Welcome!

I am also a schizophrenic and that makes rationality quite challenging for me. (Not that it's not challenging for many people.)

I agree that rationality is challenging for many people, but your perspective may be unique, at least on LW. Please feel free to add your experience to the pot.

Thank you, GabrielDuquette. I hope what I add is worthwhile.

Less Wrong,

After lurking for about a week, I decided to register today. I have read some of the Sequences and a good many posts and comments. I am a life long agnostic who recently began to identify as atheist. I am interested in rationality for many reasons, however, my primary reason is that I'd like to learn more about rationality to help me get over my fear of death. A fear that I feel is very irrational, yet I am unable to shake it. I am 39, female and a mother, I have lots of college under my belt but no degree. I guess I never really cared about that. I am also a schizophrenic and that makes rationality quite challenging for me. (Not that it's not challenging for many people.)
I am looking forward to reading more of the Sequences and hope to be able to comment or post in the near future. I am glad I found this site. Thanks for your time.
