I was diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder, bpd, and gad back in 2002. I have been on disability for these conditions since 2005. Most people I have encountered have no idea what schizoaffective disorder is and it would be nice to have others to converse with. I occasionally have auditory hallucinations over the years it has become increasingly infrequent. I have just one voice, always the same, I call her Alex. I was wondering if anyone else has expe rienced this. I have never been very medication compliant. It took years years just to find some medications that actually helped. Alex always tries to convince me not to take medications. She says things like, things will never get better, its just covering up symptoms you will never be cured so so what's the point. I actually kinda resent having to take medicine. Rationally I know I need it just like anyone else with a disease but unfortunately that doesn't help. I don't like the medicated me. In all honestly I like my mania, I get alot accomplished and it kinda keeps the pain on the back burner. I do know what comes after though and thats when I usually start taking my abilify again but never for very long. I do realize I need therapy and I like going to therapy but at this juncture its not possible so I am here

I had psychosis 4 times in my life and have not had it since it has been 4 miserable years of depression know they have me on a mood stabilizer 180 mg and ever since I've been on this stuff I have no motivation no energy I don't enjoy life any more . So I finally got rid of my scicitrist and went to my family doctor and he cut me back to. 80mg I could not take the depression after one week I was fine the first couple of days had a few side affects but after about the 6 day I became severely depressed. I trying to find a good scicitrist.

Cherry,I was also diagnosed with Schizoaffective disorder. Hallucinations audio and visual, but the voices although they've gone away were not the same. A man mumbling, a woman answering a man. Therapy has been constant weekly and important for me for the past 4 years. It took 15-20 different medications over 4 years to get a perfect combination for me. Hope you can also benefit from these AIDS.

I think I may have schizophrenia and I'm worried. I already have anxiety but I've been seeing things I know can't be real, I feel like people are talking behind my back saying horrible things or I'll think someone has said something horrible to me. I know it's not really happening though, I sometimes feel like I'm losing touch with reality. I'm going to go to doctors but not sure what to expect. Any suggestions? Anyone else feel like this? Advice is very welcome. im only 19.and feeling very scared about the whole thing. Thanks

A few years ago I was suffering hallucinations and hearing voices. I was diagnosed with psychosis. Spent a few days in a hospital and when I went home, things didn't improve. The voices influenced what coloured clothes I wore, what colours to avoid, what to eat and not eat, what to watch on TV, what books to avoid reading. The voices belonged to a group of angels, spirits of dead people and even loved one. Some seemed lovely but others were threatening. One "angel" threatened to blind me if I didn't do as I was told. It caused me health problems. I was put away in hospital for longer and given regular daily meds Quetiapine. I was in hospital for the whole summer and when I returned home, was still under the mental health care and got several visitors a week. A CPN, OT (occupational therapist) and a psychiatrist saw me each day. A year later the Quetiapine was reduced and I had visits only from CPN who came once a week, and I saw the psychiatrist once a month. Two years later I was better and discharged. But then I suffered depression and severe social anxiety. Put on Citalopram. I also was diagnosed with papillary thyroid cancer. Now taking thyroxin meds since I had my thyroid taken out and also on reduced Citalopram. Been in the wars, yeah but the effects of the psychosis still remain because everyone has been affected by me when I was ill. People from relatives to friends and the whole community look at me as insane and don't take me seriously. I find that I have trouble getting employment now, even voluntary work because of my mental health issues.

It's definitely difficult and challenging (sp) having a mental illness. We all have our stories of suffering and you as well. It took me 4 years to get the right medications and my pdoc says it looks like I'm one of those who will have symptoms through the meds. So that's what I'm stuck with. Good luck.

Hi I'm new to this just need some help and support. I lost my grandmother a month ago I'm not dealing with it to well. I have bipolor and schizophrenia which I accept who I am today I'm not ashamed of it. I do not take medication at all just don't want to be a lab rat on too many pills. I just need some help to working the five steps of grief we go through and I'm having a hard time.

Hi I'm new. I was diagnosed with schizophrenia in 2004 but never told why and I didn't really remember anything, so I always just denied it. Lately though I've been wondering and started looking at videos about it on youtube and it helped me remember some stuff and also realise that some things I did and do are actually symptoms. I thought it was just me! I'm glad I'm not alone here anymore. It does all add up and make sense now. I just got my meds increased yesterday due to paranoia, suicidal thoughts etc coming back. I hope having this forum will help as it wasn't talked about much on the site I used to be on. I hate all the stigma around the name schizophrenia, I'm still normal, no one would ever guess unless they could read my mind. My best friend says it's no big deal, I wish more people thought that way. If it helps anyone, my old psych said it was just a label so they know how to treat me. Well I look forward to maybe getting to know some of you

My boyfriend filed an injunction against me which was withdrawn but it has caused me a lot of pain...the judge made us promise not to see each other but I found out later that he wanted us to have no contact..That doesn't work for me..I cry all day every day and just lie in bed all day...I miss him so very very much. But I am still emailing him and will be emailing him in a few weeks..the psychiatrist toldme to tell him how sad I am and how much I miss him but not to tell him how badly he hurt me as that would make his delusion more fixed....I just am not sure but all I know is that this man is the sweetest person I have ever known and certainly the only man who loved and accepted me for who I am just as I am...we connected on so many levels, emotional and spiritual..we never even kissed as I didn't let him but he told me he was deeply in love with me three times....more than he had been with his wife....I just want him back so very very badly..

Some theories says that it poisones itself by LSD-like substance called LSD-25. In adition there are chambers in brain, and these chamber in schizophrenics are smaller than usual. They blikk with their eyes more regularily than healthy people.

Hello. I'm glad to be here. Thank You for the forum. It's quite relaxing here. I'm a diagnosed Paranoid Schizophrenia. I'm ok, your ok. I wish there was a cure. I lived a very productive life before my illness. Marriage, kids, business, volunteered, and went to a university. I started a mental illness awareness blog. It has a lot of good stuff on schizophrenia. I'm still dealing with a lot o f stigma but I felt the need to share.
