I used to think the theme from Metal Gear 2 would be a good tune to go out on but now I'm thinking 'Days' by The Kinks.

Cannabis is another thing that doesn't get great press. Apparently, now don't quote me on this, there are DANGERS. Bloody hell. So's crossing the road, but it's not as fun.

Depends on the paper. Psychotic Times gave me a great review, while Christopher Tookey of the Daily Mail said I was 'pointless' and 'a waste of your time'.
It's funny that Clazon, when you said he had to drop out of Oxford my immediate thought were of cannabis.
Mabye my subconscious had read on a little further than I had. :S

Because it's relevant to the people around you(not you), being pyschotic might just worry people. You know that the public perception of mental illness isn't good and without any personal experience the thought " Is this person dangerous" would cross your mind, it certainly would mine. Pyschotic people dont get great press.

Mine was far worse before I started using cannabis, so hey, two sides one story etc. Not exactly a chain-smoker mind.
But people are extremely pleased with my progress. Ability to connect with people better, seem quite solid but must remember that I may need to go back on drugs again even if it's for a short time. I don't -want- to, but it's a possible necessary evil.

To be honest, I wasn't. But then again he was my brother...

He did that too. Then there was some relapse or something because his body was used to the drugs. Now he's just perfect with hardly any drugs at all. His seemed to cure rather than put at bay the problems.

:S
My brothers fine now. Shame it's already funked up his life. He had to drop out of Oxford infact and it's taken 10 years, but it's pretty likely that nothing will ever happen again. He's even holding a job down. They think his was triggered by the use of cannobis. Apparently there are strong links.

Actually I'm more than like to get worse over time, which was a big worry for me. Was told once to "not worry about the past, because it's the future that's out to get you", bloody haunts me. I'm sure I'm only still alive because suicide attempts didn't work (the chain around my neck snapped, took an overdose and woke up with teeth clenchers [drug culture term for bad acid trips where your muscles contract in spasms constantly with zero control of them] that lasted two weeks) so I'm kinda in a strange delusion of grandeur that maybe I'm supposed to be alive. And besides, there are a good few things that are decent enough to keep me here, such as love and breasts and a few certain people that know who they are.
I don't really tend to tell anyone. Why bother? It doesn't affect the person that I am, I have quite a few great friends that have no idea about it and I'm happy to joke about all sorts of close to the mark things with them, not even my parents know, and they don't really need to. A good friend of mine once told me he didn't want to know if I was ill, which I completely respect and understand, so I'll never tell him, unless he asks.
What is this anyway, I've completely taken over this topic, erk, sorry.

What about meeting new people, do you worry about telling them and how they'll react? I can imagine most people would be slightly uncomfortable even if they dont show it.
You'll mellow with age Grix. :)
