He's not on the right meds. He actually was doing better off of his medications than what they have him on now. He was merely disorganized (highly) but now he is more delusional. No doubt he is schizophrenic & he has been in the system many years.. He has had a major set back though the last # of months after doing better ...

I wonder if you all could tell me too.. I really do care for him, I see him, not the mental illness, though the two are not separate... but lately I have more people telling me I need to cut him off. I think it is odd frankly as we generally meet in public so no one is around him.. & I don't talk about him much (on purpose for the reason I am saying)...
We lived in same apts., the don't want him back here..
It is bothering me in the fact that I see him.. & others are seeing the disability. There are those that like him.. it just seems insane to me how shallow people can be.

Needing to vent right now. I had a gal tell me to my face 20 min ago to Never talk with him again.. because he did come around this place again..
I think he needs guidance, structure, supervision too at times .. but I like the guy. Is it stupid of me to want to be his friend?????????? what is it with people? We have a lot in common, our faith, many spiritual beliefs, we are health conscious.. it is apart from the mental illness & it's like people want to box him into a category & me too when I hang with him.
It's like you're OK if you cut him off, if not then you are crazy.. wtf?
sorry.. I'm just upset & confused at WHY people want me to cut him out of my life. People with schizophrenia are capable of close friendships are they not? (i know the answer by the way.. )...
thanks for letting me vent!
(I do not have schizophrenia.. i am disabled physically & also I notice how people at times in my life want to shun me.. people are very odd at times).
