  • places to stay in Seaside & Canon Beach?
    Photo_on_2012-01-03_at_17

    My family rents out a beach house. Don't know if you are looking for an entire house or not. We welcome pets and the house has a beautiful view of the ocean. The house is in Gearhart which is about 2 minutes from Seaside. Even if you don't stay there, you might want to check out the Pacific Way Cafe in downtown (all two blocks of it) Gearhart. They have delicious food, but it is expensive. Lunch is cheaper than dinner. Plus their bakery has stuff in the morning and everything is AMAZING!

    If you are interested in the beach house, here is the link to the website:

  • What is the best type of carpet for box-challenged kitty?
    Photo_on_2012-01-03_at_17

    Have you considered using Flor carpet tiles?

    Here is a link: http://www.flor.com/

    The reason why I suggest them is that you can easily replace small sections. They come in squares of various sizes and you can mix and match colors (or have just one color). They might be a little more expensive at first, but if you ever need to replace a section of carpet I think they would be way less expensive.

    And, yes, I agree that you should try to get her involuntarily hospitalized. Involuntary hospitalization saved my life many times.

  • How common are audio halucinations?
    Photo_on_2012-01-03_at_17

    Auditory hallucinations can be common in schizophrenia. She is probably experiencing them.

    It took me about 12 years to get straightened out enough to take my meds, and quite frankly, I am lucky I survived all the shit I did to make it to that point. Schizophrenia is particularly dangerous, because people are mostly out of their minds during the psychotic episodes.

    I kind of doubt that she will be able to accept her mental illness and realize that she has it until she is stabilized on medications. The only thing that worked for me was getting the injection form of antipsychotic medication, because I couldn't NOT take it. Once I was on the injection of Haldol I improved quite quickly.

    There are a lot of different depot (injection) forms of many antipsychotics. If risperdal makes her shake, then she should try something else. There are options out there. I'm a big believer in the injection form, because they are easy to take and they last like 3-4 weeks...enough time to take a lot of the crazy away.

    I still have to take other meds to deal with all the other crap and to function like a semi-normal human, but the injection, for me, was really like the first brick in the wall to come down.
