Are there any laws that can protect one from losing everything when Schizoaffective disorder is at the root of it all. I was diagnosed just after losing a business I ran for 7.5 years. my dream, and it was going well. someone sensed my getting ill in the Prodromal phase and took advantage of it big time. Somehow talked me into selling it for 50k which is nothing and then never paid a dime. I asked for help from the DA who put her away for other crimes, yet they never wanted to help me out because I wasn't loud like the other victims she defrauded. I was too scared yet I was her biggest victim. Others came forward and were awarded 3,000 for this or that. The police and gov know nothing about what it's really like for us. I just wonder if anyone has any advice. I tried a lawyer who was an absolute worthless ......um, laywer? Yes, he didn't believe in me because I didn't. I was weird, so he didn't want to work for me. I was quiet, never violent. Just nervous and sick.
Thanks

I'm so sorry you had to go through this. Statistics show that we are more often the victim then the oppressor. People with mental illness are often preyed upon. I hope that you can regain your life and get some semblance of happiness back again and try not to blame it on your illness. It's just because the lady was a bully and a criminal. There's nothing wrong with you. Good luck

If they didn't pay you then they violated the contract in selling your business...why do they still have control?

Hi,

I have to say that I am really sorry this happen to you, but you are not alone. I dated someone for a year and a half who swindled me out of $15,000, when he left to move to another country shortly after he dumped me, it caused me to start to have worsening SA symptoms, stress brought on Mania and psychosis...I ended up packing everything in my to car and driving cross country, 3100 miles in three days stopping to sleep an hour here or there. I was bankrupted and swindled by a sociopath. I feel pray to one of these parasites. I have a book recommendation for you that changed my life.

Introducing NLP: psychological skills for understanding and influencing people.
by: Joseph O'Connor & John Seymour

I recommend this because as SA, we are more likely to be taken advantage of and until the day we die, people are always going to try. This book helped me to understand my SA as well as spotting these kinds of people.

I would go hire an attorney and sue them for non-payment. There may be nothing you can do to have this person arrested for swindling you like that, so you are going to have to learn to protect yourself from it happening again.

Be well my friend.

I also was swindled into purchasing a home that ended up being 100,000 over priced but by nature I took the deal and thought I was on the winning end. In the end I ended up in bankruptcy and lost it and all the work I put in, from onset of psychosis. The guy I bought it from bought it back from the bank all fixed up at 100,000 under price. I found out he literally watched me fall apart and loose the house just so he could buy it back at under price. He saw I was an ill person and took advantage cause that is what people seem to do know a days. I just look back and refer to it as an experience that i learnt from. Now I own another home bought and paid for no one can take from me. Psychosis is hard but it teaches us to mindful of everything people try to pull over on us.
