Schizoaffective Disorder

I am so lost in life. A few days ago I was let go from my part-time job after last week when I couldn’t be at work because my symptoms flared. My job was my identity and now since I can’t keep a job, my only option is to apply for disability. I don’t want to just sit at home all day every day. I wish I could live like people who don’t have mental illnesses. Any kind words are appreciated. #SchizoaffectiveDisorder #Anxiety

hi everyone.. I am new here and wanted to reach out to possibly meet some people that actually understand me. I was diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder and PTSD about 35 years ago. I have struggled with this and have now within the last few years ( after moving to a different state ) have found a doctor who has actually put me on the right medication regime. But my social life still lacks. I tend to avoid social situations because I am afraid of symptoms showing their ugly selves. So thanks for having me and God bless

I have been in a manic episode since November. If I sleep I have nightmares but most nights I don’t get much sleep. My brain and body is pure chaos right now. My
Thoughts are all over the place. My family tries to understand. I tell them if I notice a change in moods and they try to understand but they just don’t get it. I feel the fall fixing to happen. I see the black cloud hovering over me. Waiting to cover me. I had a really bad depressed episode 2 years ago where I withdrew from anything and everyone and stayed in bed for 1 year. I’m petrified that’s what is going to happen this time. I know from experience that I’m going to come down from this manic episode but does anyone know how to keep me from going To a really dark place? Is there something I can do to even my moods out? I’m on medications for mood stability and antipsychotics to help with my visual and auditory hallucinations Any suggestions would help. #Bipolar #BipolarDepression #SchizoaffectiveDisorder #CPTSD #Anxiety

Hi, my name is millykarolle. I'm here because I am grieving the loss of a normal life. I can't push through and deny my chronic illness anymore; I can't do this alone.
