My parents were so worried as I was only 11. I used to hallucinate, I would hear voices telling me I was fat but I thought it was other kids saying it behind my back. I only realised it wasn't many years later. I then had a big psychotic break at age 14 where I refused to leave my house for two years, missed school and lost friends. I was extremely depressed and delusional. I didn't get diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder until my late teens, where I was very manic for the first time ever. Very depressed too. I have been switched between bipolar and schizoaffective disorder a few times.

Why weren't you diagnosed at age 14?

Mania kills cells. Brain cells die. Memories become more reduced conceptually, making more efficient use of limited means. Memories shape our reality. Our memories are more or less split in two by abstractions, conceptual reductions. Mood states with memories, concepts, attached. Memories of pain and those of joy. It causes instability, changeability. Fearing that will leave an emptiness between pain and joy and a greater divide.
See Me, Feel Me, Touch Me, Heal Me.
