Floyd’s Story

My name is Floyd.  I am involved in the out‑patient system of a Toronto Hospital.  My story is one where I was often misunderstood and circumstances led to an uphill climb.

At an early age, I had trouble learning to walk and ride a bike.  When these were overcome, they were great accomplishments to me.  My schooling was difficult and I had trouble getting along.  By my mid‑twenties, I was diagnosed with schizophrenia.  My work history had just began and staying at it and keeping regular attendance was difficult.

After many ups and downs, I came to St. George House which is part of LOFT Community Services.  Here my intellectual skills developed.  I took an interest in philosophy, history, psycho‑social skills, and religion.  Receiving medication at the right level and informed staff helped with the questions and answers and role modeling.

I learned to trust my mind to love and accept others and myself.  Through this opportunity with others, I hope to become fully interdependent and functional in society.
