Does anyone else struggle when therapists or psychiatrists ask who your supports are?
My mom is there for me usually, and she even brings me to appointments when I'm not well enough to go alone. She's the only one I can say is a support. I don't have any friends.

I feel the same way. I feel like I'm actually alone and the only person who has this disorder because I've never met anyone else in person with schizoaffective or schizophrenia. :/ I'm finding out I'm having a really hard time opening up or trusting any therapist. I go for the first meeting and never go back because by then, I've convinced myself into something horrible. It's exhausting.

Though I have 4 siblings, a mom and husband, I only get support from my daughter and lately she has been distant. My crazy conversations, looks on my face or lack there of keeps them at bay. I can't get the support I need as well. Even my therapist is becoming distant and cold.

But I encourage you to keep getting help and seeing your therapist and be so happy that your mom is supporting you. It would be better to have more support, but it only takes just "one somebody to care". Yea! mom!

Best wishes
