But this article is so engaging. Your condition sounds like something the rest of us couldnt even imagine tryna deal with and ontop of that, doing relief efforts in Afghanistan is so amazingly admireable and selfless. Reading your story has reminded me that there is a whole world outside of my current life and as a 17 year old thats a pretty rare thing to think about. I wish you all the best for the future, keep on being inspirational =) Im not sure how i managed to stumble upon this story or even this website. But this article is so engaging.

I do not know your illness, however I have a cousin who has a very bad case of scitzophrenia. He will lapse into periods where the reality he sees and hears is not anyone else's. This usualy just serves to frusterate, depress, or scare him. Unfortuantly for him though it sometimes makes him very very violent (and he is a big guy). I am glad you can deal with these issues yourself and maintain a life unlike him.
