Hi @Hello_
I live with schizoaffective disorder which is like schizophrenia and I also have depression. It is a difficult illness to come to terms with, especially in the beginning. Good for you to join the forums as the people here are very supportive and welcoming.
You're definitely not alone, in fact schizophrenia happens to about 1 in 100 people.
I'm happy to chat online here about it all, so welcome!

@Hello_ I have had Schizophrenia since 2006 and often while on medication I would forget this because my life would be so normal.
