With this photographic memory I fully understand how someone can become delusional and seem like they have schizophrenia now.
You get so stressed it corrupts your picture and you stop registering logical context because all the information you're working with is corrupted.

According to my therapist, the first thing ALL of her patients want to talk about right now is the state of the world.
She confirmed my observation that something has shifted.
If you're feeling it, you're not alone.

11 years sober today. Full of gratitude💟
🗣️I used to think my problem was a character flaw—that I was weak.
Then I broke the denial and learned: alcoholism is a progressive disease, not a moral failure.
✨Recovery networks, including the medical community, helped me learn how to live sober—one day at a time.
➡️ If I can do it, so can you.
📲If you’re struggling, you’re not alone. Dial 988.
