I was hoping there is a support group for people with schizophrenia here. I have been coping with schizophrenia for nearly all my life now - I am 22 now, and I was first diagnosed with schizophrenia at the age of 8. Now, with the help of a good therapist and with medications, I am studying and functioning normally. But I do fear that I will relapse at some point. Are there others in my situation?
I want to tell you you seem like a very courageous person, and well done for living such a good life with such a heavy mental illness. I am not a schizophrenia patient myself, my I do have several people in my family with the illness, and I am always very interested to learn more about it. I do hope more people will join this thread.
