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 have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
