i did not get so lucky. im 21 almost 22 and have been in the system since i was 13. nearly half my life. got dx'd with schizoaffective first time @ 15. im saying if i couldve chosen to not to go i wouldve stayed away from this system. this whole thing. idk how many times i have to tell them im not delusional even though i have this dx. i know im not. it is not my fault this is a common problem. i dont deny to hearing voices. i am not delusional though. i cannot say i am being followed to them in some way without being not believed. this did not go away on the meds. so what now? do they believe me now? no.
im considered a hassle and noncompliant because i stand up to them. well and because i do not take my meds lol. i dont for a reason. medical side effects. BUT i do not care. there is no threat. they just dont like to hear the truth.
