I'm looking for a support group for women with non-violent psychosis. My support system is in shambles; it would be nice to know I'm not alone.

I'm a recently diagnosed paranoid schizophrenic. The diagnosis came as a serious shock to me, because I'm high functioning. However, since I've learned of this, It's difficult to get out of the house to do constructive things. I have a job that demands my time Monday through Friday until about 5:30, to which I go.
I guess I'm wondering if there is anything like this around the First Hill, Capitol Hill area? I was thinking of forming a group where we try dance lessons together, maybe art classes, that sort of thing.

    I could see that that would be shocking. As usual, I recommend getting help from a team, because often one persons view is a bit limited. I haven't heard of anything about groups, but I will keep an eye out. You might check the NAMI website as well. Forming a group sounds like a great idea, if you can talk about what's going on for you and share some of the stuff that works for you it will be great for you and others who might be feeling isolated. The creative angle you are thinking of is probably something that would be awesome as well. I imagine most of us would be surprised to know how many of us experience symptoms of mental illness. Glad to hear your experience is nudging you in a creative direction.
