I just do. I feel like it would be so good to spend some time with someone who has experienced the same things I have and who understands. Therapists don’t understand. Family doesn’t understand. They sympathize but that isn’t understanding.

I’ve been thinking about your wedding. Is it on a Saturday?? Because I have class on Saturdays. I think it’d be cool if we meet but not sure if I’d be able to get there/not be busy. Good morning turtle!!
Good morning JJ! It’s on a Thursday. I was thinking of making it the afternoon, around 3 or 4pm

Do you have to reserve voodoo doughnuts or are you just gonna show up and say “I’m getting married!!!” Or what🙃??
We have to book the wedding. I think with the number of people we will have coming we will only need to book the smaller shop and have 9 guests.
I’m not telling my father and one of my sisters until march so there’s less time for them to mobilise for it. Sneaky huh?

I met a bunch of different people with different types of diagnoses.
To be honest some of the schizophrenics at the Hospital were low functioning- they seemed out of touch completely.
I hit it off nicely with a couple of people diagnosed with SZA - bipolar and depression.
I got a few telephone numbers.
I met this really nice woman in August.
Come to think about it, she was diagnosed with Schizophrenia.
I am eventually going to call her.
I kind of had a crush on her

I’m gonna learn some computer hacking skills so I can find out who one of the forum members is and find his phone number and call him. But I don’t know if I’m smart enough to do that. 
Don’t make us paranoid!!!

I have visited a group home once for people with schizophrenia. I saw a lot of schizophrenics and they obviously suffer heavy negative symptoms since most of them was just sitting against the wall in the sun. I wanted to volunteer to see if I could start a support group. The manageress said it won’t be possible for the people are low functioning. She still encouraged me to pursue the idea and said I could make use of their facilities. … but I never had the willpower to go that far. Now I’m staying in holiday town and I think there is only a handfull of mentally ill people. There is also just one psychiatrist for the entire area

Volunteering for something like that appeals to me too. It is probably for the best if I sort my own problems first though. Still I’ll add it to my list of goals. Which means I need to make a list of goals.

I think that such a group of people will be very accomodating since everyone is keen to have social interaction and also to learn from each other and about sz.
