A week in my life living with schizophrenia: a chatty and simple week in my life 📖 🥗🇸🇪 

About your history program: the 10-15 years are going to pass anyway. Why not pass them doing something you love, that makes your life passionate? If there is a program available in Sweden that can accommodate your pace, I hope you will give it some serious consideration. I am disabled and everything takes me two or three times longer than before my illness. I'm working on a second master's degree and it will probably take me 6 years instead of 3. Do I care? Yes, sometimes. Sometimes it reminds me of my limitations and I feel sad or insecure. Most of the time I don't care. I'm going to live these next 6 years, so I will live them studying my passion and meeting academic peers.

Seeing you happy inspires me to live well and try my best!

There is also the option to be a citizen-historian. You can become an expert on any topic without a degree. It depends if your goal includes work that is restricted to people with degrees. It took me 7 years to finish my undergraduate degree. That was actually too fast for me, and I burned myself out very badly. 😮‍💨 I would keep looking for part-time options. That helped me so much when I started uni. I know you will find the best option for you, no matter how long it takes! I love your painting! I was super impressed when you showed it. I really want to get some watercolors. I used to play with acrylic paints, but they dry out way too fast and make too much mess for me!

Your hair is so pretty! I always like watching your videos, so relaxing.

it's always a treat seeing your videos! from one schizophrenic to another, you deserve a fabulous life :) :D

Hi Kimberly! I just loved this vlog, I say that a lot, lol, but this one I feel like you are doing well, and you look really good. I can relate to wanting to get it the "first time", when I do something new, but thats my perfectionism. I dont think anyone, especially artists, even the famous ones, get it right the first time. But I understand the angst and frustration for sure. I feel like you are in a process of figureing out what you want to do with your life, and Im sure if you keep on exploring things, you will figure it out. I like the painting you did and for a first try I think its good, and Im not just saying that, I mean it. Ive learned its always about the process and practice practice practice. UGH Not always what I want to do. Again, I love your cooking and the pasta salad looked scrumptious. Im very glad you have your mom and sister in your life, they seem to be so helpful. We all need some support. And loved your kitty in the box! 😍🤗💛💜😘 Hugs from Mary Ann in the US . . .😍

Good to see you chatty and happy! Edward looks happy too in the background.

Watching you is such a joy❤️ wishing you a nice day Kim.❤️

That's lovely, I like it!

Love the vlog! I’m in a similar situation to you and this year I started an online degree part time, it’s definitely more manageable than full time. I have to write my assignment next week which I’m nervous about. Your cats are so cute! Have you thought about doing an online course? I know there’s places like The Open University which are good and you can study history 😊

i just bought a book of my favorite kpop group, filled with pictures of my favorite member. the most gorgeous pictures and funny other things included. and i love it. i am very proud that i bought something for myself. that makes me smile when i am struggling so much. BUT you can bet i will HIDE IT AWAY if guests come over 😄 😭 i am just scared of being judged as the people in my life don't like kpop 😄 💕

Great vlog!😁

Where's the nerdy shirt?!?!?

Oil takes time but for yr first one it is lovely

I wonder if you have tried the keto diet.... Just mentioning it incase you haven't looked into it... Watch Lauren's channel "living well with schizophrenia" it made me want to try it her schizophrenia symptoms have almost gone and her meds are minimal... I'm trying it 2 weeks in but also it's no sugar or carbs and great for diabetics I think? I recently put on 25kgs and in 2 weeks on the diet I lost 4kgs its good for that too.... Anyway mentioning these things it always sounds crazy cook type stuff but it's really worth just a try and I'm reading a keto book right now maybe worth knowing about at the least if you have mental health challenges.... Thanks sorry if it does sound like a stupid idea but I'm trying it 2 weeks in for me 🙂
