I'd like to think that the world I live in, is one that it is accepting of people's differences. I have previously posted on here many times about my Brother's Schizophrenia. I have ranted on, about how he is barred from pubs, and how is much maligned by his neighbours. Now I have found out that he ...

Hi Abz and welcome. I do emphasize with you, because you seem to be, almost exactly where I was this time last year... Tearful, lonely, constantly unhappy at work..so much so, I tried to quit. Always believing that I was/things were actually a lot worse than they were. Knowing that the worst would h...
