How many people have a diagnosis of more than just schizophrenia? Like added depression or anxiety? Why do we get so lucky?

I have sza bipolar as well as dissociative identity disorder that’s been diagnosed since the early 1990s. Stems from early sexual abuse, so I also have PTSD.

Sza bipolar type and PTSD
Sza bipolar, cptsd, anxiety, adhd but they can’t treat that because the meds would affect my sza.
I took meds for anxiety before psychosis, but I no longer take them. Don’t think I’m officially diagnosed with it anymore. Never see it on pdoc papers after I visit.

Yes, I have a few things on top of my SZ. Yes, I’m also lucky. I have two friends who are terminally ill right now. I’ll likely be alive for next Xmas. They won’t. Not sure the one will make this Xmas.
Attitude of gratitude.

Is there a sneer behind that comment?
I had a meeting with a psy and after really questioning me about hearing voices. Which i dont. He determined that im schizoaffective.
I have undiagnosed DID and self diagnosed misophonia, witch has improved, plus a definite addiction to feel good drugs that are illegal. I’m not an alcoholic because it affects me so poorly.
