Schizoaffective Disorder Online Support Group

Hi everyone, I just joined I was like some of y'all miss diagnosed and miss medicated which that has caused me years of problems! I was diagnosed 11 months ago and feel like I am on the right road it's just a painful and funny road! I hope I can get a chance to make friends with y'all and learn and help anyway I can. Question does anyone else have a problem remembering how to spell schizoaffective , I sure do!

hey im belladonna welcome to our support group! i ve been living with schizo affective disorder for about two years but i just joined a couple days ago so im a little new here too. and dont get me started about spelling the disorder i always end up typing it into google and copying the "did you mean" part and copying and pasteing it into what ever i need it for lol

Lol! Thank you for the warm welcome, hope you have a good weekend!

I am new to this forum as well. I was recently diagnosed with schizoaffective instead of plain bipolar disorder. At least now I can explain the voices and visual hallucinations. I've been hearing voices and seeing things since I was a kid, but my parents thought I was just a weird kid. Now everyone thinks I am a crazy person. Sometimes I think that I would be better off permanently being admitted into a psychiatric center or hospital. At least I would be around people like myself.

I feel your pain I'm very lonely myself, I've been like this since I was 6 and just was missed diagnosed, just don't give up better things will come we just have to try harder than others! Damn our luck!

I appreciate your kind words and understanding. It's nice to talk with people who I can relate to here at MDJ.

i had the same experiance in high school, but i used it to my advantage i spread the rumor tht if anyone made me mad or made fun of me, i would fuck them up- hospital syle! lol but ive found tht it doesnt work in the adult world, it was them that i realized if my "friends" were making fun of me they werent really my friends. now im not a psyciatrist but it seems like you need some new friends. but before you go dropping them like flys in a pesticide factory, try explaining it to them. send them videos and print out articles about your illness.
