[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 703491, member: 18958"] Feeling. Can you tolerate an anti-anxiety medication, like Xanex or the generic? I am taking .5 mg to sleep and I sleep through the night. (After stopping the dementia-inducing Benadryl, before the onset of more severe symptoms.) I think you made the right call, Feeling. Do you think that there would be the same potential dangers and repercussions to your job, if it were known that your sister had paranoid schizophrenia? I believe it would be good for you to go public and to do advocacy, but not to do so alone, but with the support and protection of other people. Kind of like the 9/11 widows/families did, or the Sandy Hook parents/families. These people protect and support each other. Only they, one another, can truly understand, truly. They lobby aggressively and have the capacity to hire attorneys to protect the group, the cause and each other. You have done nothing wrong. Discrimination against you would be illegal. Parents have no right to attack you personally. While our sons could not be teachers, what does that have to do with us, really? Not a thing in the world. What you describe is a Salem witch hunt. I believe your fear of attack and censure might be related to your childhood experience and the insistence of your parents to act like nothing was wrong and to tell no one. Your fear of attack while realistic, also has roots in your traumatization. You did the right thing vis a vis the Post, I think. But I would support you to think about someday seeking out a group of family members who know first hand your experience. And do advocacy. Political advocacy. Why do you torture yourself this way? Feeling. You do not know this. You fear it. You do not know it. You may see him tomorrow. You do not know. Really. Stop this, please. [/QUOTE]
