I think that is often true.<br /><br />Maddie - thanks for visiting my blog<br /><br />Janet - I will pray for your son and I hope you can use what I say in your support grop. I try to spark conversation with my blog.<br /><br />o - mom - thank you for your beautiful words. You touched my heart. I am glad I reconnected with Maddie, your daughter! When I became ill with my mental illness, I lost a lot of friends. Some because they weren't comfortable (which Maddie doesn't fit into), but others (like Maddie) I was to scared to tell.<br /><br />Thanks everyone,<br />AmandaMandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02388649891410858782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1229653932117382501.post-5503454109467926042009-07-30T23:40:39.764-04:002009-07-30T23:40:39.764-04:00Hi Amanda,

We often wondered where you went. I don't know that it's so much about normal. Some of the most lucid people I know have had schizophrenia. I think it's about happy. We all have that goal, and just about everyone thinks it's easier for everyone else.o-momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03630194671643453521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1229653932117382501.post-38725809222972918182009-07-30T23:09:04.315-04:002009-07-30T23:09:04.315-04:00First time to post but I read your blog and have y...First time to post but I read your blog and have you in my favorites. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. My son is "newly" dealing with SZ and has had bad luck with the meds but doing surprisingly well right now without. It keeps us on alert but its ok for now. Loved your thoughts on the rich versus the poor... think I will share that one at our next support group! It's good to connect with you! Your words help us know we are here for each other. Thanks!

I think you make valid points about rich and crazy vs poor and crazy... my mom can tell you a lot about how sad it is for those who are mentally ill and poor in my area.Maddiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06106602744842878563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1229653932117382501.post-63938814609962313802009-07-29T07:04:03.680-04:002009-07-29T07:04:03.680-04:00You are definitely not alone in these thoughts Ama...You are definitely not alone in these thoughts Amanda, these are all great points to ponder and things I often wonder. Especially about madness and wealth, and like you say, it's considered almost groovy or trendy to be a little nutty when you are famous or rich! But definitely NOT cool to be nutty and poor. Good to have a post from you - thanks for sharing xBorderline Lilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09988037918955358589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1229653932117382501.post-86073216372645005412009-07-28T22:33:53.170-04:002009-07-28T22:33:53.170-04:00Thanks guys!

I been on them for 10 years and I can tell you slowly your body gets used to it's effects so your not as sleepy. Thanks Drifter, like I said I feel like I am not alone. And a shout out to Amber.

For..."Choosing the lesser of two evils."<br /><br />For me, that means major depression and crippling panic attacks OR meds that make me tired, dopey, and addicted.<br /><br />I take the meds; they'll never make me well, but at least I can function every day.<br /><br />A good post, Amanda.Charliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722567671925063706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1229653932117382501.post-36304307462655392602009-07-28T10:11:42.642-04:002009-07-28T10:11:42.642-04:00Good post, Amanda.
