Well I made it through the night but got a little tired today, I am starting to exercise so that may have something to do with it. The reason I am looking for a message board like this one is because I have desired to talk to schizophrenic survivors since I've been sick about 1993, since that time I've only been hospitalized twice last year both times, in my previous article I mentioned my hospitalization and going through it the second time last year changed me I think. Meeting people has always been hard and going to any group for mental health issues has not paid off. My doctor is fantastic, though I've had a few who weren't. My point is I guess that I really never discuss some of the issues I face in my life with people outside of my doctor and family. I am one of those people who feels alone. I really have tackled a lot and survived on stress relief from being unemployed for many months. And now I am thinking of going back to school. I know the internet is a means to communicate and such I have used it thus to sell records on ebay but I have tried to sell art as well but I really don't socialize with the chat rooms or anything and unfortunately my illnese has left me very lonely and other than close family no outside contacts. I would like to use this as a means to get outside chats with different people about my troubles and hopefully I can meet some people whom I feel I can connect with, thanks.
