Schizoaffective Disorder Online Support Group

I have felt so empty for so long and I am tired of it. I don't know if decline in emotion is part of being schizoaffective or if it's my meds. I take Seroquel and Zoloft. This is really the least medicated I have been in years...I thought some emotion would come back once they cut the doses back. But there is just apathy, emptiness...

There is a lot going on this month and I just have anxiety about having to deal with stuff. I get annoyed when I have to do something I don't want to, and I feel like a little kid who throws a tantrum when they don't get their way. This isn't me...I want to be me again!

Unfortunately, I can say that emptiness comes with schizoaffective, before I started my meds I felt very empty. I had no emotions, except for crying for no good reason. I can also say, that once I started my meds, I also felt empty inside, so I don't know if it is the meds or the disorder that is the biggest culprit of the lack of emotions.

I hope this helps in anyway.

i would have to say yes it is i have a hard time feeling anything .ty

Yeah, I guess I can't say I'm surprised I'm not the only one. I know it could be worse though - it's better than feeling terrible all the time. It is a bit frustrating though. I guess we just have to make the best of what we have.

I can relate with feeling empty as well. But lately I've been dealing with sadness but not depression, just thinking about the events that occurred during my episodes, reckless behavior, etc.
