I been crying over what this illness has done to me and eveything its robbed me of.
To be sure, schizophrenia is a real mother of an illness. Are you either taking meds, or in therapy? Or both?
Yeah I have a psychiatrist and psychologist. I never been in a group. Do groups help? And yeah im taking 2 mg risperdal and depakote
Sometimes? It kinda depends. I was once in a group therapy environment about 3 years ago on an outpatient basis. I melted down in group because I was hearing voices that everyone in the group was plotting to kill me at lunch time, and I hastily arranged with the director to go home early and never come back. They were not equipped to handle me, and I couldn’t relate to their problems of anxiety, OCD, and other issues. I guess what I’m trying to say is if you want to do group therapy, find one that is tailored towards schizophrenia.
