Posted about this a little while ago and surprisingly got a number of people who joined our Discord. I've always wished there was a space where people like us, who care for a loved one living with schizophrenia or any form of psychosis, can get support and just be able to lean on people who get the struggle we have to go through that most people fully don't understand. We often ask questions and can get some answers online, but then the help and the camaraderie ends there.

And since it's been over 10 years of hoping someone would step up beyond the conventional NAMI and MHA groups that never worked out for people like me, I finally went for it. So far, we have a great group that's messaging each other and really stepping up and sharing. We will start meetups soon too. We already feel less alone, that's for sure.

More people can join our group. We want you to feel seen and for you to make friends and acquaintances that are consistent.

If this resonates with you in any way, I encourage you to come chat with us!

A few weeks ago I started a support group for family, friends, caregivers, and partners of those who live with schizophrenia. We now have an amazing group of people leaning on each other for help and becoming friends. This is something I've always wanted because in the 20 years I've been supporting my brother, I've never had anyone I can talk to consistently about the specific challenges we go through in caring for someone with this illness. There are forums and reddit but we mainly get one-off question and answers.

If you'd like join, please feel free to comment or DM me! Looking forward to chatting with you and learning more about what you're going through.

EDIT: We're actually going to have video call meetups soon. I think it's easier if I just add the our discord here. The link may change in the future so message me if you're seeing this weeks later
