something I can't just stop thinking about as it has already contaminated my thoughts.
I realize that if I was a person with schizophrenia I would think totally opposite but as I am not one with such disease I don't.
I've tried to talk about this with an adult before and it was just brief and never spoken of again. And I would like to not bring it up again.
And I am only a fourteen year old female.
I tried to sum this up the best I could.. So if you have any other questions I will answer them.

About schizophrenia: my teacher's roommate can't even go to the grocery store because when she walks in, all she sees is aisles of food moving TOWARDS her! sounds terrifying =O
but back to your question...maybe you'd be interested in trying to use a different perspective. try writing with your non-dominant hand...that'll be different! =D [ LiSaxOBaBii's advice column | Ask LiSaxOBaBii A Question ]

The thing is, wishing for the impossible is a waste of time. Dont' think about it too much. You've done you're research on it, that's good. Now why don't you apply what you know into something creative? Write a book about a fictional (fake character) girl who really has schizophrenia. Make a comic book. Write stories in a blog for people to read online. Draw about it. And you're young so this is good. Find something you can do with this and become good at it. Maybe it could be your career, you could be a therapist or study human behavior.
