I think that at this point in my illness it looks a hell of alot like a Schizophrenic/Schizoaffective illness. That means that I'll never recover right? I'll never be a writer like I had dreamed because no one ever recovers from those disorders right? (Except John Nash. But he's Bipolar anyways)

Hey Phil,
I don't know if that Dx "goes away" but I do not think it should keep you from being a writer - why on earth do you think it would do that? You are writing now and your writing makes sense. Some of the world's greatest writers had staggering mental illnesses (mostly untreated) and still managed to create profound works. Do not give up on being a writer, do not give up on yourself - look to your strengths and use them.
Take care.
