10. Fantasies

 

Fantasies can keep our minds pleasantly occupied when we are housebound due to the paranoia that accompanies our illness. Fantasizing about having lots of money and what you could do with it can fill up hours of our day giving us something to do when we are home.  It helps when surviving and managing the voices we hear in our heads. We can wake in the morning and look forward to our fantasies, and the hours we spend with them. Fantasizing gives structure to part of the day.
