So I’m 24. Got diagnosed with schizophrenia along with my sister maybe 6 months ago. Went threw trial and Error with Meds and actually found a pretty good combination. Doesn’t work 100% especially with negative symptoms but I’m managing. Have a boyfriend that I have had since my psychosis started before I figured out I was schizophrenic and luckily he has stuck around. We have a ten month old daughter and he has two kids from a previous marriage which live in another state with there mom and he has never really had contact with since they were 2 and 3 now 10 and 12 and there mom and step dad are on meth. They are now coming to live with us and we don’t know for how long. I’ve only met them once and it’s the first time my boyfriend seem them in years. I’m so nervous. I am an addict who got off heroin and now smokes weed. I’ve been to na so I know how bad that is. 3 days clean and trying to keep it going. Having a really hard time with that, with the kids coming. I’m a stay at home mom he works and I will be the one taking on the responsibility for the kids for almost the entire day. Help please! Any advice. Any prayers would be much appreciated!

You’re trying and that’s good!

Thank you for everyone’s thoughts. Been off heroin for two years now. Have my daughter and I can’t see myself ever going back down that road. I’m just worried about my anxiety and wanting to smoke pot. On top of everything my boyfriend needs back surgery and my grandpa passed two weeks ago. Hanging in there and you guys help!
