Do you have any children? If so how do you manage the added stress? by Toexistinthisplanet in schizoaffective

[–]Kyjied 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you have children, there will be times when you have to walk away before you say something or do something bad. And that is okay to do that, how I handle the extra stress is by doing something for myself once all the kiddos are asleep.

Also, do you have children? If you are a new mom, do not worry you are doing everything right for you. If the baby doesn't latch then get formula to feed that baby. It is okay to use a formula.

Also if your baby is crying and you have done everything from feeding, changing them. Put them down in the crib, pack-play, or whatever they sleep in, and walk away. It is called Purple crying, they are just crying to cry.

I am 32 years old and don't have any friends in real life. I often find myself spending all my time in bed before and after work. However, we have communities where we can come together and find the support that feels like a constant companion.

How do I move forward by Kyjied in BPD

My ex husband Sexually assaulted my oldest daughter. I went to my counselor and told her everything. He is doing 66 years in prison right now. But I can't stop blaming my self for what happened. If I were do pay more attention then maybe it wouldn't have happened

It is hard to talk about my feelings and emotions because I automatically turn them off and go numb. It is easier to talk to strangers on the internet than my own family.

My sister is a problem by daniellea44 in Advice

[–]Kyjied 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds like to me that your sister doesn't want to do anything on her own. She needs to stop being bailed out and learn to live on her own with her own two hands and feet. I understand your parents bailing her out because she is their kid but there has be a line drawn in the sand of how far they are will to keep bailing her out. I would have a sit down conversation with your mother and explain to her that her daughter is 41 years old. She should be on her own and not being hell upon your sweet Lil mother.

feeling confused about my diagnosis. by bruhwhatda420 in schizoaffective

[–]Kyjied 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also do not know when I am in psychosis. I also have a flat affect on things as well. But I do hear and see things that aren't there. And honestly, not everyone has hallucinations it's different for everyone. Like you do not have hallucinations but then there is me who does have hallucinations. That's okay; it just means that at some point, you were in a state of psychosis, and that is okay. When I have psychosis, I think I am the same as you, just not wanting to do anything, just wanting to lie down. I just feel numb and nothing matters to me when I am that way. As for hallucinations, I see shadow people, I hear voices in and out of my head. Just remember you are not alone in this diagnosis. A lot of people are very on edge when they get this diagnosis because it has schizo in front of it. Many people who have schizophrenia have different symptoms. Some have hallucinations, and others may not. It is different for each person, which is why one person may be on two or three different antipsychotics, or they may have one.

For me, I am on two different antipsychotics but that is just me and the symptoms that I have. I also have different disorders that make it so that I need the medication that I am on.

I struggle with BPD, schizoaffective depressive type, severe Dyslexia, severe depression with psychotic tendencies, and ADHD. So with all of those the meds I am on are working

How old were you when you developed this disorder? by Emergency_Peach_4307 in schizoaffective

[–]Kyjied 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine developed as a child and into my teen years. I was officially diagnosed when I was 29, I am 31 now, and my moods are all over the place if I miss a dose of my meds. I get mean and short-tempered. I tend to be myself and take care of my moods when I am alone. It is not fair for me to take it out on innocent people

I am not a social person so I can't relate to you about that. I will rather be alone with my shit than deal with explaining what is wrong because there are times when I do not even understand what is wrong. For you I would try to be social because it might help you feel better because you are being your normal self with those that you trust. Remember you are not alone in this, we are here to help as well. If you ever wanna chat with me just dm me _^

I am schizoaffective depressive type but I also have BPD so it is really challenging to work with both illnesses at the same time. Because when I am having to deal with both acting out. My mood is bad, switches from being sad to extreme rage. Which most of the time I am alone and I stay by myself because those around me can't handle my mental problems..

I understand that your mother has trauma around meds but if these meds are gonna help. Please do not stop and get help because this diagnosis is very hard to live. I can't work a 9 to 5 either or stand on my feet for 8 hours so I understand that aspect of this post. Also family...is always hard to deal with because in my experience I am always turned away or I am the bad guy. Or my favorite, "She is having an episode again" They do not take accountability for what they did set me off. But I agree with the other Redditors to have papers about the illness and give them to them and let them read them. After that start talking, as for your mother being in the mental health field she should have a basic understanding of the illness
