I wrote in here a post and tried to have a schizophrenia chat opened and weekly for all of us suffering for any kind of schizo disorder. While I find a LOT of help and benefits from the other chats such as DID and Eating disorder chats and of course the chats to better yourself no matter what your illness, I feel it would be extremely beneficial to all of us suffering in silence to come together to learn from those of us who have found a way to cope and support those of us who have not. As someone with schizophrenia (I'm not sure if it also goes along with the other schizo illness') I do feel like my mind is on a completely different wave length when it comes to certain things. I'm not getting big headed and saying I'm smarted but that my mind perceives things much differently then others and a lot of the time, people do not understand such thoughts and can not support as much as was needed. This problem does not occur as much when conversing with others with schizo disorders. Maybe it is because I think that they are on that level with me, or maybe it's a delusion but this schizo thread has been too deserted for too long and I know there are others out there reading this not responding for their own reasons, but even if not to talk, join the chat to learn, listen, be there.
For the majority of my life I was an outcast of my own free will. I was not lacking the ability to make friends, however I have hardly ever met someone who could relate or even comprehend what was going on in my mind and this place has that, people who really do know what it is like to be in the mind of the "ill". This is something that is needed with such an illness and with others alike. I hope someone understands and this becomes a reality because a place to get together on this topic and learn how to manage would help us all... I am DID as well as schizophrenic and again while I do enjoy the DID chats, it does seem like there are more DID people out talking and (me relating to them as well and vice versa which really helps) I hardly ever come across someone struggling with a schizo disorder and I think that should change. Just a thought, I know being schizo it's a hit or miss type thing, you're mostly either gonna be for it or completely against trying, I just wanted to try

I'm all for this. Heck, it was one of the main driving forces that led me to this site, the hope of finding others that - as you put it - get where I'm coming from. It's not a conversation I can have with people who don't have some sort of schizo-related issue.
Edit: I've been trying to enter the chat (any of them), but I'm not having any luck with it. I keep getting a blank grey screen. |

Honestly, I'm not sure where to check for that in Chrome. One sec, I'll look into that.
EDIT: According to Adobe and Chrome both, I'm up-to-date on all things Adobe. Thing is, I can't pull up the chat in any browser - FF, IE8 or Chrome. It'll get as far as a grey screen (right after showing the chatroom list), then never go past that. Weird. |

Hi there,
I'd find it helpful, I think. I've been diagnosed schizoaffective, and find a kind of stigma attached to the "schizo" bit of my label. People understand bipolar a lot more than they do "schizo". I've noticed the schizo related forums are a bit more quiet... it would be nice to be able to chat more with others. Oh, I keep forgetting to add that I'm also on the autistic spectrum, so someone might recognise me from another forum. |

You might ask on the Community Feedback and Technical Support forum about the chat problems:

Yea...I feel different in chat rooms because of the schizo label. I have ptsd, but those chats don't help with my "reality" problems...I'm not bipolar, and I'm not DID...so I am at a loss. A schizo chat would be something I'd like to try.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
