It was so nice and comforting to hear his voice.
But we both agreed to raise my citalopram (celexa). I’m still not feeling very well. Will it take a few days for the chemistry in my brain to adjust?
Thank you.

Glad you heard from your doctor.
It will take some time (weeks) before you start feeling full effect @Montezuma.
But it takes days to adjust usually.

Ahhh I see. 
Thank you the reply @Wave. I wish I had some Sz or Sza friends that I could hang out with.

You can go to group meetings and make some new friends!
Good luck with the med!!
Honestly I went once. I think I should go again too. The meeting was not really helpful but there was some nice people there

Thank you @MissMermaid. I have a few friends I call a lot. Although I think they get tired of hearing about my problems 
since they aren’t mi. (at least not diagnosed with anything).
There’s only one meeting nearby me, and it’s mainly for bipolar.
Take care.
Edited to add:
You should!

yeah I worry about it too. It gets horrible sometimes. =( I am glad I have kept it a secret for most part, so I can not talk about it.

Does it get difficult keeping it all in though? 
I wish I never told anyone in my apartment complex or at my school. Now a lot of people that I went to high school with and other people in my city know me as the “sz dude.” Oh well.

It is even weirder. None of my classmates know. One knows I have anxiety I guess.
One colleague once told me on Facebook that one of my classmates (a guy I really liked) got scza 
and I was so upset and he seemed so emotional about it too. They were/are best friends. He had no clue I was scza too.
Only very few people know. Maybe my colleagues figured out something too. Who knows?
I don’t think it is bad for people to know, as long as they know actually what it is and comprehend that it is not something to be mocked and laughed at.

hi Montezuma. Me, i told it almost to everyone around me and now i realize that its not so good…Its schocking for the normies… i am dumb, the stigma out there is important.
but for me too it was difficult to keep it in me.
its great that your doc called you, its a nice thing :).

Yeah most of the younger people that know about it are cool with me, I think they’re a little more educated about it and Mi.
Some of the older people that live around me though tend to treat me pretty weird. Some of them are really nice to me though. Is what it is.
Did your colleague and the guy you went to school with remain friends? In spite of the illness? I’m sorry if that’s too personal, but I was just curious.

Hi @Anna1 I had the same problem before too. Now I’ve learned disclosure. Some people believe if you keep something a secret it hurts everyone, but I don’t think that applies to mi.
But I thank you for your reply 
no, the mi scare the people… i was just alone and ill. i still want to say it to others but i try not to do it…

I have no idea. I never talked to the guy again and did not understand the severity of his illness. I asked my dad but he does not really make sense. I should ask my brother, maybe he knows? I think the guy was hospitalized for a long time.

@MissMermaid wow, I hope he’s ok. I haven’t been hospitalized in about 2 years going strong.
@Anna1 does your family know? My family are about the only people I really trust with knowing about my mi. Well, them and a few close friends that have stuck with me over the years.

yes Montezuma, i am almost dependant on my mom. My illness is obvious, i cant hide it from her. I am dependant on her even for the food if you see. Plus, i was sharing to her everything in the past… She was with me when i was going to the pdocs. In my case, i cant hide it. I am very low functioning and its clear that i am ill… my mom almost went co-dependante on me :/…
