I can tell you have done art for a long period of time. I am doing better. The illness is lifelong being indifferianted schizophrenia but I am learning to manage it and accept my life will be different than originally planned. Art does soothe my brain in a way and then I also like to draw some of the things I see and hear to share them with others because some of it is beautiful, interesting, or so different from what I normally see the world as that I am like wow. Maybe we should look into that or just offer a glimpse of what goes on through a psychotic mind that isn't violent. I am not a violent mentally ill person so there's not much research or data into the nonviolent psychotic illness. I would like there to be more awareness of the illness too. People hear the word schizophrenic and instantly fear or panic on some level. But I find it's more like dementia on most days. My husband and children have been my rocks through the illness and I have a pretty fulfillling life. Lots of children to love, middle class in America, s nice home, good transportation, medical care if needed, I have lots to be thankful for and to cherish. I noticed you draw seashells a lot in your patterns... do they represent something like the triangles did?
