Do you wish you had more schizophrenia friends?

me neither…i am gonna the doctor on next appointment.

Since I’ve come to realize how difficult I have been sometimes I realize it’s difficult spending time with me. I have put my family through a lot of crap over the years and would probably not want to live with another schizophrenic. I have had a fewer higher functioning ones and have met some people in the Psych Ward who were being medicated at the time who weren’t bad to hang out with. However I once roomed with a guy in the hospital who refused to take the medicine and thought the CIA was spying on him and quoted the same verses of the Bible over and over again. For all I know he may still be there because his mother was paying for the treatment. He was also manic and once was walking around the room in the middle of the night talking his head off. As annoying as he was I found myself spending a good portion of my time with him and my other roomie there. I don’t really know if this guy was schizophrenic but it was his 3rd month there. He had plans of starting a coffee company if he ever got out and his fears of obesity caused him to consume nothing but coffee. I hope they straightened him out and I hope he got over his anger at his mother for keeping him there and is spending this holiday with his family but I don’t know what happened to him. I met other people with mental illnesses in Psych Wards this year as well but don’t need the company that bad to go back to one without a better reason then socialization. I have also met a few mentally ill people at this apartment. At this point I need to have more going for me before I have a lot of friends because the latest news story, the weather situation, cleaning up my apartment, or replacing a light bulb doesn’t make for good conversation really.

Did not get involved with it much here. Clinics,day program, hangouts, support groups just wanted to lower someone down, down, down. …Clinic trashed lots of them and there is no helping anyone. Honestly, this city has been so unhealthy even some of the normals, especially male, would screw their own family if demanded… Have tons of Churched people who run around screwing people, harassing, stealing and bothering schizo. Who is ill? Hard to tell as the older some of these people get, the lower they will go to be left alone by local harassment/psych symptoms…Thank god for facebook, could go back to the people I knew who were okay and not worry too bad after finding a few who have sunk too low when they lost it, and I just avoid these as I’ve been screwed enough times.

I was told by military, this is common of smaller cities when something is going wrong, Employment gets so bad with so many formal normals who cracked, went over to dark side it’s impossible to work female or NORMAL around some and employers will screw anyone up, no unemployment and no med leave – just lots of bad employers and bad scams, no legal assistance. Get noticed by police and get psych hold for complaining about being bothered by the strangers after you piss off someone after running through messed up employment/school situation.

Sorry, kind of tangent.

My city is predictable scam so you can be thrown out of business networking (black balled) and screwed into taking service work if you piss off someone high enough in the networks…Can be decently good if you move down the road, keep quiet and just work. Sometimes if you are still being bothered by strangers verbally harassing you (thought broadcasters), can be tortured every time you move and run through more employment/housing scams, screwed worse.
