      @Isaac-Vargas-Cardenas Nice self portrait! There is so much expression in that eye, you can really tell that he is deep in thought. I am glad you are doing well and I imagine that your art is great therapy! Keep working at it!! 😀👍

          @Isaac-Vargas-Cardenas nice self portrait - I'd very much imagine schizophrenia feels like you're living with demons. I'm very glad to hear you're doing well with it.

          It runs in my family and my younger brother has it actually - he's not doing as well with it, even after 12+ years, and it's hard on everyone. But there is hope so we don't give up. I wish my bro was into art, it certainly would be a great outlet!

          One comment on your illustration - the left eye is in complete darkness so it looks like you're wearing an eye patch instead of it just being in shadow.

            @DanetteDraws yeah sometimes it can be like hell but they say people like us get to be smarter than the promedy , I actually use the same method as John Nash to get rid of my hallucinations , I learned it by myself, I had the condition ever since I was 8 years old so I don't have much of a sense of how it is like to be normal, I've fighted this for over 20 years now, and yeah perhaps I look like I'm wearing an eyepatch , thanks for the observation 🙂

              when someone draws something about their life you can't help but to be able to feel it. I really like how you show the experience through the eye, and the glaze at no distance. It's the feel of timeless.

                @Naroth-Cow thanks 🙂 I guess there's only one way to help people with mental diseases , the help can be spreading the word about what a mental disease really is, because most people portrays us like drolling lunatics, and we are not like that. People with schizophrenia isn't (at the most larger percentage) dangerous to anyone and will not hurt anybody but themselves, in fact I have 3 failed suicidal attempts, but I never tried to hurt someone else, I like very much your comment about the timeless part 🙂 greetings from Mexico

                  @Isaac-Vargas-Cardenas I would like to see some of your positive work, stuff that inspires you. I understand about painting being therapy, I have suffered from depression, my art, and religion was my way out of it. Keep you head up and keep painting.

                  Never give up, always push yourself two steps further than you believe you can go.

                    @Steve-Young well in fact religion and therapy have helps me a lot out of this, I'm sorry to hear from you suffering depression, I, like almost any schizophrenic suffer from it as well because the condition has so many affective disorders that being depressed is almost a natural state of mind for me, but I'm glad to hear you use your great art as therapy, thanks for the comment 🙂 I'll try to upload more positive stuff

                      @Isaac-Vargas-Cardenas my depression is caused by chronic pain, fatigue and brain fog, it has stopped me working, art is the only thing I am able to do for any period of time. There is a lot of time i am unable to do anything. That frustrates me, though I am becoming more able to do reading and sketching, that made me more positive.

                            @Steve-Young well that makes two of us , at least we know that there are more people with our conditions, and that they keep fighting, best of regards
