I've noticed that the stress and anxiety of triggers are always followed by a depressive episode, the intensity of which is directly linked to the intensity of the traumatic event or trigger. I havent figured out if the duration of the depressive episode correlates with the magnitude or duration of the trigger. I mostly just push my way through the depressive episode using all the tools I have to keep my head above water.
Last weekend was awful because of my adult son and his schizoaffective disorder. A lot of old wounds were reopened, ambulance was called once, police were called twice. I had to go No Contact again for my own mental safety. I'm still recovering, although it doesn't feel like I'm making progress right now.
Cloudy days aren't helping. Exercise helps a little but only for a few hours. I have friends I can talk to, but talking about it isn't helping either. It's just making me relive everything. I havent been able to sleep well, and my menopause symptoms are aggravating the PTSD too.
I just want to be ok.
Thanks for listening.
Hi everyone!
I’ve read some of your posts, and I’m curious because I was diagnosed with the same condition as you, and it’s hard to accept everything. I just want to know, did the hallucinations happen only once, or did they last? I’m hoping to better understand my situation.
I have two scenarios, and in these events, you’re already feeling stressed.
For example, there’s a guy at work who really likes you. He was your sister’s friend, and she liked him, but you didn’t. A few days later, you get a new boyfriend, and everyone at work knows about it. The coworker gets heartbroken and doesn’t take it well. He develops a grudge against you. Then, you start seeing him everywhere you go, but you’re unaware that he holds a grudge. You catch a glimpse of him, and when you look again, he’s not there. You try to ignore it, but it keeps happening. When you confront him, he denies everything, and no one believes you. This continues for a year, even after you break up with your boyfriend. You start to feel fear and panic, and your sister eventually puts you in a mental hospital. The guy is still stalking you and even invades your home, but you can’t go to the police because of your health history, and you have no evidence.
Another example: when you visit a doctor’s office, you see a sign at the clinic that says “attorney.” A month later, you return to the same clinic, and the word “attorney” is no longer there.
Now, I know the second example was a hallucination because you confirmed it, and it didn’t last. But with the first example, until you have proof, it’s hard to say if it’s a hallucination.
Have you ever experienced something like this, especially the first scenario?
Hi, my name is Justtruth. I'm here because I have been diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder, and I want to learn more about how others with the same diagnosis experience reality. How do you know if what you're experiencing is real or not?

I feel totally content with the way things are going for me and my #SchizoaffectiveDisorder . It feels good that something this good could come again. Others might find it nauseating but I like it. Since starting treatment, I've been more and more flittery dee and I think this may be going away. I hope and pray that it just whimpers away like a little puppy. Please send some love because I think I just need to add to it, get me some more. I feel incredible but that's just the word I used because it seems really happy. Can't wait to see what else is in store with this thing!
My thought of the day is what gives somebody the right to diagnose a person who is, according to them, suffering from an illness or ailment, or whatever else that it is, and they fundamentally don’t understand what it is that they are saying you are suffering from. This is something that they don’t fully understand. Not surprisingly then, they don’t know what you need to cure your newfound condition! 🤯
“Well, we don’t really know how this condition actually works or what is causing it Mr. Smith, but it is definitely what you’ve got”! 👨🏼⚕️👨🏻⚕️🥼😂🤦🏽♂️
It’s absolutely bonkers if you think about it! 🤣🤪🤯
This is another wonderful,post I got off the web. It's #empowering to focus on what we #can do, possibly strengthening us so as to enable us to do even more. Dwelling on our losses- the old life, the person we used to be, the things we can no longer do, is like sabotaging our lives- it weakens us & is self-defeating & absolutely depressing. Pat yourself on the back, instead of kicking yourself in the butt, for just even not #givingup & for fighting the never-ending battle that goes with #ChronicIllness
