I am one of Gods gifts to the Earth and even though I am not regular john q. public and I have to live with a illness, I refuse to go backwards and/or accept even the thought from those who supposed to help me get better. I am a veteran with a honorable discharge from the United States Marine Corps and I recieve most of my treatment at a VA medical center and I do work 4 hours a day at a pizza hut as the prep person. I have asked to be placed in a voc rehab program that will allow me to participate in work therapy for 8 hours a day and i have been told that that would be going backwards for  this would be  against the goal of the program. I may not be able to get into the program at this time but I have contacted my state vocrehab counselor and she has also told me to just be patient. We are not going backwards. I am to go forward like the godchild I am, like the Marine I am and I am not to quit and I will get better regardless of what that is to consist of. My doctor told me again that I am afflicted with an illness called schizoaffective with mood and thought disorder. I know one thing and that is that I was not like this until my deferred and impressioned psychotic break while I was on active duty in the Marine Corps. It is maybe my illness but what a coincidence that the same person making the backwards call is the same one who says that nothing happened to me in the Marine Corps. I will and must keep going forward. Thank you Dr. Fred Frese. Please any and all I welcome your comments good or bad brin. May you all have a great day and your lives blessed better.g them on. We are all in this together
