Schizoaffective Disorder

Paradox arises for me where my concepts no longer suffice to grasp reality. I think through distinctions: self and world, freedom and necessity — yet each captures only a fragment. When I try to encompass the whole, or to understand a thought that examines itself, tension emerges. A paradox, then, need not be an error; it may mark the boundary of my perspective.For me, maturity does not consist in choosing one side, but in asking in what sense both may be true. Paradox is not an obstacle on the path to wisdom — it can be its gateway.

Hi Mighty fam! 🌷

Sometimes it's really challenging for me to be patient with myself. When I feel as though I could be doing something "better," or when I think I should have moved on from something and it peeks its head again, I can be quite self-critical. I want to be more patient with myself when "old" feelings or patterns resurface.

Does anyone else relate? What's something you'd like to be kinder and more patient with yourself about?

Silly isn't the opposite of serious — it's what's left when you stop performing seriousness for people who were never really watching. I've noticed the moments I felt most like myself were rarely the polished ones; they were the ones where I let something small and unguarded show. That's not a lapse in dignity. It's dignity finally off duty.#SchizoaffectiveDisorder #Schizophrenia #BPD #Borderline #BorderlinePersonalityDisorder #Anxiety #MentalHealth #PTSD #Addiction #ADHD #Mania #BipolarDisorder #BipolarI

Hi Mighties! 🦋

I was wondering what you all thought about what's been working for your mental health and why. Out of these options—support groups, a mental health class, one-on-one therapy, or something entirely different—which has been most helpful to you? This applies whether you are living with a mental health condition or challenges yourself or are a family member or friend of someone who is.

For me, one-on-one therapy has really been helpful, but I've been thinking about exploring other options since I can now see my therapist only once a month.

What are your thoughts? 💬
