I am on the good way to become schizophrenic as well. Doctors already see some simptoms. And I also have some signs of epilepsy. I'll just do that if (when) I become...
I've always been a "do-it-yourself" person...If someone tells me I have a problem and I realize it, I attempt to change the way I think and act and fix it. Not the proper course of action for everyone, but I don't like shoving pills down my throat if I don't have to.<center><object width="312" height="331"><param name="movie" value="http://media.socialvibe.com/sv2.swf"/><param name="wmode" value="transparent"/><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"/><param name="flashvars" value="s=1-222138"/><embed src="http://media.socialvibe.com/sv2.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" allowScriptAccess="always" flashvars="s=1-222138" width="312" height="331"></embed></object></center>
I'm not sure what Schizophrenia is like, but I have some issues of my own to deal with (mostly dealing with hyperactivity and the distractions related to it). The only way that I find it easy to function is if I have strongly patterned behaviors. I've almost trained myself to be compulsive about certain things. For instance, I decided about 15 years ago the exact order that I want to do everything when I get up in the morning to go to work. I don't freak out when it doesn't go in the correct order, but it has effectively eliminated most of the thought, stress, and effort involved in the hardest thing I have to do on a day-to-day basis. My patterns are so engrained that I often arrive at work with no recollection at all of anything that happened prior to my arrival. I think that there are a lot of tangential benefits to reshaping yourself into a highly proceduralized mindset, too. No employer wants a crazy, random employee, for instance. Pets, kids, friends, etc... are almost universally happier with you when you're highly predictable and your behavior is positive.
