Schizophrenia

[Aurelia]

Does anyone else have this diagnosis?

I've basically been living in my head for several months because they couldn't find me the right meds for some time. And my head can be a very scary place, especially when hallucinations are present.

However, now I'm on the Abilify injection, which is keeping these things away, and I'm feeling normal again.

Glad to see that you are still with us. I don't have any words of wisdom as I am a classic depressed person; especially without medication. I just wanted to say hello!

I have Schizoaffective disorder.

I have Schizoaffective disorder.

May I ask how you are coping with this?

@Aurelia I am doing pretty well to be honest and have mainly been stable for 5 years. I have had a few mood dips but my psychosis is pretty much at bay. I just struggle with a few other things, like emotional blunting, self care like showering etc.

I'm glad the psychosis symptoms are gone.

I don't have the diagnosis, but I'm sending you hugs and hope you are doing well.
