I was diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder fifteen years ago. Next week will be the first time I honestly tell my doctor what I go through on a typical day. The reason why it's taken me fifteen years to get honest instead of telling the doctors the truth about the nightmare I've been living on and off the medication, sober and drunk, is that I thought my symptons were too bizarre to discuss. Just last week I started reading Surviving Schizophrenia and was shocked that what I was going through was not unique. I been off the booze for 2 months now taking medication for both schizoaffective and manic depressive disorders, however, I still haven't really told anyone the whole truth of my situation. I am hopeful that when I do, they give me the proper medication and I can put this hell behind me.
