About
So, you want to know about me? Well, let’s see. I keep starting blogs trying to figure out the best way to go about doing them. I really love WordPress and I think I’m going to be doing most of my blogging from here from now on. I am a professional college student which means I have been in college far too long. Part of the reason why I’m still in college is because I have a few difficulties because I have schizophrenia. I’m doing well now that I’m on medication and life is just great most days. My life has been utterly transformed and changed for the better because of modern medicine, my fabulous doctor, a great therapist and my terrific, loving, supportive family (and cats)! I live in the Pacific Northwest near Portland, Oregon in the United States. I do vlogging on YouTube sometimes and I am really thrilled about my new job with schizophrenia.com where I am a Video Blog Reporter working part-time. Oh, I adore Hello Kitty and all things cute, especially if they are related to animals in some way. I used to be a vegetarian, but I fell off the wagon and now I eat meat although if I really had to kill an animal myself I don’t think I could do it. I tend to be somewhat opinionated and stubborn, but I’m still a fairly nice person if you aren’t mean to me! :) Well, I guess that is about all. Please feel free to visit my other sites and take a look around. If you want to, you can always email me too!
Feel free to contact me via email or snail mail. Here is the info.:

Hi Kristin
I stumbled upon you on youtube, checked your profile and found your site! Officially I have bipolar disorder, but have had differing opinions from different psychiatrists. I think mental illness is definitely genetic and think bipolar and schizophrenia are related. Sometimes I think I might be schizophrenic but wont say anything to the doctor because in the UK a person can be locked away without having done anything if they have schizophrenia! I’ll tell you more later if you want to now.
I have two cousins on my fathers side that are permanently hospitalised with schizophrenia. My father had erratic moods, was written off as an eccentric but brilliant intellectual and he committed suicide.
Your site gives people like me hope. My life is very normal for a person who has attempted suicide several times and I am grateful for those who care.
I would love to correspond with you if you have the time. I live in Glasgow Scotland UK.
