Schizoaffective Disorder

I really hope I lose all this unwanted weight and keep it off permanently. In the past I was on Adipex (a weight loss pill), I lost all the weight on the pill but when I stopped taking it I ended up gaining back more weight and it damaged my skin with deep acne scarring. I want to lose all this weight naturally and safely and to never gain back any unwanted weight. It would mean the absolute world to me if I lost all this unwanted weight and kept it off permanently

My doctor says I need to lose it. It would mean the absolute world to me if I lost all this unwanted weight and kept it off permanently. Please don’t comment saying it’s okay to be overweight or stupid stuff like that because nobody wants to be fat unless if you are stupid. I just hope I lose all this weight and keep it off permanently

So, I live with schizoaffective disorder and OCD, and my baseline is depressed honestly. But I spent a year writing a book, and it's like my pain turned into something beautiful when I published it on Amazon. Beauty for ashes as they say. I'm beyond excited. My author copies arrive tomorrow in the mail. I'm not gonna post a link cause I'm not trying to sell it on here. I'm just happy that my pain turned out to mean something and I wanted to post a little blurb about my happiness. #Depression #MentalHealth #SchizoaffectiveDisorder

Hey guys, I don’t think this will get lots of attention, but I wanted to share my story of an experience I faced yesterday.

I’d like to share an experience I recently had at a local restaurant where I was mocked and insulted by the owner and her friend. They called me “weird” and “creepy,” claiming I “intimidate locals” because I walk around town. The truth is, I can’t drive due to my disability and medication—walking is how I stay independent.

They also accused me of not paying for food, even though I do most of the time, or bring friends/family who order. Others in the community do the same or even keep unpaid tabs—but I’m the one singled out. I’m on the autism spectrum and live with multiple disabilities.

I believe this treatment was not only hurtful, but a clear example of ableism. I’m hoping to raise awareness and start a broader conversation about how businesses treat neurodivergent and disabled people. I’d be grateful if you could help share my story or guide me to the right place to tell it.

Thank you for your time and advocacy.
For context, the restaurant is called “The Dale” in Mountain Dale, NY. I have schizophrenia, epilepsy, Asperger’s disorder, and a essential tremor disorder which makes it hard for me to walk, do things independently, and makes me act quiet or very talkative in certain circumstances. I do not have a record of any violence, I just take lots of medications so sometimes I stare off into space or look grimaced.

Not sure if anyone will find this interesting, but I sometimes have moments of lucidity into what it’s like living with schizoaffective disorder. I’m not up to date on the latest research, but from my experience, I believe the "split" in schizophrenia is actually a survival or coping mechanism in response to extreme duress.

When I’m not split from myself, I’m much more sensitive to pain. I notice how my skin can feel like it’s burning, and how each passing moment carries a suffocating gravity with it. It’s difficult to sit with these sensations, but meditation has helped me find ways to channel and understand the pain and discomfort. In a lot of ways, it’s helping me come back to myself — one little step at a time. Acknowledging and understanding why the pain is there, and then integrating it into my life, rather than numbing it out or splitting away from it. It’s agony sometimes, but it’s worth it to feel anything again.

I think the disorganized thinking often seen in schizophrenia is a symptom of that split. When you create a second self that’s numb to what your authentic self is experiencing, you lose your true anchor. It becomes easy to get caught up in the whirls and eddies of other people’s consciousness and motives, without realizing you’ve become completely detached from your own values. (This is actually what my children’s book was about.)

When the second self gets corrupted, it’s understandable that the personality loses its integrity and becomes fragmented and disorganized.

Those of us with schizoaffective disorder are a small subset of the population — but in some ways, I think this happens to everyone, just to different degrees. I’m grateful I’m making progress in navigating this disease. If sharing this helps someone else who’s struggling, even better.#SchizophreniaSpectrumPsychoticDisorders #schizoaffective #Schizophrenia
