What's Happening Now
2002. I was really going crazy thinking ppl was stairing at me and laughing. Thinking ppl was following me all the time. I stopped taking my all my meds and ended up in a intitute for which i don't know how long. I know my husband and little girl really missed me. I am a little bity better now but not much cause when i go in stores i don't like to be left alone or i can't stand annoying sounds that really angers me. I was diagnosed with Schizophenia. I scared the hell out my daughter when she was young telling her that i would lock us both in my bed room and set the house on fire and don't remember. I fell like the worse person on earth. Right now i listen to my doctors and take my meds, but I am very scared that i will go back to the way i was in those dark years of my life. I had to keep on having HIV test done cause in my mind I thought i had the desease and no one could convince me that i did'nt. I do not get the meaning of life. What is the real purpose of being here? I am 47 years old and suprisingly my daughter turned out to be a wonderful 17 year old cause her father has always been there for her. Now I am there for her to she let me into her wonderful life. I look up to God cause he is our savior. I just wish i knew why i was here on this earth. And why i don't understand that at all.View Thread

But I had issues with good and evil, which was frightening.
Has your friend seen a psychiatrist?View Thread

If your aunt was in the psychiatric ward, did she get discharge planning?
As much as we love our relatives, we must take care of ourselves first. Four weeks is a long time to be in a battle.
I wish you the best of luck.View Thread

Ok, my brother (30) was diagnosed a few years ago w/Schizophrenia. He is currently serving a 25-30 yr sentence he recieved for doing acts of which "voices" in his head told him to do, according to my brother. My brother & I come from a completely broken background & this last January, our mom suddenly passed away. I believe this had a major effect on my brother but idk yet. So, the prison he has been at is about 10 hours away from the city I live in. In the middle of my city is the State Penitentiary. My brother was transferred to the state pen about a month ago. My sister told me they moved him here because he has become unresponsive & they want to run tests to see why this has happened & they want him closer to family. My question IS, WHAT exactly does this mean "he has become unresponsive"? Can ANYBODY give me ANY kind of info or point me towards a website that could explain this to me, please!!!???????????? It would be VERY MUCH APPRECIATED!
Thank YouView Thread
I almost joined a Zyprexa class action lawsuit, but the lawyers wanted so much that it seemed like a deal with the devil.
You look great for someone over 60 years of age.
I hope you are triumphant.View Thread
If I didn't have to take medication, I wouldn't, but I do so that I can be sane and deal with the joys and challenges of my life.
All the best to you.View Thread
