At the moment, I am still reading “Amadeo Bordiga in the Italian Communist Party” by Agustín Guillamón. Additionally, I have started “Anatomy of an Epidemic” by Robert Whitaker, which critiques the solutions that current psychiatry proposes in Western societies; it specifically focuses on the United States.

Now I am reading ‘Amadeo Bordiga in the Italian Communist Party’ by Agustín Guillamón. I recently finished ‘What Is to Be Done?’ by Lenin.

Try “El túnel” by Ernesto Sabato. As far as I remember, it doesn’t have a very complex vocabulary. However, the story it tells has a message that can be analyzed from somewhat more complex perspectives.

Hey! Cheer up, man, little by little you’ll get better. And I know it’s hard to do, but try not to worry so much about what others think. It’s a small piece of advice that, in some way, has worked for me.

Good song. I like it. Now I’m listening to the full album and it is very good. I love their influences.

I also think that I don’t have schizophrenia. When I was diagnosed, I was scared. I was afraid because I have always been an activist; with everything I’ve seen about police brutality, I thought it would happen to me. I thought I was being pursued by the police forces. I believe that paranoia is somewhat logical. On the other hand, I think my negative symptoms are more a consequence of my anxiety and depression. Since I was a child, around 13 or 14 years old, I have had social anxiety and a tendency towards sadness. I don’t believe that at 13 I was already sick with schizophrenia. I have never had hallucinations (neither auditory nor visual). Just “logical” paranoia and self-referential thoughts (which could be caused by social phobia). The issue is that since I started taking antipsychotics, I began to notice symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome. What makes me doubt is that there are people who have “denial of illness” and have a worse prognosis; I hope I am not one of those people. Nevertheless, I follow my treatment to the letter. Now I am fine; the only thing that makes it difficult for me to lead a normal daily life is the irritable bowel syndrome. From here, I want to send encouragement to all of you who are in the same situation. We will get through this with struggle, I am sure. A hug.

Me too. I started smoking cannabis and drinking alcohol until I got sick with schizophrenia; it was then that I had to stop using cannabis. Now I occasionally drink beer; but above all, I consume a lot of caffeine, in my case in the form of energy drinks.

I have read “The State and Revolution.” Now I am reading “What Is to Be Done?” Both books by Lenin.

I read in Spanish because it is the language I am most proficient in. Sometimes, I also read in Catalan.

Right now I am reading “Hegemony and Socialist Strategy” by Ernesto Laclau and Chantal Mouffe. Just a few days ago, I finished the book “Workers’ Councils” by Anton Pannekoek (5/5).
