Thanks, Kit (and everyone else). I am on medication, and I was seeing a therapist. But I disagreed with some things my therapist was saying, so I stopped seeing her. I agree with you that it is a real worry. I have been diagnosed with various psychoses over the years, and I live with my parents. I am also worried what will happen when my parents pass; my parents have also expressed their genuine worry about the matter. My guess is I will probably be committed to an institution. This worries me.
But on the bright side, I am focused on the possibility of improving enough to get and hold down a job. I am not quite there just yet, but I hopefully anticipate this possibility in the somewhat near future.
My Mother recommended I ask my current psychiatrist if there is a therapy group for schizophrenics I can join. After asking him this, he told me about an outpatient program ran by an LCSW, which I have been to twice in the past. I am just not quite sure if I should join this group again or not. Everything just seems to be "up in the air" right now.
