Haven't been active in the blog....here's why

Hello again,

I have not been adding to my blog recently because I have been feeling quite well lately and work and personal lives have been extremely busy. Although I would like to update my blog daily, I simply cannot find the time to add to it more than once in a while these days.

Seasonality--

I have both a seasonal AND a cyclical component to my disorder. Each fall and winter, I am virtually without the symptoms of my disease. Then, during the spring and summer time, I feel more symptoms, and not coincidentally, my only episodes have been in the spring and summer time. These periods have been difficult for me to understand and have an almost opposite pattern to the seasons as one would expect. The periods in which there is a lack of daylight, it seems, is when I feel my best.

Cyclical--

Every four years, like clockwork (in the spring and summer times) I have an episode. Ever since I had my first episode ever in 1999, it has taken a four year cycle. 2003 was bad again, then again in 2007. Each time, the severity of the symptoms have lessened, but not fully gone away.

In conclusion for this entry, I look forward to the day when either my symptoms get to a point where they are almost non-existent, OR they find a cure for schizophrenia.
