Today, I looked up Schizoaffective Disorder, on Google, and when I read about it, I cried.  It seems that it includes Schizophrenia type symptoms, like hallucinations, delusions, disorganized thoughts, etc., and mood disorder symptoms like depression and mania.  It feels like a prison of sorts.  It feels like a kind of Hell at times.  But I can say, that I appreciate the “normal” days.  They feel like Heaven.

    Chrissy, this is also my diagnosis and I feel your pain. It's scary at times but the regular days are so rewarding.

    Stephanie, thank you for sharing that with me, I don't feel so alone, now. You're right, it is scary at times but the regular days are such a gift.

I’m Christine

My name is Christine and I am almost 45 years old. This is my very first blog. I am writing because I feel like I am living in a closet. But I am not gay, I am mentally ill, I have Schizoaffective Disorder. I also have PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder). Not many people know this about me. I have been fearful of “coming out”, because, frankly, the human population has not always been kind to people with mental illness. But isn’t it time that we come to accept all of our bothers & sisters, regardless of their differences?
