I just posted a couple of replies to two topics and saw on my profile that someone (white tiger) asked where I went. I'm not sure where I've been but have been communicating telepathically with my neighbors through the wall...,insane!!! I finally realized that I am seriously isolated since leaving this group adn my senior citizen lunch time group, due to halluncaitons and and suspiscions.....I need a place to talk so here I am again. I can't afford therapy but have a very understandig psyhciatrist who gives me meds scripts every two months...money is a big problems with me...and I spend to make me feel happy. I would much rather be in contact with your guys here so I'lll say "HELLO AGAIN!!" Good that you're all here.

P.S. I have been involved with an online book publishing workshop and am informed that my book needs to be FOUR TIMES longer to attract a literary agent so am slowly, very slowly working on it..I am also irresponsibly bought 8 biweekly jazz piano lessons and feel stupid but maybe I'll learn something, meanning not jsut the piano but how to not spend my way into supposed happiness!!!! Glad to be back !!

Hey, thanks for all the support and welcoming back. I will adopt the name "MaxH" if that's okay. I have yet to meet the new "Max" here. Today I struggled to get to a (almost any one) church and ended up in my local diner with a cup of coffee and a knosh...it served it's purpose and tomorrow I will start going to the senior center lunches regularly during the workweek. I get paranoid there occasionally (so many REAL voices in one room gets to be confusing to make sense out of....maybe there ISN"T any sense to it all anyway)...but I will share my meals with some of the older citizenry, mostly women, who live longer than their male mates, I am told. Happy Sunday to all. MaxH,

Yes, it's inevitable, even at the age of 70 to view the world, mostly the feminine world, thought hungry 35 year-old eyes...all to no success...and I feel the women are watching as much as well..My last relationship was 15 years ago, and I can't for the life of me, remember what Idid during those 15 years of hibernation...frustration rules....good insight, Humun....

I am watching the extended version of "Dragon Tattoo" on Netflix. Great stuff !! A bit violent in one part but the overwall feeling is of intense intrigue and thrill...got me up thinking about how I willl expand my book, which is a memoir of the time of untreated psychosis and homelessness. Not the most favorite memories I would like to write about but my hope is that someone willl get something from it, if publsihed, and maybe some little funds for myself and those who have aided me as readers and editors...I wouldn't be surprised if it took me another year to finish...but, God, now I'm involuntarily retired..good use of time, just need courage...I will see how I can handle it....thanks for listening. ..MaxH

P.S. I must admit the memoir, extending it, is a bit too much for me emotionally at this time, I think....but I do have plans to ficitonalize that time into a novel with various people with whom I went through that period of my life.....sorry to go on about this....it is a major use of my time and energy..

Thanks for that, "White Tiger"...I was just struggling with the memoir this morning and found it impossible. But I already have some ideas for a ficionalized version....AND in a couple of hours I go to the local Senior Center for its weekday luncheons after isolating myself for so long. There is tons of noise and many people so I hope I will be able to handle it without "losing" my thoughts and coming home feeling my brain has been massaged away..I think it is the best thing to do as I also have noticed that my hallucinations have lessened since I have returned to this site. This is an area where suspicion and paranoia abound....just beginning to see the connection between distrust and paranoia.... Thanks, all...Glad you think I'm still young. The need to rest has increased but I am about to go out for a walk to see if I can gradually get physically stronger and less fatigue....later gators...
