I have schizophrenia and cancer.I can manage the schizophrenia pretty well but still have slips here and there. No big deal.I've lived with it for 10yrs now.I was diagnosed with stg3 colon cancer almost 2 yrs ago and have had 2 surgeries and 14 5fur3 chemo treatments.I now have some weird infection and have to see a infectious disease specialist that's been spending more than a month trying to diagnose what ever it is . My neighbor who is a registered sex offender broke in my house and jerked off on my clothes in my closet last month I called the police and was denied filing charges twice after I told them I was skizo and had cancer,It was more of a FU than denial.I had to be hospitalized because of the stress triggering my schizo. Meanwhile I live with my mother who now lives in perpetual PTSD and hypochondria trying to out do my miserable life on the scale of misery sustained through out one life compared to my last 10 yrs. We live in a house that my sister provides at an over emotional cost.My Mom says she can't live with me.(it's all just to much to bear) my sisters family wants to get rid of me (Your just too much to manage).And I just want to get better and heal,Oh and my T dropped me because I'm to sick to make my appointments.My girlfriend wont get me out of the house to exercise or just for the hell of it because I'm to sick to have sex and no sex no care ! Suicide is an everyday battle.I still stay on top of things but I feel my life is being destroyed by the ones I live with because there tired of all of it .Don't really blame them but WTF I didn't have any choice in any of this I'm AXIS1 not behavioral AXIS2.I have begged for relief but no quarter is shown ever. My claimed christian friends won't pray with me the church scoffs at me because I'm Catholic,I've read the Curran and I believe in Buddhist disciplines and as I am damned for the life I've led.I've never had a chance to have a life let alone live one....................I don't know what to do?

Uumm, anything would help........
PLEASE !!!

Should I just post never mind again?

Sorry to hear about all of your problems. It sounds like you really have your hands full. Something that has really helped me in dealing with negative events is the whole mindfulness thing. I spend a lot of time listening to the talks that you can download for free at this website

Here are links to a couple of good books that I have gotten a lot out of also

I tend to read a lot because I don't have access to a good therapist. I do what I can with what I have and try to keep moving forward.
Hope that this has helped some, Shoe

Just live your life one day at a time and try to do some things you want to do. Find some new friends and try to keep yourself occupied with things so you don't think of negative things. Sorry, I can't say much because I really don't know what it's like to be schizophrenic and a cancer patient. Anyways, I'll hope for the best for you and go have some fun or something. (:
