Hi, I had my first hospitalization in 2011 after returning from a visit to one ex who was doing Erasmus and since then I had a really difficult time accepting the medication and the fact that I have a psychiatric illness, abandoning the medication several times before I started taking Invega Sustenna one year ago.
Because of my reluctance with the medication I had four hospitalizations after my first one, but have been psych ward free for a little more than a year, which is nice. I’ve been visiting the forum from the outside for some weeks now and finally decided to join in.
I’m currently waiting to be accepted as a volunteer at a support/help line and am diagnosed with schizophrenia despite the fact that my pdoc says it can be something else.
Hope I have time to keep visiting the forum, eitherways decided do sign up and say something, I’ve really been enjoying sneaking up on you peeps

If you can survive the awful jokes from me and @77nick77, your schizophrenia will seem like a breeze by comparison!

@Minnii I’ll write to you in english for the sake of the forum, what are your thoughts on the game later? I already decided that if we win I’ll go throw something in the river near my house to support our captain!

Lol! Do that 
For the sake of good sportsmanship I will be rooting for both countries.
I don’t know, our team is playing well but only scores under pressure and Croatia has a great gameplay so far.
I talk ■■■■ about Ronaldo but I secretly love him lol
I’ve been watching the last matches with my brother in law and he’s a Messi fanboy, so I have to keep up with him dissing Ronaldo the entire 90 minutes.
I think he secretely loves Ronaldo too but just doesn’t want to admit it ahah
