When I was a kid, only 5 or 6, teachers and counselors always thought I had attention deficit disorder. Of course many people place this label on children who are violent, impulsive, and emotional. After many years of doctors basically jacking me up on speed, they diagnosed me with bipolar disorder. But there always seemed to be something else wrong..........

Yesterday I got my test results back. I have schizoaffective disorder. I always thought I did, being the hypochondriac that I am. But the diagnosis totally fits. I abuse drugs, hide from everyone, hear everyone talking smack about me, thinking up extremely deranged things, getting so depressed I wouldn't even get out of bed for at the least 48 hours...getting so manic that I'd basically go into a drug binge blah blah blah.

I'm glad that I know what I'm suffering from so that the pain can stop. The daily stress of just LIVING can stop.

But, even with proper medication, I've heard that it's still difficult to control certain impulses and psychotic features...does anyone know how to go about this?

Peace
