Well, I had a lot of success with cognitive behavior therapy, CBT. And one of the things that that does is it asks you to examine your thinking and identify mistakes that you're making in your own thinking, like overgeneralization or black and white thinking. My mother's either healthy or she's not healthy. She's either good or she's bad.

Overgeneralization is because my mother has stains on her blouse, that means that she's mentally inferior. That's not true, right? That's what's going on in my head. So I had to confront it and say, look, I have stains on my shirt sometimes I don't know about. I know a lot of people have stains on their clothing that I love, that I respect.

So it's like, you know, so I had to bring that up and consciously say that to myself. You don't even know why she has those stains on her clothes. Maybe she couldn't get them out. Maybe she tried to get them out right before the dinner. I mean, I don't have any background or context. I might even go in there, and I should.

Even if the stains are a symptom of her schizophrenia, the truth is, is that I love my mother deeply, and she gave me many gifts, and I can appreciate her when I'm with her. I can actively appreciate her when I'm with her.

I see a couple of things. One is that I see some kind of activity that spreads around the United States that's like storytelling and story listening. where people have an opportunity to be candid and honest with each other in caring ways about the people in their lives who have challenges with their mental health. That's everything from mild anxiety all the way up to serious mental illness, right?

It's everything from brain conditions where the person is perfectly healthy, like many of the folks who have autism, to people who have a brain that is in need of something. It's an imbalance in there, like my mother's schizophrenia. She did really well with medication.
