Schizophrenia is a mental disorder characterized by significant alterations in perception, thoughts, mood, and behaviour. The name comes from the Greek words skhizein meaning 'to split' and phren which means 'mind'—so to say, it means a split mind between reality and imagination.
Aside from what my psychiatrist said, I'd done some readings about it too.
Schizophrenia have three symptoms category: the positive, negative and cognitive symptoms. Positive symptoms meaning things adding—delusions, hallucinations, paranoid thoughts, disorganized speech or word salad and catatonic behaviour. While negative symptoms mean things lacking—feeling socially withdrawn, apathy, and loss of interest. And lastly the cognitive symptoms which covers disorganized thinking, gaps in memory and other signs of mental dysfunction.
My doctor said that my condition could still be managed by psychotic drugs since it had only been going on for less than four months. And there was a high possibility for me to recover if I take my meds religiously—which I did. And aside from it, I also attended at least one session with my psychiatrist a week for counselling and to monitor how I react with the treatment.
Ilang linggo na akong naroon sa bahay dahil ayaw akong payagan nina Mommy na sa apartment manatili. They wanted to keep me close to monitor how I'm doing, base na rin sa rekomendasyon ng doktor.
The news about my accident reached the campus. But I doubt that anyone of them knew my real condition because Stephanie's death overshadowed it.
Hindi pa rin ako makapaniwala sa mga nangyari hanggang ngayon. And even though I haven't been in the campus, I was still updated from the events happening there. Partly because the news about Steph's death was all over Willow Grove and social medias at dahil in-add ako ni Cali sa GC nila—which included Terrence, Mike, Dina and him. The latter made it for a purpose I couldn't be sure of. Puros siya lang naman ang dumadaldal doon at si Mike. At ang madalas nilang pag-usapan ay tungkol sa mga balita sa campus.
I was wondering if they had a separate GC with their guy friends where they're free to talk about their hoes. But that was the least of my concern with everything that had been happening so never mind.
Cali sent an uncensored picture of Steph's body on the crime scene and I literally puked after seeing it. Mabilis naman niya iyong binura nang magreklamo si Mike at Dina. I didn't know where he got it pero sana'y hindi na lang niya i-s-in-end pa.

Michael:
Wth did u mean with 'haunted' Cal
Cali:
Aren't we all haunted in the campus?
You think what happened to Steph is normal?
Bro, you saw it. Her face is fucked up!
Who's sane person would do something like that?
Michael:
The whole thing is already giving me the creeps
Don't make it worse
We aren't in a fcking slasher movie
Cali:
Isipin niyo nga, the killer hasn't been caught yet
The perpetrator could be anyone within the campus!
Paano kung kilala pala natin?
Michael:
