So this is what it's called. I've seen some years prior, but I couldn't remember the goddamn title.

It's interesting, don't care for the ending... lying and hiding your disorder does NOT make it go away.

Am I the only one who liked it when the thug cop beat him up? I mean, he was a thieving punk, mental illness or no.

Have to wonder, if his schizophrenia is so bad he's seeing people as horrible monsters, how does he know here their stuff is?

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Probably muscle memory. People tend to keep their stuff in the same spot. Back or inside pocket for wallet, front pocket for keys

Loved it from start to beginning, but I don't know if this was completely about a mental illness. Maybe am addiction? Still, this is awesome

So...you only like the beginning?

I thought he stole keys to get his freedom -- to unlock him from his slavery.

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Yeah but he also stole wallets and money.

Ah yes, the motivational story of how if you don't find love you are doomed forever. Or did I miss the point of this?

That's not helping my personal little mental illness any further, no.

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

The fact that this seems to be the morale of the story, I mean.

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

I didn't read it as "otherwise you're doomed forever" but yeah would be nice if they tried an ending less cliche

9 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 0

Can confirm, doomed is the technically correct term.

Seriously though, good recommendation OP.

Also love can cure schizophrenia, which, as a mental health professional, is fucking bull.

It's like they never saw "A Beautiful Mind".

Hooray for fellow mental health professionals on Imgur!

I mean, he still had it. His hallucinations just changed. Which, I don't know, but I imagine is still bullshit. It is nice, though.

Love can actually worsen the symptoms ;_; That's sad. Love, a crazy person.

9 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

Yeah. As a cop I've seen loving families torn apart by it. Calling 911 on someone you love is tough.

Fellow student had a schizophrenic brother, she had horrible stories of what he pulled on his parents and on her. =/

Does anyone know the last song the one where he's sitting alone in the cafe

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

I was wondering that too. Kind of reminded me of something I once heard by Imogen Heap (I think), but I haven't found anything.

I found it it's called Bella solitude by Mia fluxxx
