Curious,
I am glad you joined us here at PC because this is one place you are not alone. There are wonderful people here with all kinds of issues and mental health conditions even schizophrenia.
I agree with Perna on the support group idea. Have you looked for one in your area at all? One place to start is
Mental Health America. If you are in the US you can look up local mental health organizations in your area and go from there.
