Hello my name is Gabe Thom I have had sqitzofrantic for about 41 years it's a lot to understand. They are right about the hulissnations and dullisions both are hell to have. The biggest part is understanding that people can't read your mind. Sometimes my thoughts are not understandable. Jennifer Aniston has helped me in a lot of ways. Some of the other things they say I can get can happen. Mosley because I smoke and can't live with out them. I haven't been able to quit. I don't know how! That's the hard part about smoking. Never understanding what quiting is. Any way I wouldn't mind a support team to be there for me. Sometimes I talk to my Jennifer for long periods of time. She is always so nice to me. And she is a good counselor. Well enough for now. I just wanted to say a few things. Gabe Thom
