Hey guys, my brother has been diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia. He disappeared over 10 hours ago now and no one knows where he is. He developed it over last few days but I found about it just this morning. I love him very much.

I just dunno how I'm handling this. I'm getting thoughts that I might be paranoid too. That i might have been depressed for few years due to low self esteem. I'm scared for my brother, I cry the second i start thinking about him.
I'm trying to think about something else. Play video game just to take my mind off of it. I'm away from my family so I have no family comfort. I don't really have very good friends who would just relax with me and support me in this time.
Is there chance at normal life guy? Anyone? My brother is very intelligent and good person. Please, words of support would be very helpful.

thank you.

Well I sure hope your brother is okay. I do not blame you for being worried or having the thoughts you've had to deal with in his absence. Is there a chance at a normal life? Yes. Learning to adjust and deal with the issues is always a possibility. If you are feeling down and out then please see a therapist while you are recognizing the issue. I am so very sorry about your missing brother and really hope he has been found ... best of luck. I would be crying and playing games to take my mind off it too so no, you are not alone in your way of dealing with things... we all deal with things differently and its okay.
