He told me that he doubts I've got Schizophrenia. He did say that I've more than likely got extreme chronic depression/anxiety which caused much if not all of my symptoms.

I finally have something good to report. I've got an appointment with a psychologist on Wednesday at 3. While I'm relieved that I'll finally be getting some help, I can't help but feel a little nervous about it. I spoke to my mom today, as I've been keeping her updated via texting; we don't talk on the phone because neither of us really like to, but today we had a record 8 minute phone conversation. She says that she's... http://www.healthcentral.com/schizophrenia/c/932374/78353/rolling http://www.healthcentral.com/schizophrenia/c/932374/78022/interesting Fri, 10 Jul 2009 15:07:51 -0400 Rain Last night before I went to bed I had a conversation with my uncle which was sparked by my status update on myspace, and as gloomy as the subject matter was, I think for the most part it was a good conversation. Before I joined this site, my grama and I had abruptly ended living arrangements with her then boyfriend. Because of his drinking and unpredictable behavior, we up and moved within 5 days of getting a restraining... http://www.healthcentral.com/schizophrenia/c/932374/78022/interesting http://www.healthcentral.com/schizophrenia/c/932374/76785/questions Wed, 01 Jul 2009 02:12:46 -0400 Rain Hello, all, once again. Many thanks go out to those of you who have taken the time to read my posts. It seems that support is easier found here than in my personal life, unfortuntely. Anyway, on to my story. A long time ago, probably around 2-3 years ago, I'd left my parent's house for a couple of days to spend the night at my cousin's house. I think I left because my parents were fighting and I didn't want to be around them. I came home... http://www.healthcentral.com/schizophrenia/c/932374/76785/questions http://www.healthcentral.com/schizophrenia/c/932374/76451/sharepost Sun, 28 Jun 2009 19:12:57 -0400 Rain First, to Christina, thank you for the comments and suggestions. I stumbled upon this site whilst researching Schizophrenia online.

My experiences with Schizophrenia go back. My mother was diagnosed with Paranoid Schizophrenia at the age of 17. For a few years, she took... http://www.healthcentral.com/schizophrenia/c/932374/76451/sharepost
