I am schizoaffective and I would just like to share my experiences.
One night while smoking pot, I went schizo. It wasn't a good feeling believe me. Everything around me had a reddish tint to it and it felt like hell. I thought it would go away soon. I was wrong. Today I stand two years later wishing every day that this painful feeling will go away.

The pain is probably the worst part of being schzioaffective for me. The hallucenations and voices I can deal with; its this neverending pain that is so terrible. I was such a happy guy before all this happened. I don't even know who to tell this to anymore which is why I'm posting here.

I keep telling myself in a few more years I'll have this thing figured out.

Can anyone relate?

I've been diagnosed with schizophrenia. The voices are very annoying. The meds help though. I used to smoke pot too, I've wondered if that is what made me get this illness. Do you take meds, and do they help?
