I’ve had great luck on the social networking site for people with schizophrenia, bipolar, schizoaffective and related mental illnesses. My online “special friend” is a 28-year old schizophrenic Dutch girl. We converse at about 2:00 each day, which is for her 8:00. It’s fun and interesting. She really likes me and I her, so I [...]

I haven’t talked much about my hospital stay earlier last year except in some oblique references to some changes in my medications and just saying I was “institutionalized” for a stint.

Friendships often strain, and in some cases fail. On the job (on the rare occasion when I can work) you daren’t tell anyone [...]
