Now that I finally have the formal definitive diagnosis of schizoaffective/mood/thought disorder, I feel like I can just push myself and try hard, very hard and work to either turn it around or at least better my place in society. I have been working at a pizza hut for over a year as the prep pers...

    Hello Ysraal,

     

    I want to also thank you for serving our country.

     

    My Uncle Joe served in the marines in World War II.

     

    You positive spirit continues to inspire me.

     

    Especially your comments about doing your best to make the dishes the cleanest dishes

     

    You truly are an inspiration.

     

    Best wishes,

    Chris

    Dear sis Chris, Again it was and is my honor to have earned the right to serve our country as a U.S. Marine and because of good people like your uncle and millions more, we do not speak german or japanese fluently. They answered an internal call because they knew what was right and went forth to do what had to be done at all risks to their own personal life and being. I thank you still for the compliment and I started training at the restrant today and I have to wear a uniform and when I arrived, I was clean, pressed and shined. Since I know that more of me are out there, I kind of feel like I have a "S" on my chest but in the spirit I also know that this illness is lurking waiting to try to knock me down or be my kriptonite and then I am going to scream at my doctors at the top of my lungs and I am going to start all over again if i have to. But, forward ,forward and forward.  I will post soon maybe tommorrow after excersise before I go to work. May God bless you and thank you very much. Please exercise faith and as you say take hope and heart. Smile.
