My symptoms started at 9. It was first paranoia and delusions. If there were any hallucinations, I wasn't aware. It wasn't until 13 I became very aware of my voices and visuals. I wasn't diagnosed until 18. Hell. I didn't know anything was wrong until I was 18. Talk about slap in the face. I'll never forget the day my ex read my the symptoms of schizoaffective disorder and how my heart and stomach dropped because it felt like someone was studying me and wrote my life on a website as an illness. I only had one hospitalization before that. I tried to kill myself at 14 and got caught. I refused to leave the hospital unless my mom promised me I could see a doctor about my paranoia. She lied. My hallucinations and everything just kept increasing until my voices are now 24/7 (I've had two times where I heard nothing since they became constant at 17. 30 minutes max but still). Now I'm going to be 25 this year. I just started trying to take classes again part time. The only real class I have is remedial math. My other are jus private singing lessons. I added class piano for fall.
