I hope a few of you reading along can help me with something. Are you working? Do you collect disability?

How did you manage to function within society with a diagnosis of schizophrenia?

I still experience "symptoms" as I am treatment resistant and my brother in law gave me his "sage" advice when, despite the fact that I had just come from hospital, he stated," You have to get it together." As he was annoyed that I called my sis for a little bit of help.

I have accomplished more in my life spiritually and otherwise and it still hurts knowing if any other member of my family knew my life for one day they could never bear it.

I exist in the rest...the quiet place God made. We disappear into nothingness but in some strange way we come to life again.
