I was on here for a short while then I took a break and now I’m back. I find it’s really supportive to know others are going through some of the same things I’m going through especially when you feel like you’re the only one when you never come across another schizophrenic in your daily life. It’s nice to make friends with some of you and have that extra support. Think of all the schizophrenics that don’t use this forum and how much harder that must be.

I think I’d be fine without this forum. Though it does help me feel better to talk to people. Makes me feel less lonely.

I feel the exact same. Your symptoms of faint voices are nearly the exact same as mine so I was thrilled to hear that.
I know I went almost a full year before I found this site and I was lost
i found it hard when it was down for a couple of years after the old software gave up the ghost, i think i’d have coped better if it was there at that time 
was a bad time for me
I’d be so frkkn bored!!

I’d probably be fine too, I just feel like the short time I’ve been on this forum has benefited me in a lot of ways.

It was down? I’m a newer user so I didn’t know that.
I’m glad I was able to help you today

sometimes I do better with some time away from the forum. I learned some things here that have helped me. but I haven’t learned much lately. and now I am coming on the forum instead of being out living my life. after the newness of the forum wore off I found myself getting bored and depressed because I would be inside doing nothing just browsing the forum. I think im going to try to stay away until winter. it’s hard to leave though.

Yes forum became much more informationless if you consider past.but still good virtual place to be in.and i m still learning and up to date about my disease and medications. Every word in this forum has deep experience for me
Probably be slightly more productive.
Without this forum, I’d be lost. This place has been so helpful to me. Helping me recognise my symptoms, helping me deal with meds and side effects, helping me make sense of my emotions.
I come here when I need someone to help me justify going to the hospital or asking for help.
I come here when I’m lonely and looking for kindred spirits.

Well I just suffered alone. Fun times
This forum for me is like a coffee break. I enjoy it. But it is OK without it because I have a lot of other enjoyments such as playing music, wtaching videos, taking a walk at the park or around the shopping mall, talking to my sisters.

Dont know. I’m happy I’ve stumbled onto this forum.
It’s nice to come on here and ask/give advice, share how days are went etc etc. We’re all like minded here so it’s easy to connect.

I enjoy coming on this forum at 1 or 2 am when it’s too damn early to call friends or family and there’s nothing but infomercials on the idiot box. I like adding my two cents and reading about how other people are managing their illness. It’s inspirational.
I love this site. I check it religously thru out the day. Its my theraputic “facebook” - but without the crap.
I would miss it terribly - its part of my support stratagy in maintaining my sanity. Great people too. You get the naked truth here sometimes - whether you want to hear it or not lol.
I don’t know what I would do. Maybe being alone with my problems again. I think i would put my voice in for a new forum. Is this forum closing soon ?
I enjoy the forum getting to know people with SZ/SZA I live in a small place so highly unlikey to meet anyone like myself.But tbh I have other thing going on aswell to keep me busy,so tend too just dip in out tbh
This forum has been my constant companion for the last 15 years, I consider it (and everyone) a part of my family.
If it were gone?
I’d morn for the loss of it like a death in the family, but life would still have to go on- just not as good.
