Chris, You very well may be schizophrenic. I've read your last posts. But medication today lets you lead a normal life. Who cares what society says. If the meds work no one will know. I had a pt Billy who came into the p hospital because he was bringing dead racoons home to eat. Really he was. One day before his meds started working he was dumping the garbage can in the dining room on the table. I said Billy what are you doine? He replied Feeding the horses. I asked him What horses. He said I have one here. I asked him where he slept and he pointed to a bedroom. Now the good part of the story is that his Mother is schizophrenic and believe me no one would ever know. Didn't know until she told us she was. She's very compliant on her meds. So try not to be scared. Every day they come out with new meds for this illness. They weren't even able to tx it years ago. People were institutionalized. So look at how far we've come. And the luvox. I'm cutting down. Starting to wonder if I'm even depressed or have just become so needy from not working in so long. Love you Chris. Fondly, Phillipa
