hi Bertanie!

Thank you for your resposes, it was nice to know that I am not the only one who suffers from sleep problems and nightmeres. I was diagnose with schizophrenia for 26 years still on medication. I was very confused at work yesterday and could not get my acted togegether. I just don't seem to cope with my job any more. I work in the care industry. There is lots of presure do do lots of things right. Like infection control, moving and handling, food hygine, nurition, heath and stafy, fire stafty,coshh,dematia traing, eating and drinking drinking, fliud chart care plans and also you have to be quick in geting poeple up. and puting them to bed. My relexes are slow. I was very confused yesterday and I just could not get my act together. I feel as if i need another job. I have no idea what kind of job I could do. with low qulifications my highest qulifications is level one in engligling language in adult education and also in maths I gained a level one.
. I also belive that My mental heath is also refexts on my spritually heath. My spruitually heath is no existant I feel spruitully lost. I feel htat I would go to hell when I die. The dreams that I have are very sactanic. Plus I am having hormone changees like the menopouse I am only 47 even though I feel like I am in my twenites. lol. :)

Hi!!

I know how you feel geting mixed up with things. I get mixed up with my job and I find it very confusing sometimes. I just feel lost. :( I now know that you know what your diagnoises is:- Its likea weight of your shoulders youcan learn 2live with your condition because you are unique in every way. Put on a smile and say hay its what makes me :) I think its wrong when you can'tsee your little boy. I was lucky I had my husband who was very suportive at the time when I was first diagnose. But now its 26 years on and my husband patients have weied thin. Our relationhip has broken down. He is not that well and he is looking for me to care for him. But I am not strong enough to do so. :( I get confused about what I am saying as well.lets smile to together :D I hope that I can cheer you up. with hope.
