I am happy to report that my muscle soreness has gone away, since eliminating my Lipitor, and lowering my Abilify. What a relief that is. I was able to go to work on Monday, and worked a six hour day with ease. Which pleased me tremendously. When I feel well, I love my job, even though it’s a low skill supermarket job. But on the days I feel ill, I hate my job with a passion, mainly because I can’t cope with being there.
My emotional state is just OK, not great. A few months ago, I felt a lot of joy, so much that it surprised me. Now, I don’t feel it so much, it has flown away. I can’t say that I’m really living, even though I have been active, but I am simply existing.
At least that’s how my soul feels.
Having Schizoaffective Disorder and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, are a real curse. I can’t escape the Hell sometimes. But God-willing, I can use my life experiences to help other people. That is my goal in life.

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?
