Yup and there are 17 members. What a great job Herc did of keeping us all together. I am so grateful! Many people played a role in getting us here. Keith immediately said yes when asked to join. And that started some momentum. David was the third member and he was particularly crucial as he went to work on MT and supported me and vouched for this site. That convinced a number of people to try it. Finally Chelle and Sue have been magic and I think their blogs are one of the most well read parts of the site. Thank you also for joining Diesel we look forward to your contributions whenever you have time to stop in. Cheers PS I Could go on. e.g. I feel I know Mike a bit better now, and Computer Chip's thread has been popular. That's right has made some good posts. etc etc

Yes thank you Hercules
For me this is far more comfortable than the old site, I enjoy visiting every morning...except if I need to make an early start and sleep in. I also find that logging in is far simpler for some reason.
I will try and buy that book you recommended as an ebook today, I have read the prefaces about it and can't wait to get stuck into it.
Cheers

In many areas of my life I am like an outsider. For example, I don't quite fit in at work. I admit that sometimes I feel like I am not engaging here--but it's my fault for not participating. But honestly, I think my "alienation" is due to my schizophrenia. Belonging to this site is actually very important to me.

But honestly, I think my "alienation" is due to my schizophrenia. Belonging to this site is actually very important to me. You belong here for two reasons 1) You are one of us and have experienced something we all have 2) You are smart. Everyone here to a person is intelligent. And hence we all enjoy reading each others posts. Including yours CC. You are part of the furniture (as they say in South Africa).

I have always been on outsider CC1 And yes try and explain psychosis to some one who has never experienced it is like describing colour to a blind man in my opinion.
We are all bits of furniture in the room of this forum, I like that metaphor, we are all different but we all belong and depending on our health depends on how we engage here and everyone understands.
I think the most important relationship is with ourselves for for a long time I hated me....and that is very destructive. It is so nice to be accepted for me here...that is the thing with the hospital I go to, I am accepted for me...being ill is normal there and not judged but supported and encouraged to grow in the right direction.
Ignorance must be truly bliss for those who judge and have never traveled the roads we have.
Cheers

This web site is turning into one of the best on the Internet. You can end up in a solid conversation over anything.

To me this site is like a pair of comfy shoes. This is a nurturing environment. I feel at ease.
I feel comfortable enough to say just about anything. That just about says it all for this new place I call home.
Tonight has been a rather crappy night. I am pretty sad but yet I don't know why. I haven't taken any of my medications for two days. Why? I don't know. Is this self sabotage? I don't know. Sorry to be such a twit!
