If your meds are working OK then you have an opportunity to live your life for the next ten minutes or for the next five years. I think it is important to find something in life that gives you a reason to live. For me, that is music and art. Find out what that ‘something’ is and then focus your energy on it. Don’t dwell on your problems, otherwise all your energy will be centered on the wrong thing. If you have something in life you like to do, then do it now. I don’t know how long I am here for, and I don’t want to know. However, as long as I am here I am going to make music and nothing is going to stop me. Sometimes, something might get in my way––but nothing will ever stop me. I have to have a positive outlook on life because there is no reason why I shouldn’t.
