I have schizoaffective disorder, bipolar 1 type, and frequently have psychosis. My delusions are present to one extent or another for most of my waking hours, but I only have hallucinations when manic (and I guess I also would also have hallucinations more often if I weren't on meds, but thankfully I'm one of the lucky ones who doesn't get many side effects, so I'm 100% adherent). Thanks to my antipsychotic, I can function even with the delusions present. I work part-time and am looking to transitioning back into full-time work. I also have two graduate-level degrees. It's not fun to have psychosis, but I feel like there's a lot of hope for managing it these days. That said, it took me a long time to get to this point, so patience is key. If I can be of any further help, just let me know. Oh...and one more thing...try not to worry too much about what might happen in the future. It's something I do a lot myself, so I know I'm a hypocrite for saying that...but the "what ifs" can make you crazy if you think too much about them
