The Seasons are Changing

Fall is coming and I cannot be more excited. The crisp air, the early nights, the beautiful trees... it's all around the corner.  Fall can be a wonderful time of football and festivals, but unfortunately it can also be a time of depression.  As much as I love the cooler weather (considering I live in South Carolina, where it's way too hot), I tend to become a bit more moody during this time of the year.  I have already noticed the change in my body, even before the tempterature told me it was arriving.  I urge you to keep a watch out on your friends and family members; especially if they have any type of mental disorders.  There actually is a condition that most psychiatrists refer to as Seasonal Affective Disorder.  It affects more women than men, but the symptoms in men are oftentimes more severe.  If you start getting the "blues", then it may be a good time to consult a doctor or just try to better prepare yourself for the coming months.  Keep yourself occupied with something you enjoy... that's what I do.  I love to blog or play guitar or just spend time with my wife.  I do my best to stay strong.  I hope everyone can enjoy this Fall and I hope you all have a wonderful day.  Until next time.

Took a Break for a While...

I'm back everyone!  Sorry it took so long for me to continue my blog.  I had a strange last few months.  My mind does like to play tricks on me after all!  I just want to say that I do have a beautiful mind.  I'm not saying that in a conceited or self-righteous way, I just mean that we all do.  You have a wonderful, capable mind, regardless if you suffer from schizophrenia or if you don't suffer at all.  Society leads us to believe that if we do not conform, then we are outcasts.  Well I say: Let us be outcasts!  Let us go into the world without the inhibitions of the world.  Let go for a little while and be yourself!  Believe it or not, everyone has "crazy" thoughts every now and again.  Everyone... I guarantee it.  As long as those thoughts do not involve any physical or mental harm, then chances are, they are creative ideas. I know you've sat there daydreaming about a seemingly unconventional way to make money, or a fun party game that some people might laugh at.  We all do... heck I'll be the first to admit it.  I have been spending a lot of time making sure that people around me know that although I'm "sick", I can still think for myself... and I encourage you to do the same. Let's make this world a better place.   -Will
