Hello… I am new to the forum and also diagnosed with Schizoaffective Disorder. I am a 38 yo SAHM of a toddler and also on disability. In the past, I worked as a college instructor; but, I am no longer able to work. I have been through numerous hospitalizations and ECT and I am facing the cognitive disorder that goes along with Schizophrenia. I am feeling very isolated… And hope to find connections through this forum. Social interaction is extremely difficult, so hopefully this will be a helpful venue.
Thank you for reading.

Hello, Welcome to this forum. This forum is safe, decent and active. But it’s more focused on schizophrenia and recovery. I have been on this forum for two years. I am a mother of a child, living with my husband. Formerly, I was a college lecturer but now I just stay home doing a bit writing for publishing. Also I am trying to do some industrial designs. Still struggling.

Welcome to the forum!! I’ve been getting ECT for almost three years and it has made such a difference. I’m also schizoaffective or schizophrenic it depends what doctor you ask. In the past I struggled with both depression and psychosis, but for almost five years now it’s been mostly psychosis. You’ll get a lot of support here.

Welcome to our forums. I think you’ll find we’re a friendly and mostly helpful group of people. This forum is very busy so I think you can also get as much social interaction as you want - at least of the internet type.
