Yes I am mentally ill and schizoaffective and have been now for more years of my life than I have not been. I am struggling daily with trying to find some sort of balance or beginning to socialize even if it has to be online now in my life, my physical illnesses outnumber my Mental Illnesses but am trying to cope with both mental which has been part of me longer than the physical and I do not leave the apartment much except to go get food and soda and other things maybe every other day I have to leave the apartment every day or I will not be able to go out at all. I never in all my life ever thought that I would be as alone as I am now in my life and I struggle so bad with the mental illness and what to say and do and even to be able to recognize my feelings. I feel mostly alone in the world I have no friends but I once did and am going to try to connect with people here and use this resource and am saving to get a new computer and am hoping to do better and live at least 10 more years if not longer, I am thankful to God and glad that he is with me. I see a lot of good reply's here and a lot of positive people been away for too long and hope to connect with and make some new friends here. thank you if you read this and I read yours.
