You seem to be doing well with it.

I found a great new avatar for someone. Anyone want it?

What part of people should monitor themselves didn't you get. Please don't misinterpret my words.

That is bad advice really... people do not do so well monitoring themselves... ie "moderators" if you have an issue with me PM me, it does not really belong on the open forum... or get over it. Kathy is a virago and obviously capable of defending herself.

Well, Kristy, time to say good bye to your thread.

Thank you, and I whole heartedly agree with you.

How wonderful for your niece that she was one of the rare few who can recover from such a debilitating illness. Sadly schizophrenia does not affect all people the same way and most are not able to recover completely. Most are lucky if medications have any effect at all, and if they can remember or know to take them (say if they have trouble with reality). What few know is that even medications are not a "cure" or even that effective. While I think it is wonderful that your family had a success story, the stats show that schizophrenia is a lifelong disorder for most diagnosed with it, so we need to come up with better options for treatment than leaving them to their own devices so they end up on the street or in prison.

Well, obviously this one is in the toilet. I have not personally read anything except the last couple of pages after being alerted via PM that it was in serious trouble so it will be awhile before it can be sorted out.


ETA: I want to take the time to mention that though one post was reported, I see several that should have been. Please, people, use that little red flag when you should rather than continue fighting.
