Hi, I'm a person living in the North East of England who has schizophrenia. I have been in and out of hospital between 2001-2004. This blog will be notes about my experiences as a patient (aka client) both in hospital and in the community. . What is schizopanic? Its the panic that flashes through someone's eyes when you tell them you've got schizophrenia.

Cinema and Mental Health
I went to see Blue Jasmine recently. It was a good film with a real life kind of ending. Cate Blanchett was excellent as Jasmine. We get to see the side effects of a mental health problem but it's not mentioned in the film's dialogue - but Jasmine does take a lot of pills.

- Sheldon watches science fiction written by amateurs. I read science fiction written by gifted authors.
- Sheldon says Bazinga. I say Woot Woot.
- Sheldon endlessly promotes his high intelligence. I endlessly promote FLOSS (free) software especially Linux.
Reasons why Sheldon is like me.
- We've both got OCD.
