I find it nice to talk to other people with sz/sza.

The forum occupies my time. I donā€™t work or have a lot of friends.

So the forum fills that gap for me.

It gives me a bit of comfort knowing I am not the only one limited my illness and med side effects. Thatā€™s why I keep coming here

Iā€™ve been coming here for years because I get to socialize with people who share my symptoms.
I donā€™t feel so isolated.
Honestly Iā€™m also obsessed and canā€™t stay away from the forum.
My therapist and father both feel that coming on to this site is feeding my obsessive behavior.

My psychiatrist on the other hand feels that coming onto an online support forum is a positive step for me.
She sees it as being therapeutic.
I agree with my psychiatrist.

To socialize with people who have experienced some of the same things. But I donā€™t really say much. Just like in real life I suppose. Oh well.

Iā€™m here for support and information. I like to see how other people handle their symptoms and learn about medications. I also just like to hang out sometimes.

To help others when I can. I really appreciate this because a year and a half ago most of my comments were smart assish at best but I got encouraged to go to the hospital so in a sense this forum saved me. Thanks for tolerance folks. Love yas. :slight_smile:

Iā€™m on here because I asked Google questions about the medicine I was on (i do a whole lot of research on stuff) and found out there was an entire website for people like me.

itā€™s been rainbows and unicorns ever since. this website is perfect for me. it has answered questions that I never knew i had.

You have a strong psyche man. Some people could get disturbed by a forum like this.
