Martin: “So you’ve been living out on the street for awhile?”
Jonathan: “About three years now.”
M: "Are you trying to find a place to stay?"
J: "Right now I have a program called Step Up and they’re slowly helping me out. I’m gonna have to be homeless for at least another six months but hey six months of homelessness versus just staying homeless for years or whatever, it’s good."
M: "Step Up, they only deal with you if you have mental problems?"
J: "I have schizophrenia. I’m on SSI. Social Security."
M: "Do you take the medication for it?"
J: "Well lemme tell ya, like if I did the drugs, I will have a massive freak out in about a year or two. ‘Cause every time I do that shit, it just makes it worse. I constantly suffer from hallucinations. So like I can live with it. I know that half the shit that I’m seeing is not really there. But if I do drugs then it just makes it like… It takes me out of the picture and I don’t really feel like I’m doing anything. I don’t feel like I’m in my body being me. You know what I’m saying? It’s hard to explain.” .
