I got depression with psychotic features before i was diagnosed with schizoaffective. (As a teen). Then when i was 21, paranoid schizophrenia. But then back to schizoaffective.

Yeah it'll still be another two months before I get to see a psychiatrist. My regular doctor doesn't want to give a diagnosis because he's not a psychiatrist.

I really appreciate the input from everyone. We'll just have to see what happens...

I should get my prescription soon so hopefully the latuda does good.

No, I think she works with the hospital I was in. No picking, just her at a hearing getting all kinds of power over me.

My dx was Bipolar with psychotic features when I was 18 then when I was 19 it was changed to Schizoaffective disorder and has been that ever since.

Literally on my 19th birthday my doctor printed out some info on Schizoaffective and gave it to me and said this is what you have. Happy birthday to me? Lol

My dx has gone from possible schizophrenia, to drug-induced psychosis and now back to schizophrenia all over the course of 5 years. I think there is still uncertainty but time will tell...

So I went to the store specifically for coffee and bought everything but coffee. Will have to go tomorrow as I don't feel like leaving again.

I find it hard to finish things that I start lately. Take a book, read few pages only and then put it down. Turn on the laptop, play video games, not long after that I turn off the laptop again. Take a shower, wash my hair, and then feel the urge to stop taking a shower and so I skip the soaping. I cannot really enjoy what I'm doing. Been feeling restless and mind keeps racing as well. Still on 25 mg of Lamictal.

My dx is schizoaffective bipolar type. I'm still not sure I was ever manic. I guess I was. I lost a ton of weight by killing it at the gym everyday. I spent a bunch of money. I basically stopped sleeping. Then I crashed so as I'm typing this I guess I was manic. I don't want to be like that again but hypo would be better than depressed.

Well my pnp is mad at me. I had the pharmacy sed over a refill request for the haldol and she called me. Says we dc'd haldol is may. We cut down my haldol but never completely discontinued it. She believes otherwise. She is refilling the script but she was upset that we weren't on the same page.

Since others were sharing their DXs...

In December I got a unspecified psychosis Dx. Then in February a brief psychosis disorder. Since my pdoc learned more about my symptoms that I've been recording in a journal, he said it could be some schizophrenic or psychotic disorder, but would need more data and time to work on it.

Anyway. I hope you get some energy soon.

I think I have a cracked rib. A couple weeks ago my daughter squeezed me as hard as she could and I suddenly got a sharp excruciating pain. Since then it's been hurting quite a bit especially when I deep breathe or if there is any pressure on it. I won't go to the doctor because there is nothing they can do anyway. I just wish the pain would subside.
