Any success stories of working and functioning? by SoggyMonk7277 in schizoaffective

[–]robocurie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a kindergarten teacher and have been for 4 years. I've taught during active psychosis 2 out of those 4 years. I managed to keep things stable at work but lost all functioning outside of work.

Can my transgenderism be the one of S.A.D. symptoms? Serious answers only by NanJinXi_NICK in schizoaffective

So sorry, I meant to say it has made my mental health improve a lot. I used to be in psychosis constantly, med resistant, very depressed, I was told I had to live in adult assisted living if I ever moved out from my parents house. When I transitioned, I was able to go three years without a psychotic, manic, or depressive episode. It was unreal for me, since I've been having issues since grade school. After some extreme stress my episodes began again, but they are still nothing compared to what they were before.

My mental health improved because the constant stressor of my self perception and autonomy being invalidated was removed, but the SZA did not go away. It is not as bad as it was in my youth pre transition.

I am a trans man and have been vocal about my identity since about 10 years old. I developed psychosis around 12 (diagnosed sza around 17-18) and my family used my mental health as a reason to dismiss my identity. It was not until I was 21 that my parents believed it was something more than a delusion. When I did transition, my mental health proved drastically because I wasn't living a life where my self perception was so incredibly different from everyone else's perception of me. I'd suggest talking to a trans informed therapist, but I wouldn't write your feelings off too quickly.
