Roll Call 19

I woud suppose if you had a baby with osmeone that also had a mental illness then the chances of your children having something would be very good.
From everything i have read and studied, most couples that both have some form of MI also have at least one child with MI.

As far as your meds go, no one can tell you what to do about that. its up to you.

But just be careful and realize that if things go really, really bad, your choices may be very limited.... but we all will still be here for you and love you anyhow.

I forgot to ask you how you are feeling off them?

For sz it's 1 in 8 vs 1 in 100 for the rest of the population. For autism we know far less albeit there is an increased frequency if the dad is over 40. Also there is regional variation with racial and geographic things for autism...for example Minneapolis total rate is like 1 in 40 vs 1:88 for the rest of the population but among the Hmong people living there it's even higher like 1:30. So far as I can tell roughly half of everyone in the US has a psych condition at some point in their lives so it's likely that if anyone has kids these days they will get some sort of label at some point in their lives.

im having some hallucinations and a lot of paranoia but other than that im actually ok. i havent set into full blown psychosis yet. im having symptoms here and there. but i feel like i have so much more energy and stuff. so much that i cant sleep i think.

I LOVE your direct answers.
Thank you.

this is why you need to stay here Sometimes! idk what we would do without you.

I agree! We need Sometimes to stay here!

um, yea.....(insert sarcasm)

But i do understand your explanation of why maybe you cant.

Newtus: Say NO to drugs and alcohol!

alcohol makes you fat.

yea idk why i cant get away from them and i dont want to become an alcoholic like my parents are. i dont want to be known as a druggie. i just get bored and lonely you know. and i dont know what to do with myself.

Newtus: do you feel like doing some art? Maybe that would keep you busy?

its just that im sort of losing my passion for art idk why. im thinking of getting into photography to rekindle my passion.

Photography sounds really cool Newtus!
