You know I have skitsophrania but I'm a parent too. Two of my kids have had trouble. One who needed meds and another who just went crazy when his brother died. Just take it one day at a time and keep telling them it's not real.

My son is 21 and was diagnosed 2 years ago. I am not quite sure if I can help, but I sure can listen and understand... Will read your journal entries and put any comments that might be useful. Just hang in there and love - there are just some things that are beyond your control.

Thank you all, and nice to see you again, Carla:)

Saber, I found Louise, or rather, she found me! She's been a great help.

Did you hear that, Louise?;) You've been a great help!

Vicki, I really feel for you. Life is hard enough for those of us who are just extremely neurotic. My prayers are with you:) Good luck and Thank you.

Thank you all!

Susie, I've added you to my friends. Please drop me a note and don't be offended if it takes me a few days to get back to you. I'm a full time college student and it's crunch time!

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
