Thank you so much. It does help to know that someone is there, and you have been so kind to me for so long. I know how your friend must have felt, not wanting to tell people what the voices say. I have to admit that sometimes it's just too embarrassing. I know its not real and I know that society has painted a picture of schizophrenics as crazy and looney. I don't want people to think I'm either of those.
Again, thank you so much. Your presense has helped more than I can explain these past weeks. Take care.

unidentified hacker,
I have a good friend who is Schizophrenic. He's probably one of the most intelligent and talented people I know...but he can go from being nice to mean and happy to sad in no time. His voices always told him to do bad things...horrible things. I always felt so helpless watching him - I wanted to hear what the voices were were saying, so I could be prepared, but he would never tell me.
A lot of times people would think he was making it up or wanted attention.
So I know it must be very hard for you, especially this time of year.
Just like him - I never knew what to say to make things better. I would just sit with him quietly.
I think he liked knowing I was there. Just like I'm sitting quietly here with you now.
