jaslkjflaksjflkajsf. i keep having obsessive thoughts about someone i got rid of in my life. i thought maybe i missed them, so i contacted them, and just no. now i can't stop thinking of either self-harm or harming this person. i wouldn't do either, but the obsessive thoughts are driving me insane. i've played like 15 hours of skyrim to try and focus on something else, not working, lol.

anyway, other than that, i'm doing alright. not excited about christmas, just want it to be over. i always am irritated during the last few months of every year. from like september to january i get weird. haha.

Hello Everyone! I have been missing in action for quite some time. I started school up again this past fall and with four classes, I was super busy. I managed a perfect semester even though I had two surgeries and numerous health issues.
Last night I got really scared and paranoid and wanted to discuss it with my fiance, but he basically just blew me off and went to bed. I felt like I was having a psychotic slip and panic attack, but there was not place for me to turn to as it was like 12:30 a.m. Eventually I got tired and fell asleep on the couch. I think I need to have a talk with my fiance, because he has been very unsupportive of me when it comes to my illnesses and my mental health. I feel like I cannot talk to him anymore about these things. I think that might be a breaker for me if I cannot turn to him in times of need. We are supposed to get married in August after being with each other for 12 years in August 2016. I am hoping that he does not change like my ex-husband changed after we got married. I am too old to be messing around with mind games or power struggles. I think that I need to have a talk with him.
Anyway, does anyone else have a similar situation where you need someone to talk to to maybe keep you grounded when you are in a psychotic episode, but no one wants to hear what you are experiencing to help you? I just feel like he thinks that for the past year, I'm making crap up. Why would I do that? I just need to have someone who can relate to what is happening to me. I think it is because I went for so long without these issues and they started up consistently last December (so about a year now). O.k. o.k., I wrote another book. Sorry, I am just a little wordy.

Great job on your semester of school Spincera! I will be starting back up this Spring.

I'm sorry about the situation with your fiance, maybe you can bring him to a therapy appointment with you or psych appointment and help him understand more why you need support?

I hope you have a wonderful Christmas

Hello … I was diagnosed with bipolar in 2011, but my diagnosis recently changed to schizoaffective (undetermined type), so I guess I'll be hanging out in this forum more often.

I've had two hospitalizations and then a few other long periods of time where I was psychotic before I started meds and cooperating with treatment. I'm still trying to determine what stable looks like for myself, as well as recognizing when I'm in an episode, but I'm getting there. Right now I'd say I'm depressed but functioning pretty well overall. How about yourself?

I kinda know what you mean by try to determine what stable is.

for me I feel completely normal but I'm not so sure what it is about being normal that makes it so. Once you've had an episode and had your mind ripped open you can't go back to things being totally the same, there's just some stuff about an episode i.e phantom voices that you can't believe you ever heard in the first place.

My episodes came on naturally, and I feel that they occur more random than then on a cycle.

Give it time though, if you stick with treatment you will see what it feels like to be out of an episode. I understand though it's hard for some because there are no magic pills for treating the disorder.

Be completely honest with the health care providers, tell them everything.

This is my first post in the sza forum, so hi everyone.
I've been doing well since going up on my clozapine, and even moods since the new year. Only a little bit of voices every now and then. Sleeping like a baby
