[QUOTE="Feeling Sad, post: 697529, member: 19245"] Thank you, MOF. Yes, schizophrenia is a horrible disease. I am sorry that it is in your family. I have 2 sisters and my eldest son of 3 afflicted with it. I also had a great uncle in the 1930's that committed suicide...he could have had it. My second son who lives up North is seriously depressed. After I had to file a restraining order on my schizophrenic son because he threatened my life, he took a nose dive. My schizophrenic son held a jagged bottle to my throat and had command hallucinations that told him to kill me. My second son started to live in his car and did not pass a class. My fear is that he will also become schizophrenic. He is profoundly depressed. He still works 2 professional jobs and , hopefully, attends college. One of my sisters became schizophrenic when she was 13, which was young. The other became schizophrenic when she was 52, which was old to become ill. My eldest son started at 23. This makes me nervous because although there are general times when people become schizophrenic, it can really happen anytime. My depressed second son has told me that he does not want to live. I feel helpless because he lives far away and is an adult. He is hurting very badly. I need to be healthy to be there for my 3 sons. But, worry and guilt is wearing me down. I see a therapist and have attended NAMI. It is just very hard to let go because horrible things keep happening. I grew up always thinking the glass was half full. Lately, I see it as half empty...with a crack and filled with a toxic fluid... I am always waiting for the next problem. I try to joke and be upbeat, but it is becoming more difficult to do so. My youngest son keeps me from falling apart. I do not think that I would ever truly 'fall apart'. I never have. I wouldn't allow myself. But, all things are not mind over matter. [/QUOTE]
