How did you come across this forum?

I know I’ve been coming here since 1998, back when I was a tech working at Red Deer College. I was at my first good full-time job and looking for other high-functioning SZs who could help me balance the stress of full-time work with the sedation and fatigue of being med-compliant.

I think this is the third version of forum software the site has been using while I’ve been a regular. The first was utterly awful. The second was sort of awful. This one isn’t bad, but I really wish it had a feature allowing for complete blocking of problem users.

Edit: I had a full-time job before RDC, but it was not a “good” job by any stretch. I’m looking forward to my former boss’ funeral. He should be old enough to kick off soon, the rat.

I was an active member from the original site and followed the links to the new site.
I basically switched over.

I just was researching about Schizophrenia when I found this forum on Google, I was hesitant to join for some time until I began having problems that I felt people here understood and made me feel less weird or awkward about sharing my experiences.
