Hi GregoryShane, Hi bermygirl.

GregoryShane, as I understand it, it is currently believed that the cause of Sz is a combination of genetics (susceptibility) and some sort of 'insult' (an experience in your life which triggers the disorder). I think the experience which triggered my Sz was living in a foreign country for 5 years. I didn't know the language there, and I was very alienated and lonely. Also, when I was young I smoked a lot of pot. I guess that could be a factor. I feel a lot of regret about my choice to use marijuana as a young man. But a part of my healing is to be very honest, so I don't mind talking about it, and I wrote about it in my book.

Bermygirl, yes -- dealing with Sz is a trial for sure. I find that talking about it helps.

I have had Sz for 5 years. The voices were terrible when I was in psychosis, which I was for a very long time. They were non-stop and aggressive and LOUD. These days, with Abilify, they are very quiet and manageable. I am very grateful for good meds.
