Completely AZ: Little Help?

[Annette]

Agent Zero,

I speak as a family member of someone diagnosed with schiziophrenia and clinical depression. I truly hope your family is blessed likes ours, in that we love each other despite our illnesses. We always knew my family member
was "different", but we never imagined the actual illness. But it comes down to this: we love him, just as I hope your family loves you, no matter what.

It's hard for me to not to feel guilty. I often wonder, why him and why not me? Maybe your friends and family will be feeling the same when you explain to them what is going on. Take heed in Narf's advice. Learn your limitions and live by them. Those who love you will adjust and learn to accept. The important thing is to take care of yourself.

PS I don't think you should worry about hurting those you love. I'll bet they'll be relieved to have an explanation and know you're getting the help you deserve.
