Yes also I think skewed by smoking which a lot of people with sz turn to substance abuse. Tons of us smoke statistically.

100% of us smoke when set on fire. My advice is to be careful around open flame.

I have been expecting that I have about 10 years left for about a year. I guess that leaves me with 9.

If something doesnt change with my blood sugars, it will probably be less.

Just being real.

God damn this post. If I want to know mortality, I’ll watch and read the news. Every cigarette that sears my lungs, I lose 11 minutes. Im losing more than I’m actually living for ■■■■’s sake. That’s it, I’m hitting the open road. I’m awol as of 11:42 pm pst

No, but I’ve considered the fact that the median lifespan of a schizoaffective woman is 64 and I am now 64.

When my time is up that is okay with me. I would rather not suffer anymore than I have with sza and alcoholism until then or with some other horrible disease God forbid.

Guess I made my peace with death itself a long time ago.

I really don’t want to be 90 years old sitting in a nursing home getting food in my nasal passages every time I eat.

Considering that I was blessed to work in a funeral home and a nursing home I understand full well what dying with dignity truly means.

I’m 65, so I got the median age beat. There are few things I want to stick around for, so I’ll probably be here a while longer.
