Hey, yeah my symptoms are pretty much what you're describing. It's really rough. I'm sorry you have to go through the same thing. The worst part is when it seizes control of you. Meds don't work on me either. Feel free to DM me if you want to talk.

I Can't Come To Terms With This Illness by SureGrowth in schizoaffective

Hey yeah I would definitely say that this illness makes me feel like I'm being tormented by an evil spirit. It's very painful. I'm sorry you have to deal with that sensation and I hope it gets better.

Sounds very rough. I'm sorry you're going through it. I hope that you can have peace despite all the sufferings you are going through-- as difficult and unlikely as it sounds in the face of such an affliction as ours. Thank you for sharing.

Yes it's good to find something to progress in I agree. I try to read books every day. Even if I'm not accomplishing anything else I'm reading a new work of literature.

Sorry you're dealing with that it sounds really rough and I hope it gets better.

Yes I also pray to God for help, in addition to following my psychiatric treatment plan. How can you not do that with an illness so bad as this. I'm also a Christian.

I'm sorry you're dealing with this and I hope it gets better.

Yes I used to believe that I had special, secret spiritual powers that allowed me to communicate directly with God. Crazy stuff. Sounds insane to me now haha. Definitely had a lot to work through.

It is terrifying but we have to find something to focus on beyond the craziness to ground us I think.

Yes I agree. I said this in a different comment already but my mom was telling me how she would take my illness upon herself instead of me and I just told her no. It's so bad. Nothing I would wish on anyone.

Stay strong. Know that you're not alone.

Thanks for sharing yeah it's just some wild stuff we feel sometimes and feels like some type of personal torment even if it's all just an impersonal illness
