I am the token schizophrenic psychology student. I love to rant psychology. Currently working in psychotherapy research. Avid weightlifter. Bisexual atheist. Rather promiscuous. 21 year old male. Smoker. Apparently I have to chew gum in order to have sex? I taste like an ashtray? I probably do taste like an ashtray with chewed up gum in it.

I’m from Oklahoma. I too have substance abuse issues, and I’m diagnosed schizoaffective right now. I have a philosophical turn of mind. I follow the ancient Greek skeptic philosophy - “Nothing is certain. It’s not even certain that nothing is certain.” You’d probably drink too if you thought like that.

hi how long have you lived with it and how did you find new ways to cope with it are you taking
meds and is it helping to stop them ?
Welcome @ang23.
I’m 37, Swedish. Married, Mom to two kids, one is teenager. I got ill about 5 years ago or so. It’s hard to know when it all started. Spent 6 months in hospital. In 2010-2011.
I have hade substance abuse, morphine, and alcohol abuse. I quit them in 2010.
I’ve had it for three years and I see a therapist, take meds and have a pretty solid lifestyle that is very grounded in reality. The lifting weights is a huge deal, it makes me live a certain lifestyle. I socially function but I come across as different, I hardly blink and look people right in the eye. The meds are a treatment, not a cure, always remember that. I have some ■■■■■■up issues though, I am a ■■■■■■up person.
It’s 430am and I just got back from a high school reunion house party, I might be a little off right now.

Hi, I’m from Romania and have been struggling to get a real diagnose for 9 years until last year I finally got one, which is SZ. I am off of the major symptoms now, but still taking meds to avoid psychosys, which is my strongest enemy in this illness. I’ve been on this forum for a while now and I always find good info and support here, I hope you will find it too.
If you’ve been recently diagnosed you will need all the support you can get. This forum is a good start, keep your friends and family close and listen carefully to what people who care about you tell you about your behaviour, that is my advice, if you need one. As my pdoc said, it’s important to keep in mind that it’s going to be hard for you to cope with all of this, but you should value what you feel are your stronger points (for me, it’s being a good friend) and start from there the rehabilitation process.
There is a silver lining to this cloud, and for me that is having learned the value of true frendship and having gotten a better outside view of myself. Also the chance to re-model my personality at an adult age.
I have so much to tell you, but I will stop here. Welcome to the forum, and enjoy!
Love,
Zupa
thought i would say hi.
take care
