I have a doctor's (gp) appointment next week, but as I said, I can't afford a psych or counselor.

If you can, work a few less hours, take more walks and enjoy life more.
A quick question, when you have those times when you forget things, do you go through a personality change as well? Like, do people say you start acting different and you have no recollection of it? I do, but I don't have schizophrenia so it might be something altogether different.

I do enjoy life and I don't feel stressed (but I guess I could be without realizing it). I love taking walks and do it almost every morning.
When I forget things I'm still me, I just can't remember anything at all. I'm starting to forget words as well. I can't recall simple words and even when I do, sometimes I forget what I'm talking about or who I am talking to, or can't concentrate on what I'm saying or doing.
