My own experience in the Komunitas Penderita Skizophrenia Indonesia really amazes me because many things! Their test can be like a testimony for me.

Many of them experience in other mental health support group. They also share about their experiences and why my community is a great compared to that other community.

1 Encourgament

You really need to search for encouragement in the mental health community. Most of them usually just share what they are currently feeling with their symptoms. Encouragement can motivate you and make you better.

2 Feeling accepted

In a mental illness community, you really need to feel accepted. Because many of the people, especially in my country don’t accept people with mental illness. It is important to feel that you’re accepted and welcomed in a mental illness community.

3 Share of information

For many, mental illness community is a source of information that provide needed information for a certain mental illness. It is important because you need to know first then treat your mental illness. Like the symptoms and place to get the care that you need for a certain mental illness.

4 Share of experience

You need a mental illness community that share each other’s experiences for your mental health. Some maybe experiencing the early symptoms of the illness and some already quite stable. It is important that your mental illness community that share each other experience.

This is my update on how it's been going and the significant impact it has had on my mental health. For a long time, my doctor has advised me to exercise, but I have always found myself being lazy and putting it off. Exercise seemed like a daunting task, especially when struggling with the symptoms of paranoid schizophrenia.

Remarkably, my symptoms of paranoid schizophrenia have diminished, even after my doctor reduced my nighttime medication from 400 to 300 milligrams. This reduction in medication was a milestone for me, and I believe that my commitment to physical activity played a cru...
