General Hallucinations - PTSD or Schizophrenia?

[pandora]

Oh...........the best of luck to you! As you might know i am in Niagara Falls and quite often Toronto is the place to go when you need good advice and assistance. Hopefully they will be able to help. Take Care

Niagara Falls is spectacular, as I'm sure you are tired of hearing, since you live there pandora. Jim and I were married there however, so it holds a special place in our hearts. Thank you for reminding me of it, it slipped my mind we will be so close to the Falls whilst in Toronto. Perhaps we can sneak in a short visit one day.

Toronto is a great place and filled with many great doctors I've found, I did not get any help until moving out here. If you plan to come out here you should try to drop by China town on Spadina for there is a shop called Kikiwai that I think Evie would love. Floor toe ceiling manga and art books for not very much of a price. It is a great place to find all kinds of art inspiration and the like. I go there a lot when I have some spare money and now have way too much stuff around here, but it is all art referance I tell you. LOL.

Well have fun in TO. If you are not afraid of hights there is the CNTower as well. A great place to see the entire city. I took my wife up there for our first date and planned it so we reached the top just as the sun was setting. The best memory of all time I can tell you that.

Anyways, Have a safe trip. Jaa ne

That would be great Kathy. I actually wrote to Evie about and she said she is not up to meeting anyone right now but she may feel differently about it later or when the time comes. I would love to meet you guys if Evie is up to it. When is it that you are coming again?

 

[Kathy]

I am not yet certain of the exact dates pandora, however it will likely be the first or second week of September. If we do get a chance to travel to Niagara Falls and Evie is still not comfortable with meeting you, Jim and I would be pleased to meet with you on our own if you desired it. I do hope you do not take Evie not being ready as a slight against yourself, as although she is quite active and outgoing upon this forum, in "real life" she is exceedingly bashful and fearful of people in general. I do believe it would be good for her to try to meet you despite discomfort, however that will be up to her; we no longer push her in this regard, as she does become extremely fearful. This is all tentative however as we have not as yet made definite plans.

It would be great to meet you all. I will ask Evie again when the time is right. i would really enjoy that and i am sure Evie would too. I am really shy as well but I would love to meet you guys. I look forward to it, it would be wonderful to put faces to people i have met on here. i really hope we can talk Evie into it. Maybe I can get her to meet me on chat one day. I know she is unesy about that but maybe i will give it a try. i look really harmless (ha ha) Take care please keep me posted as to when you think you might be in toronto.

 

[Kathy]

I am most certain you are harmless pandora! :tongue: That is not really the issue with Evie, moreso I believe that she feels badly about herself and therefore wants to hide from others. She sees a very different person in the mirror than everyone else sees, as you can probably relate to. If you can convince Evie to go into the chat, I would be most grateful. She has a camera and videoconferences for work, however she has not chatted on the forum for quite some time. Jim and I are not entirely certain why, as she used to chat quite frequently. I believe the bottom line is she is afraid to be hurt. She has been hurting quite intensely since Brian's death, though she doesn't speak of it much. If we come to Niagara Falls it would be lovely to meet you, with or without Evie. I will keep you informed as to the dates.

 

[pandora]

i will wait awhile so that Evie is feeling stronger and then i will ask her one day. She has been following my journal as well so maybe she will be a little more comfortable knowing i really understand some of the things she is experiencing in the same sort of way. If I ever gey up enough courage to keep going ,UUUUUUUUUHHHHHHHH. Anyway take care and I look froward to our meeting if it can be arranged. Take Care.

 

[Kathy]

As I say pandora I truly believe it has little to do with you personally. Evie is simply very shy and needs to improve on her social skills with everyone. I will keep you informed as to when we are visiting Toronto. I am still not entirely certain of dates.

 

[pandora]

Thank you and take good care of all of your family!

 

[Jim]

Oh. Should mention before we forget. Pandora, our trip to Ontario is now postponed indefinitely, due to Evie's illness. However. Be assured, we will let you know our future plans. Likely not until the new year now.

Jim.

Sorry to hear that, i kind of was thinking the same thing. Take care of yourself and i pray for a speedy recovery for Evie. Let me know when the time is right.
