Hello new here

I’ve been diagnosed with schizophrenia for 27 years. Initially I was fairly out going, now into a reclusive phase. Sitting here blank, can’t think of much to say other than hello. Finding this site good for information about medications, and also reading other people’s posts which I can identify with.
Just hoping I don’t turn paranoid and delete my post.
Anyway I think I may need this forum.

Cool!

There’s some young bucks here and older folks like myself (I’m 49). Quite the mix fer sure.

I hope you enjoy your stay with us. Just stick with the topics and posters that suit your fancy and don’t be shy about expressing yourself. Most everyone here is empathetic and thoughtful to your situation.

We’re all in this sz boat together!

Music seems to be a big part of this site…I guess it goes with the affliction perhaps.

I can be a bit of a ‘rascal’ at times, but don’t take it personally. I’m just a big kid at heart. :smile:

Hello @Username, i was diagnosed schizoaffective a few years back. You’re lucky usually diagnoses change as the person grows and changes.

Hi cbbrown thanks for the welcome.

I was explaining to a co-worker of mine about the paranoia I had associated with my schizophrenia so he says…

Co-worker: “Then I guess you can’t watch football on TV”

Me: “Why is that?”

Co-worker: “Because you think all of the players are talking about you in the huddle!”

LOL!!!

(Funny thing is, though…he’s not far off!)

Be welcome here.

(Some of the posts here are support, some advice, some whimsy and entertainment, some are just off the wall, and some are worth paying close attention to.)
