Hi Alice,
I was wondering where young Bix was, the naughty big toots!
As to shrinks, well, I loathe the ruddy lot of them and would never give credence to anything they say. As far as I'm concerned, it's their catastrophic mismanagement of my brother's schizophrenia that destroyed my family and led to all those early deaths. I think most of them need to have a long lie down on their own couches and then section themselves, then the rest of us might actually get the help we need. Glad that he thinks your prognosis is good....so long as you're prepared to wait another few decades for the breakthrough, that is...I know a couple of people on here who have similar probs and they've never found shrinks to be worth a tinker's cuss either.
Oh, how sweet to say that I'm loved on here! You'll understand when I say that I never see it like that, what with me paranoia and all...Gawd 'elp us, eh?
Lots of love, Yo. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
