    • About Me

      I am 25 years old. I have pretty much isolated myself from society. I don't work and I collect disability. My doctors have diagnosed me as schizoaffective. I have hope of getting better, but still wonder if life is worth living. I have suicidal thoughts every day. I've been on so many drugs and I don't know if they are helping. I feel like the only thing that is helping is time. I have been in mental hospitals four times. I don't know what to do next.

    • Close Schizophrenia

      I have been dealing with mental illness for six years now. I have been on all sorts of meds. been to the hospital a few times. My normal day is usually spent by myself watching tv and being on the computer. I know I am getting better but wonder how long this is going to go on for.

      Treatments

      Abilify Not Working
      I was on a small dosage of this a few years ago. I didn't notice anything helpful from it.
      Geodon Considering
      I am on this right now and when I go to restaurants I still here people talking about me and reading my mind. I feel like if I went off my medicines I would be fine but I am afraid.
      Invega Not Working
      I was on this for a very short time. It didn't help
      Music Working / Worked
      I am addicted to music right now.

      Zyprexa Not Working
      didn't help.
      Time Working / Worked
      I feel like time has helped me more than anything. When this first started I could not answer the phone. I would hide from people like my parents friends. I am afraid to go off my meds because I am not sure what it would do to me, but I know time has helped me the most.
      Faith Working / Worked
      This is another thing that has helped me. My thinking about this is hard to explain and unusual but I have some theories that will hopefully work.

      Paxil Not Working
      did nothing

      Faith Working / Worked
    • Open Marijuana Addiction & Recovery

      I got caught selling marijuana when I was 19. I used to smoke every day. Now I smoke very rarely because I am schizoaffective and it just makes it worse. But sometimes I get the urge and just want to feel different.

      Treatments

      Cold Turkey Working / Worked
      I am trying to quit smoking again. I haven't had a cigarette in 2 days and I haven't smoked marijuana since a week ago. Today is December 9th 2008.
    • Open Paranoia

      I get paranoid very easily. My paranoia gets high when I go out into public. I feel like people are talking about me. I also get this sometimes when I am watching television or listening to music.

      Treatments

      Geodon Somewhat Helpful
      Im sure if I werent on the geodon I would be worse than I am now but it doesnt totally get rid of the paranoia.
      Faith Working / Worked
