[Baron Munchausen]

Hmmm... and that last post, as I recall, was a question about a character in one of your stories with paranoid delusions. Did the search for information about your character lead you to realize that certain things you were experiencing were 'not normal'?

Good luck on the treatment. If you stick with the medication, schizophrenia isn't necessarily debilitating anymore.

As for how to inform your family, I would say don't be in a rush. If you're just recovering it probably wouldn't be wise to rush into more stress too quickly. You are living overseas, right? Well away from home? Don't you have a few months before you have to go home? Rather than seek a quick solution, maybe it is best to use the time to consider the situation thoroughly.
