In all honesty, just last week, I felt, as if my world was caving in.
Three weeks ago, I was having auditory hallucinations, I was hearing my name being called repeatedly, and I was hearing screaming. This started while my husband was away, in China, on a business trip. I also felt paranoid, afraid that I would be murdered by strangers breaking into my house.
Naturally, I was frightened, but felt too ashamed to tell anyone else. People, look at you funny, when you tell them that you’re hearing voices. I assumed, that it would disappear, on its own, in time. Well, I assumed wrong. I ended up, eventually,crying for days. I had to take a leave from work. I ended up, taking a week off.
It was a wise decision, however, to take a week, to relax, attend therapy sessions, and support groups.
At this point, I feel really good. And once again, I am thankful to all those that helped me, and supported me.
Hello,
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?
