Hi, I have Schizoaffective disorder, and it has been very difficult. In my community, there are few people with this disorder. I volunteer for NAMI, the National Alliance on the Mentally Ill. I teach a class that helps give skills to people like me. I'm learning that there reallly are a lot of people like me out there. But we are all so afraid to be rejected. For someone to think we are freaks or stupid. People lose patience to easily. I can really relate to feeling different!! can you?
