Schizophrenia is a word that is funny to the EARS
Children hear it and giggle, loved ones shed TEARS.
Hospitals help the sick, and medicines are GOOD,
Illness means your body doesn’t function like it SHOULD.
Zebras like Sunshine know what MT’s brother FORGETS,
Opting out of your meds leaves your family in the PITS.
Pharmacists and doctors can help regulate Uncle SCOTT,
His mind gets scrambled and tied into a dangerous KNOT.
Research shows that medicines and therapy are a MUST,
Every family must find a doctor and counselor they TRUST.
No one was created to endure the pain of sickness ALONE,
If you are hurting badly then be sure to pick up the PHONE,
And choose to stay ALIVE by calling 1-800-273-825FIVE.
My brother Scott was diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder over 20 years ago. He has suffered alone for many years, and it is my prayer that someday soon God will open a door for my family to take him into our home. The rate of suicide is far too high for those that battle this illness. If you would ever like to talk to someone about your loved one’s battle with this disorder, please don’t hesitate to text me 386-406-7089. If you are personally battling with this illness and you are thinking about hurting yourself, please call 1-800-273-8255. You are loved. You are not alone. You are valuable. There is hope.
If you would like to help our family in providing a home for my brother Scott then please go to the GoFundMe link below and give. Any amount helps.
