Well Found out today my brother made another attempt at suicide.. he was fortunantly caught in time. But he has now extended his jail sentance. I have talked to a friend and she suggested I get an attorney to have him committed to the only facility I know of here. Some place where he can be helped... To those reading this if you are schitzophrenic and can control these attempts please realize you have a future. David sadley really doesn't outside some sort of facility weather it be jail or a mental insitute. For those reading this if you could give me some advice as to what to do now.. it would be greatly appreciated. This is not something I would wish upon anyone. bless you all.. and reach for your goals!! they are there..


Hugs
Koko

Oh Koko! I'm so sorry!!! I have no advice to give, I just wish there was something I could do or say to make things easier for you and David....

A hug seems poorly inadequate, but here's one anyway.

Take care of yourself,

sorry to hear that about david. i am a schizoaffective, almost the same. only very impaired when it comes to thinking, and stuff like that. i am 28. i dont think about suicide anymore. but i did when i was 15. i tried a few times. im gld to still be here. i cant offer much advice, because i am on medication, and its hard to feel things tht are emotional. maybe he can talk to someone about giving him meds that wont make him cry and stuff. this is nothing to play with. when people like us are sad and depressed, we often think about hurting ourself or others. the meds i am on, prevent the depression and hallucinations, and i am able to live. i feel doped up alot, but its a good feeling. i hope he can receive the proper treatment. nobody really knows EXACTLY how we see and think. they can study us, but not know it plain. im glad i came here because this site makes me feel that i am not alone. thanks. i just hope i find it again. ill probly forget, but i will tape a note to my computer window so i remember. good luck!

StarCat and ScitzoWomen,

My typing is bad tonight I hope your not afended by the short name SW. I have told people that we can never imagine what it's like to look through a schitzophrenics eyes.. No One can imagine.. My brother is only getting worse as the days go by and I cannot reach out to him as he is now in lockdown in the community jail. I try so hard for him and since I cannot see what he is thinking I can't be of much help other then to try and keep some hope up and support.
anyway I better run got a phone call while typing this..

Hugs
Koko

Thank you both!!!

Koko, I agree with StarCat, but I'm sending a hug and warm thoughts to you anyway...
