Schizoaffective Disorder Explained

[@ShutterSpeedGaming]

I have this. I stay in the house all the time and my moods change all the time. I see a psychiatrist regularly.

[@mitchclover258]

Same, I have always been indoors, but as I hit my 20s it got really bad. I'd rather never leave my house if I could

​@@mitchclover258how do you work? Does medication not help.

[@mitchclover258]

@@negril7446 I dont/can't, iv been pulled from service and put on permanent disability. That's the thing, people think meds are a magic cure, even on them I am not and will not ever return to a fully functional status, they just somewhat keep me from sinking to the absolute bottom

[@kayla-kr5dx]

I have this. After spending time in the hospital I’m finally on the right medications. Not every day is easy but I have a wonderful partner and friends, and I’m in university to be a social worker. There is hope for you or your loved one.

The music is terrible in this video. Good content but the music is depressing dreary and dark.

I have this. I’m highly functional, had a career in the military, got a college degree and live a rather normal life. It makes me sad to see some people really struggling with this. I’m not medicated and Have a pretty good control over this. I practice stoicism and take steps to cut BS out of my life but of course, I have my bad days. Maybe one day I’ll lose control and fall deeper into it, for now, I pass as totally normal.

[@heronofheaven]

Not medicated? How can you do that? No way.

[@WVProtagonistAirgunner]

@@heronofheaven yeah, I keep myself calm most of the time, avoid stressful situations. Have klonopins for anxiety attacks, but I don’t but rarely take it. As long as I’m calm, rational, and realistic I can distinguish between delusion and reality, that and I have a good poker face. I can act and pass as normal. And most days I am. I used to be normal and remember what it was like to be. I just remember that there’s usually people watching me so I shouldn’t be acting schizo lol and if I can’t do that then I isolate

[@d_wreck_]

I understand you completely. But I had to get on em. Mine got out of hand, could no longer deal with it on my own. This is just easier for me.

[@clarkme8952]

I have schizoaffective depressive type. Ptsd, gad Im currently on eight medications and see a Therapist regularly.

[@GeorgeFafa]

How long have you had it? 8 medications sounds a lot, do they work? Do you feel you can control it?

[@LaCosa973]

They had me on risperidone i felt like i was under water at the gym🤣🤟

[@BB-yw1ez]

I think 8 medications is too many. How do you cope with it? Also, it’s beneficial to exercise and meditate regularly and eat a carnivore diet. Avoid processed foods.

[@mitchclover258]

I'm bipolar type, I'm on so many pills and injections I feel sick

[@mitchclover258]

​@BB-yw1ez are you schizoaffective? 8 is actually kinda low.. the meds I'm on require I take supplements to offset damage to my body, take a whole fist full a day

[@Maggietheebaddie1948]

I’m finally admitting my disorder and spiritual abilities and medicine and inner child healing and being grounded and coping skills. Affirming and persisting and affirming overcoming bad habits and creating healthier habits. Being open and honest and try to heal and grow and evolve and putting my mental health first and respecting others mental health and if I’m blessed to have romantic relationship and children with supportive support system. Thank you for explaining in nice and supportive ways. ❤

[@tarabrockgreitens8487]

Because I finally can see how messed up this world can be; I just pretend I'm NOT scared or that I'm a robot; however; because of my Disorders they greatly affect me so much that I need counseling and maybe medicine plus anti depressants; I don't know I hate this disorder plus I have a nervous disorder also I hate it. Have a good day.

[@Rawwdogg_teet]

I was diagnosed with this a few years ago. Life has been hell, this is barely an explanation. All roads lead to the same place so why must we continue to suffer? Why can't we have peace like the dying patient? There is nothing for me here except more pain

[@MarkLewis-s5h]

I have this I feel suicidal because of it

[@MarkFive-ro6lu]

Same🙏

[@MommaRose956]

My son has this. He no longer speaks to me, his reasons are not valid. They were actually cruel, he’s repeatedly told people things that never happened. My question is if he gets help will he understand these beliefs aren’t real? Or will beliefs formed before therapy never be understood?

[@surplusrevenge2013]

something definitely has happened

[@MommaRose956]

@@surplusrevenge2013 🙄. No…sadly my son’s bio mother also has this.

[@KellyBSmith-xo6vl]

My niece started out doing the same thing, but once she got treatment, all of that stopped.

[@MommaRose956]

@@KellyBSmith-xo6vl Thank you! You gave me hope!

[@alpinemonolith]

They can be. It will take a long time though. Just keep reminding him that you love him. Send little deposits to his bank account weekly or send short emails every few weeks signed "with all my love, Mum"

Food is important and vitamin plus councilling and sleep and being around caring people

[@GennaroNatale-i9n]

Please, my suffering is all caused by the tinnitus, so my sadness and depression, all caused by this MK Ultra torture. Please let me go, no more pain please, I have been hurting for over 12 years, I want to be free from this nightmare and be happy again. Please let me go. I am begging 🙏🏻
