Support Group

[angelatk]

I would like to be a part of a prayer/support group for people with schizophrenia. I really want support from other people who have gone through the same thing. I first started having mental health issues in 2013. Since then I have been on several medications and nothing seemed to work. That is until I switched doctors and the new one switched and upped my meds. Now I don't have those bad thoughts like I use to. They use to be 24-7 all day. Now I may have a bad thought here or there. I'm really thankful for the medication and 2 small groups I attend that have really helped the thoughts go away. I think that the small groups have helped tremendously but I don't talk to them about my diagnosis. They are just Christian small groups where we fellowship and pray. I would like to be a part of a group that has a similar mental health condition and knows what I've been through. I'm a lot better than where I use to be but I want to be healed completely and maybe someday get off the meds. Thank you.

well all this time i thought i was schizophrenic but only recently did they officially diagnosed me as schizoaffective so i should know a little of what you are going through. i have had all this time ever since my diagnosis in 2005 voices, racing thoughts, and paranoia all literally mentally and then which means physically painful in the process of course as well. i would like to someday get off my meds as well but i may not have that for the rest of my life. through time, you will have been trained with personal ways you have for yourself in using coping mechanisms if you haven't already considered that. the skill in such strength found in us makes us somewhat of warriors i suppose, heh. it makes us formidable and versatile. just trying to encourage you to feel strong about all this. i hope you will eventually feel comparable to yourself where you were where you were at originally and regain everything you once had.
