Is there such a thing as the difference between mental and physical anxiety ? Yes! Anxiety has both mental and physical symptoms. Mental symptoms include: Racing thoughts, fear, lack of focus, aggression and irritability. Physical symptoms include: Rapid heart rate, muscle tension, shortness of breath, indigestion, sweating, and dizziness.  Lets look at this article from Mayo Clinic for more: Anxiety disorders - Symptoms and causes - Mayo Clinic Do you ever have anxiety? I often have fear and indigestion. Let me know in the comments!

 One of the challenges I have with writing my blog is not to post too much personal information. My blog can be exposed to anyone online, and safety is an important consideration. What is the best balance between good content and not telling too much about yourself? I think privacy is important.. after all, you dont want random people finding you1

Found these forums specifically for people who hear voices. I was reading through the topics, some good posts. I want to start my own forums for Schizophrenia, especially survival tips. Would you visit?   Hearing Voices Forum | Mental Health Forum

 I believe having good, supportive friends and family is very important for Schizophrenia and other mental health. It especially helps during emergencies/ Do you have supportive and loving friends and family?

 So today I have a rare and unusually good feeling. Almost like it is a holiday, where I feel both happy and secure. Ever have days like this? Let me know in the comments!

 Currently my experience of traveling with Schizophrenia is difficult. I no longer drive due to physical limitations. I don't like to take the city bus or the Taxi due to my anxiety. My social worker kindly helps me with errands, but I wonder; what would I do without hiim? Most of my traveling is walking, usually to the convenience store or a local restaurant (such as McDonalds). Do you have difficulties with traveling with Schizophrenia?

 I am thinking about making a forum as an addition to my blog. This forum would include lifestyle chat about Schizophrenia, just like my blog. However, making a forum would be a more significant undertaking than my blog as I would have to buy hosting and set up my own software. But it would also be easier as it would require less writing. (I don't like writing that much). Would you come to chat?

Being outside in nature is one of my favorite things. Where I live I have the luxury of enjoying many types of trees, grass, flowers, shrubs, and other plants and animals.  Nature is relieving and stimulating to my senses. I helps when I don't feel like being trapped indoors. Even looking at the sky is nice. I believe nature for Schizophrenia is very helpful. I think nature is an important part of our lives. Where I live it is difficult to enjoy nature in the Summer and the Winter. Spring and Fall are nice, however. This is mainly due to extreme temperatures. In recent years, my main activity in nature is walking. But previously I also enjoyed bicycling, tennis, hide and seek, tag, swimming, and other sports. Spring time is my favorite. Do you like nature? And what nature activities do you engage in?

I love V8 juice. I drink it regularly to get lots of natural vitamins that are hard to fine in supplements. I believe V8 juice is a good replacement for normal fruits and vegetables in the diet. Did you know you can mix V8 juice in the blender with other things to create fruit and vegetable smoothies? And they taste really good! You can mix it with almond milk, frozen spinach, bananas, pistachios, and more. Also, V8 juice is amazing for staying hydrated on hot days. For me it works better than Gatorade. I buy the low sodium kind and mix it with equal parts bottled water. Do you like V8 juice?

 Hello everyone. So as you know, I have schizophrenia. This, however, does not deter me from still wanting a successful life. For example, this blog. I imagine myself having a good audience to chat with about my interests. In history, there are examples of successful schizophrenics, as this Google search will show . A very famous example is Vincent Van Gogh. Schizophrenia does make an  impact on one's ability to be successful though. For me, it is a lack of motivation. I hope this will improve with time. Currently this blog is my only endeavor. I hope to make it good. Leave a comment and tell me what your ideas of success are!

 I have been listening to various music since I was a child. Most genres really, including pop, rock, classical, dance, and others. Music is entertaining and stress relieving. It always makes me feel good.  The internet is rich with music, starting with Napster back in the late 1990's. These days you can find it on Youtube, on Internet radio stations, and various streaming services. Almost everything you can think of is available. Right now I am listening to classical music at  WQXR | New York's Classical Music Radio Station . It is great, streams all kinds of classical music day and night. Anyway, I don't like to write long posts, so that's all for now!  Tell me about your music listening habbits!
