    Hi Dave,

     

    Good day!

     

    I know how you feel about the anxiety because I think it's the worst aspect of living with schizophrenia.  Yesterday the closing bell couldn't sound quick enough at work and I wanted to book out of there so fast.

     

    You can't solve your family's problems.  That would be playing a co-dependent "rescue me" game.  You have no control over their behaviors.  They have to see the benefit in changing and right now they must get a payoff from keeping everything status quo.

     

    That is not your life.  You pulled ahead and changed and had the courage to follow your own star which is lit so brightly now.

     

    Shine on.

     

    Regards,

    Christina
