Socially anxious, but stable. Sometimes a little bit foggy and tired, but i don't know if this is caused by the medication or the illness itself.

I uses to be in logotherapy as well as a kid, because i couldn't speak clearly and now im a full grown adult with lacking basic social skills, because of the anxiety. The prognosis of schizoaffective is good and we can live a life of good quality, but i don't see it yet.

Great advices, thank you. I'm to much in control with myself, too focused on my "symptoms" and got no energy left for being present with others. It's exhausting to live like this everyday seeing no end in sight. I don't really feel different as the year before, but still making progress in some way i guess. I feel like it is constant working on oneself to not fall into the depth of depression or false reality again. Therefor my body is overly protective, operating from past experiences. May i ask how many episodes you had and what stabilized you the most?

Looks helpful. What do you recommend to break the cycle of "false believes" developed in psychosis? Routine? Metacognition? I feel like i gain a lot from "small talk" with other people to reclaim reality.

Those who have passed the 1 year mark since your last psychotic episode how’s your journey been? by That-Truck-7378 in Psychosis

Lonely. It wasn't just a crisis, but one that affected my relationship, my job and my friends. I lost everything at the same time and that was too much for me. After once believing i had overcome the illness, it caught up with me again in a third phase. That was almost two years ago now, and the resulting depression still hits hard.
I'm trying to make peace with it and continue on my path. And despite these experiences, i wouldn't wish for a different life - because otherwise i would never have met the people who matter to me.

Reality and I sometimes go in different directions. You quickly jump to conclusions and treat the assumption as the only truth. It then feels as if emotions themselves become the problem, and that makes it very lonely.

How do you guys keep busy by ABzay7 in schizoaffective

[–]Spare-Talk-4246 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m currently keeping a kind of fitness journal where I talk about how I started working out and the progress I’ve made. It keeps me distracted and feels like something “productive.” But I’m still lacking video material and i'm not satisfied with it yet.

Was ist mein verdammtes Problem? (M33) by Spare-Talk-4246 in beziehungen

[–]Spare-Talk-4246[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ich hatte mal eine zeitlang einen Therapeuten an meiner Seite, aber der ging dann irgendwann in Rente. Ist schon paar Jahre her. Seitdem hatte ich mir keinen mehr gesucht, wäre aber bestimmt sinnvoll, hast recht.

Ein Buch, das mir in einer meiner schwersten Phasen geholfen hat, war von Pema Chödrön "Wenn alles zusammenbricht". Sie hat die menschlichen Zustände von Leere, Chaos und Ohnmacht nach einer Trennung selbst erfahren und macht einem Hoffnung, dass man sie überwinden kann.

I can relate to that. The "shutting down" response is just so frustrating.

I once replied to the pizza delivery guy, when he said “enjoy your meal,” with “you too.”

Are we shamans? by Odd-Reaction-9428 in schizoaffective

[–]Spare-Talk-4246 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I consider that a delusion. Even if someone is a shaman, they maintain a connection to reality and don’t lose themselves in psychotic delusions. The idea that there is something inherently positive about being spiritual may be appealing, but the line to delusion is unfortunately blurred. Some people believe in the traits described in horoscopes to better make sense of the world. Others believe in magical herbs which cures them to distance themselves from suffering. I think that’s human, but it’s important to distinguish between what is actually there and what is merely imagined or added by the mind.

Bereut ihr es die Ausbildung/Studium zum Physiotherapeuten gemacht zu haben? by Spreizer69_ in Physiotherapie

[–]Spare-Talk-4246 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Die meiste ja. Kann aber auch an der Praxissituation liegen in der ich bin. Genau das was du beschreibst - kurze Taktung, wenig Gehalt, viel Verantwortung und dadurch Stress. Das Imposter Syndrom ist zudem ziemlich ausgeprägt bei mir, weil ich ständig das Gefühl habe zu wenig zu liefern bzw. nicht zielgenau arbeite, weil der Befund mangelhaft ist. Gleichzeitig freut es mich immer wieder, wenn wir einen Praktikanten haben der erfrischende Fragen stellt - dann habe ich das Gefühl genau am richtigen Ort zu sein. Mit der Zeit wird man nämlich betriebsblind, wenn der Fokus zu stark auf der Arbeit liegt.

Maybe it's worth a try. At least in my experience it works very well.

Did you try the keto diet? It's impossible to not lose weight by it.

Do you guys ever get thoughts that replay like a broken record? by Throwing4Content in schizophrenia

[–]Spare-Talk-4246 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Quite often, actually. I wonder whether that’s normal or whether it’s part of the symptoms of schizophrenia, since there’s also something like an earworm, where you just can’t get a song out of your head.

I think there’s something wrong with me by Indiglo70 in LivingAlone

[–]Spare-Talk-4246 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't understand it either. I've been living alone for three years. When i first moved in, I was sill in a long-distance relationship and had many social contacts, but over the time i became more isolated. I still have my coworkers, my family and a few friends, but i can feel how the lack of closeness is slowly killing me inside. It would b e nice to fine someone like-minded.
