A day in the life of schizophrenia

Hello ladies on this awesomely orange day (seems like its the color of choice today huh? Lol Go O's! I'm a football fan but I cheer on both Baltimore birds :) 

This morning we were offered a wonderful educational experience to try  and walk around with voices playing in our heads (mp3 prayers and headsets) to simulate how it would be for a patient suffering this day to day might feel. Phew. That was certainly an experience. Sometimes all it takes is to step into someone's shoes for us to see how we should care for our patients. With the negativity of the voices, the anxiety it drew out of all of us, the misunderstandings in conversations...while it was all fun and good between us classmates I can't imagine having that negativity cloud your thoughts every minute. That aside, it was a great break from lecture and an opportunity to increase awareness on campus even!

Check us out :)
