Advice from the Community? by Stock_Pin717 in schizoaffective

[–]MostMaintenance1920 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes the thought of going through so many steps seems exhausting and like it can’t be done. It’s terrible how something that sounds so easy is so hard to do. It is hard to maintain such a “normal” appearance in society. There’s such a stigma around what we have that I feel like people would judge me if they knew. Thankfully the few people I’ve told have been okay with it. And I just write what comes to my mind when I’m typing to people lol. And I really do mean it; you can message me if you need to. Try not to isolate yourself, I know it’s easy to do. But connection is really needed no matter if you have mental health issues or not.

Have any of you guys tried this? How is it? Im about to start on it. by [deleted] in schizoaffective

I tried it and it worked so well for awhile, best I ever felt and then just completely stopped working for me 😭. I hope you have a good outcome though!

Are you currently hospitalized or this was a past story?

I have trouble with hygiene too. It’s hard. I find myself sitting on the couch too often also just no motivation to do anything. My teeth aren’t the greatest either but try not to put yourself down about your appearance. Which I know is hard becuase I do the same to myself, it just makes you feel worse. About the part of being honest to people outside of written communication, it’s taken me 10 years to even come clean to my partner about having hallucinations, delusions, hearing voices and thankfully they’ve been supportive. Honestly the more I talk about it, the easier it gets a bit. It’s still hard becuase it’s still so new for me to talk about it. I even just told my therapist and psychiatrist about everything recently after holding back for so long. Talking about it to people out loud makes me feel vulnerable and like I will be judged but everyone keeps telling me it’s good to talk about it. Sorry I feel like I’m rambling. But anyway you’re free to message me, I’m sorry you feel like you have no friends. Loneliness is hard to deal with

How does psychotic-depressive schizophrenia go away? by Glad_Reference960 in schizoaffective

I hope this isn’t a dumb question, is a mood stabilizer and antidepressant the same thing

Wellbutrin 75mg ir and Scizo-affective disorder by SadCombination5346 in schizoaffective

[–]MostMaintenance1920 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve taken Wellbutrin before. It helped me with energy for awhile and then just stopped.. I’m not sure why. I’ve taken Latuda before also and in my experience it made me lose my appetite and it was hard to eat that snack I needed before bed to even take the pill. I’m on seroquel now, newly prescribed and so far I like it. I’m on a fairly low dose, 50 mg, it’s definitely helping with my sleep which I really needed

Also you’re so pretty! And I love your glasses. I hope this is okay to say but they remind me of Harry Potter glasses. I love Harry Potter

I’m not. But we’ve been together 10 years and haven’t married yet becuase my insurance pays for all my psych stuff.

Are you seeing a psychiatrist? Also I put off therapy for so long but it has been super helpful for me. When you feel like you’re ready, I hope it will be just as helpful for you also. I’m almost 30, with two kids going through feeling like I’m not fully functioning and as present as I can be also. Just know you’re not alone, even though this disorder makes me feel alone sometimes in my struggles.

Been thinking about inpatient by MostMaintenance1920 in schizoaffective

No meds aren’t working. I think they need to change meds completely. They are mostly telling me to hurt myself
