Hi. This is my first time writing here. Let me tell you about my friend.
When I found out my friend has
Schizophrenia. It shock me.
I want it to know more about schizophrenia. Those who deal with it and so on. After reading about it, blogs, and videos. at first, I want to stop bring his friend. But then I was thinking.
He is a good friend. I was there for him. He was there for me.
I will be his friend for years to come.

Thanks

and you certainly are a good friend. there are many places at pc that you can reference about schiz. from my experience there are different symptoms for each of us that have mental illness/condition. i hope you will stick around and get to know more so you can best relate to your friend. one thing i do know tho, he is still "in" there..meanng he may have this condition but that doesn't mean that he's not the same person you call friend. he just may have to find new ways to communicate some things with you and you, him.

you are good to stick by him . just remember that it came as a shock to you, it didn't actually change who he was. he probably had it for longer than a week before telling you, so the person you call 'friend' is the same person still.
Thanks for this!
