Anyone still here?
Is anyone around? Were you okay for the holidays? I had a really crazy one and could not bring myself to call any of my Al-Anon friends. I guess it was a schizo episode because I felt like something was telling me that I was going to kill myself and it was all associated with "God" and so forth. I finally called a church counselor I had had for MPD for a year several years ago. I just felt severely anxious and I cannot describe the negative feelings I had.
The therapy I had from church was very good, but it was for MPD and I have never been diagnosed with schizo, do not want the terribly inept shrinks I have had for depression, or who just wouldn't treat me, told me I didn't have a problem.
I finally cut down then quit coffee, haven't had any caffeine for a week. And it's just touch and go every day. Sometimes I feel better but it always just comes back. It just sucks.
By the way, I had no idea that Urinary Tract Infections were probably linked to Schizophrenia, but heard it in the news last month. Also, a friend told me that when older people in nursing homes display schizo symptoms, they are checked for a UTI.
My grandmother had UTIs and schizo symptoms, and I always thought she was schizophrenic, she spent a year in a mental hospital (no one is telling me if there was ever any diagnosis, with my family I'm kind of afraid to ask).
Anyways, how are you if anyone is still around?
