How have your political views changed over time?
I used to feel like life was a constant battlefield of people working against their fellow human beings for shallow and somewhat surface level reasons. I felt under attack by society and politicians, by the bullies who tormented me (and very importantly also tormented my father before me) and racist ideologies like the extreme far-right persons I have encounter either offline or on online forums. And much of my fears and my own worldview was influenced by my past experiences and my untreated schizoaffective condition, along with undiagnosed Asperger syndrome as well.
When I got treatments for my schizoaffective condition my worldview changed over time partly because I now saw different aspects of political themes, how we can work together and fight for true justice. I also had more space within my mind to form independent opinions with clarity and especially the voice-hearing got less severe and disabling, the voices drain your spirits heavily and this really changed with time.
So I’m a fighter spirit but with faith in our world.
