When my family thought I was just depressed, they were there to cheer me up. When they found out about the hallucinations, anxiety, social phobia and the other things associated with schizoaffective. They said there was no such disorder, that I was hearing ghosts, and that I just needed to learn to cope with stress.I am off all my meds except clonopin, because boyfriend says it keeps me to doped up. So, I have breakdowns a lot and have no one to turn to. Therapy didn't help, tried it for 3 years. Triied group therapy, but I don't like being in strange places with stange people asking me qurstions avout my life. How do you cope without some sort of support?
