    kids or no kids

    I'm going to talk about it with her parents and see if they feel that she is capable of being a good parent in their opinion. I really wanted kids a lot until I found out I had a mental illness. It is my lack of confidence in my ability to raise them that is my concern. To be honest I really...

    kids or no kids

    I'm 23 years old. I did discuss it with her and she made it very clear that if I don't want kids than I have to be single or find someone else to marry, and that she wants 2 or 3 kids, and a dog. She sounds very set on that. I'm a little surprised that she isn't more willing to experiment with...

    ok thanks. I just saw a doctor and I told him about the suicidal thoughts and he didn't prescribe me to stronger meds he just prescribed me to the same strength. I suppose I could always just start taking more, I know how to go up in strength properly (take a week with a .5mg increase, then...

    symptoms

    Hi there. I've been diagnosed with schizophrenia, and I'm on meds (respiridone) and I'm doing fairly well. However, I've been faced with the challenge of perhaps going to school and deciding what to do whether to go to school or just work. Even the idea of working is so stressful for me I've...

    Can anyone help

    As much as you'd like to force someone with schizophrenia to be hygenic sometimes that doesn't work. Worth a try though. I agree though get them out and socializing and doing things.

    kids or no kids

    Hi. I just posted another post not that long ago but I though I wanted to adress a couple of topics. My girlfriend has a learning disability, which means that she has trouble spelling and has a speech impediment so to say, and I have schizophrenia. Her dad has already told me that he doesn't...

    Marriage and bipolar diagnosis

    Are you on AISH? That would provide you with some money. I'm on AISH myself for schizophrenia and it is a huge relief as I have trouble holding down a job with my illness.

    Time together and time apart

    Hi there! I'm currently dating a lovely special needs lady, as I am in some ways special needs myself. I find her to be likeable and attractive in every way except that she likes to ditch me for her family and other endeavors often, leaving me alone for 3-5 days at a time. We of course still...

    Question for Schizophrenics

    For me it was not religious or spiritual at all, it was "telepathic" and hearing other's voices in my head. then after a while it was "the holy spirit" supposedly talking to me. I thought that it was for the longest time because other Christians thought that I was just hearing from the holy spirit.

    What does Schizophrenia look like?

    schizophrenia is where someone is paranoid all the time and maybe has delusions. Sometimes they have voices that tell them to do violent things. The stigma that mentally ill people are dangerous has some truth to it, but most of the time the illness in itself doesn't cause a person to be...
