To have Schizophrenia but to be Schizophrenic

I love this quote from rtor.org (please click the link) because I feel it is so true. I am schizophrenic and do have schizophrenia but it doesn't define me as a character nor as a person with morals, values and ethics. It doesn't tell you all my personality traits and the activities I like to participate in. It doesn't mean that I make a bad mom nor a poor sibling or daughter. Just means, like anyone else who has some kind of health condition I have to cope with it. Be the best person I can be and enjoy life just the same as anyone else. I count my blessings and am grateful for the wonderful support system I have.
