Just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean they're not after you.
Probably be more helpful to schizophrenics if their shrink stopped lying to them and saying the government isn't after them.
Listen, the government is absolutely spying on your every move and out to get you. What makes you crazy is that you think that orange on the counter is the spying device and haven't even considered your phone. No look, I told you last week they are sneaking the mind control messages into cable news, the order of the species of trees on your street has no meaning.
Ha, word! And good shrinks don’t lie about it, in fact. They work with what they’ve got to help people be functionally independent and not have to remain committed as a ward of the state.
In college, I worked for a time keeping people company who had a schizophrenic break, had left hospital and needed to rest in an assisted house for a day or two before going home. It was a process of coming to terms with the functional requirements of their situation, should they want to be in society without harming themselves or others.
In a lot of ways they were much more sensitive to their environment than anyone else I’ve known, it’s just the way their environment is coded is quite different.
Yup. If you feel crazy now, it is a healthy symptom of living in a mad world.
