My friends keep asking me when my husband and I are going to start trying to have kids–like it's a simple question of desire.

But it's not about desire. My life with schizophrenia is about survival.

I wish they would just stop asking instead of forcing me to confront and comfort them through discussing the deep pain and complication that is a dream I don't even know I can have.
