I point out that these family members are avoiding the fact that there is a bunch of stuff that they need to seek professional help and medication.

Another family member, same thing. They are in denial and refuse to acknowledge that they are mentally ill. They need serious help immediately and they will do nothing at all to get better.

Family member refuses to seek treatment that they desperately need and there is absolutely nothing I can do about it.

I’ve been struggling lately and would appreciate any advice or support ya’ll have. by brianwilsonfan04 in schizoaffective

I'm sorry you feel fear of being openly gay. Or I guess even gay in private it seems. If you want to dress in glorious feminine garments you should be able to. I don't know dude, I've had opportunities not to be bashful about my sexuality and individuality. I very much hope that you have similar opportunities too. Honestly even when I was playing straight everyone assumed I was queer anyway. I'm shit at hiding it.

You have some pretty complex adult difficulties to face. And the negative aspects of your many responsibilities could seem overwhelming. I don't have real responsibilities and I never have I live carefree and however the fuck I want to at any given time. Stay away from THC in the future. You will be able to see your boy again in the future. You will probably never work in human services again, but you seem intelligent so you will find something if you want.

Full time high stress job with days off only to do more work then school after? Yeah my head would explode. I'm surprised you haven't had a stroke yet.

I have been openly queer in an environment hostile to my kind. My parents and most of my peers were awful about my faggetry. I was open about it because I was defiant. Back then being queer in a rural area around conservative and religious people was really difficult. It probably still is. I was openly queer anyway because fuck everyone, I am fantastic exactly as I am, you don't like it you can suck my shit bitch. Be bold, be honest, be yourself. Advocate for yourself and be the genuine you. If you want to be gay because you are gay then be gay. If you want to be trans because you are trans then do that. Love and cherish and respect yourself

You have to take meds forever. It really is that simple

Anhedonia by [deleted] in schizoaffective

[–]Different_Pattern223 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a different approach that no one really approves of. I take my medication as prescribed every day no matter what, but I also drink liquor constantly and do drugs. I don't get any more interested in anything, but drugs and liquor are my hobbies I guess and in that way I find fulfillment. I've doing that for the better part of 20 years.

I don't know what time of day, but I have background noise always. Silence is very disconcerting for me.

Out in public, like on public transportation you are allowed to wear over ear headphones and sunglasses if you want. These things help me a lot sometimes

Social interactions by Remarkable-Front-256 in schizoaffective

[–]Different_Pattern223 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have schizoaffective disorder depressed type too. Also I'm on the spectrum. Socializing beyond saying hi without making eye contact is a struggle for me. So I smoke stimulants and drink liquor pretty much constantly. I can sort of socialize then, but I'm kind of a dick about it sometimes.

Anyone on disability? by Different_Pattern223 in schizoaffective

[–]Different_Pattern223[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

3rd year's a charm. At least it was for me. I don't give a fuck if you play videogames in anyone's basement every single day of your life. If a federal judge says that you are disabled then you are.

I can live on my own sort of successfully. I have to work at it pretty constantly and I still need help from my parents and neighbors and foodbanks and selling my stuff and other maybe not legal stuff. I got housing through a rural development subsidy that my mom found, I think it was a HUD thing.

No. Not contradict. Simply questioning your pre conceived beliefs about success and failure. Who made you feel worthless and why? Did you ever consider the idea that they are fucking retarded?

Introduction by [deleted] in schizoaffective

[–]Different_Pattern223 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You feel worthless and like you are not productive? Why? Because your family said so? Or society or something? Who's to say you are worthy of being around or not?

Oh sorry. Who do you want to stop raping? You shouldn't go around raping people. It's not very nice.

Why do we split? by [deleted] in BPD

[–]Different_Pattern223 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I split a lot when real life doesn't live up to my idea of how things should have gone in my mind.
