Hi - I'm sorry I wasn't around earlier.

I'm sorry also that you're having a really hard time right now.

I hear what you're saying about the fast food job. My son, who has schizophrenia (triggered by heavy-duty drug use 2 & 3 years ago & which I'm still sort of 'in denial' about - the schiz; not the drug use) has tried different part-time jobs over the past year & a bit. Working in a fast food place might SEEM really easy, but it can actually be very stressful. I hope you aren't being too hard on yourself about the fact that this would be really stressful for you.

I agree with fayeroe about a stocking job maybe being a good type of job.

I applaud you for knowing that your sanity & staying off drugs & alcohol are the very most important things. I hope that you might have some support in this in a 12-step group, or some other type of support group...maybe there'd be something available through the hospital. Come to think of it, I know that there are on-line support groups that have online meetings. I accidentally interrupted one once, when I was trying to find support groups in case my son was interested. They seemed like REALLY nice people. Ask me, if you're interested & I can ask my daughter (she told me of it in the first place - it wasn't 12-step exactly).

Like fayeroe, I wonder if you've discussed these things that you mentioned, with your brother/sister-in-law. Do you feel comfortable talking with them? Do you feel more comfortable with one of them than with the other?

I'm keeping you in my thoughts. I care about you. I am impressed that you're making a sincere, brave project of going forward in a positive way with your life.

I'm glad you're talking here about how you're feeling & what's going on for you.

I can't remember if you were also thinking of doing volunteer work...sorry, my memory isn't good.

Keep us up-to-date on how things are for you, okay?

much love & caring thoughts, Kath
