yeah this is the first time i have contacted you. i think your site is wonderful. especially for the people who have loved ones with the disease. i also think it is very educational for people who don't have to live with the disease (either with a loved one or themselves). this site gives an inside of what it is like to live day in and day out with schizophrenia.
as i stated my mother has it. and right now her medication is not working like i would have hoped. for instance, last night she got mad at the world (my father and myself) because the television was telling her stuff. it is truly amazing how she does not understand that the television (or the people on television) don't have a clue who she is or what other people in her household at the time are doing. she unfortunately does not comprehend that, which makes life that much more unbearable when her schizophrenia acts up.

your site is also a wonderful opportunity for people, such as myself, to unload and read other statements of what others have to go through. it is a wonderful feeling to know that you are not alone when dealing with schizophrenia. i do have to admit, as wonderful as it feels it is also heartbreaking to know that others are having to go through the same thing i am. my heart truly goes out them.

Paul, if you don't mind me asking, how are you dealing with the illness in your life (loved one or perhaps yourself)? well, either way, THANK YOU!
