Hello.

I Have Been Diagnosed With Schizoaffective Disorder .

By My Last Therapist.

My First Diagnosis Was Schizophrenia. After Some Sessions With My Second Therapist The Affective Cloud Was Attached.

If You Have Thus Disorder Please Share Your Study on How to Build Safe Walls in Order to Remain Within The Castles of Commonsense And Perhaps Even a Bit of Joy Throughout The Calm to Frightening Storms.

If You Look Throughout My Posts in My Posting History it May Help a Bit For What You May or May Not End Up Expecting During Confusion And Understanding to Misunderstandings About Your Surroundings. With Also Added Narration to Stay Peaceful During The Confusion. Especially if You Are New to Thus Disorder. Or “disorder” As I Like to State.

If You Are Unsure on How to Keep on Track For Being Able to Accomplish Your Positive Goals, Try Thus!. Next Sentence Below Thus One Please!.

Creativity Helps Me Personally. Music, Music, Music, And Even More Music. It is The Spark That Keeps Me Moving Forward. So.

FIND YOUR SPARK!. Sorry Not Trying to Yell. Would You Like Some Tea?.

Seriously Though, Being Diagnosed With Thus “illness” (no offense to physical ailments and those who go through other tough battles), Being Diagnosed isn’t a Mark of The Beast in My Biblical Metaphor. It Doesn’t Mean it’s Over. It Jus Means it’s Time to Adjust, Shift, And Start Over.

No Shame in That i Can Assure You. Every Year, As The New Year Rolls in Everyone Begins Again. So Therefore We Are No Different.

You May Be Surprised That During Thus Discovery of Yours, That You Own Special Gifts Held Deep in Your Soul That Will one Day Help Those Who Have Been Through Similar Struggles.

So. Take a Breath. Look Around. Focus on What Matters And Never Give Up On Yourself.

You Have Plenty of Time. So Don’t Rush. Let The Light in. Pour Yourself a Drink. (i love radiohead), And Begin Your Adventure.

And Jus Between You And I, Medications Are Important. So Take Them. And Be Honest With Your Doctor.

My Therapist Helped Me. So. A Therapist May Be Able to Help You. Look Around And Shop.

By The Way,

Be Constructive With Your Blues!.

Nice to Meet You Stranger (!!!).

So.

Life. Space. Thought. Wall. Goal. Work. Victory. And a Tunnel.

Life is Breath And a Heartbeat. With Blood, Sweat, And Tears. In a Garden of Enlightenment. Drinking in a Pool of Swirling Colours.

Our Cups Overflow.

Our Cups Are Sipped.

Our Cups Are Dipped.

As The Trees Laugh And Scream at The Birds in Flight Sleeping in Their Dreams.

Life is Life. Some Say it is What it is. What is it in Actual Reality?.

Never Ending. Once Brought in Thus Universe. Be it in Heart. Be it in Soul. Be it in Memory. Be it in Symbols. Be it in Words. Be it in Ice. Be it in Fire.

It Never Ends.

It Rains on The Just.

It Rains on The Unjust.

And The Grass Keeps Returning.

Until it is Buried By Cement. Then The Grass Outside of That Circle Reminds Us of The Green That Faded.

Some Say, Faded Away.

So. Where Did it Go?.

And That is The Puzzle Known as Life.

Sparks in The Constellations. Sparks in The Dreams. Sparks in The Radio And in The T.V.

Sparks in Love, And All of Our Translucent Memories.

Speak Now or Forever Hold Your Peace.

Not a Command.

And Not a Warning.

From Our Fingertips to Our Feet.

We All, In The End, Will Believe.

The Ocean Brings Us Back to The Soil.

Where We All Will one Day Meet.

There’s Plenty of Time in Life For The Next Step is Endless,

So Be, Who You Want to Be,

C.A.R.E.F.U.L.L.Y

So. With That in Mind, There is Always Thus…,

Trust.

Wants.

&

Needs.

Ask Yourself, What is it You Want.

Ask Yourself, What is it You Need.

Now Grab a Notebook.

(if you don’t own a notebook buy a notebook) . . .

I’ll Wait…,

O.k.

Write Out All You Want And All You Need.

If You Find Yourself Looking Over Your Shoulder or Not Being Completely Honest With All That is On Your Mind, Your Heart May Not Be in The Right Place.

Which Means, Your Instincts, Intuition, Commonsense, & Goals May Need to Change…,

To Sharpen Your Inner Being Tools Can Be a Real Easy Problem to Master…,

Yuu May Being Wondering, [HOW DO I DO THAT MASTER],

Well!, I Have The Answer!..,

Nature, Karmic Wishes With Charity, And Helping Yourself, Slowly But Surely…,

Before I Go Any Further, I Would Like to Invite Other Forum Posters With Original And Helpful Ideas on How Anyone Could Sharpen Their Tools on How to Be Helpful For Themselves And Others…,

With The Foundation I Have Already Mentioned, Or Anything Else Valuable (!!!).,

So!,

Please Join in And Share Your Magic Guys And or Gals (!!!)… . … :stuck_out_tongue:

Hmm.

No One is Interested in Helping With Those Who Could Use a Rock Solid Iron Casted Foundation of Truth And Beauty in Dire Need. (dire straits has some good songs by the way).

O.k.

To Write Out Your Wants And Needs, Honestly, Truthfully, And Without Worry of Judgement.

There is Always Thus…,

One Must Erase What is Useless. What Holds No Reason or Purpose.

Thus Does Not Mean Erase Fun Computer Games to Cure Boredom Gracefully.

But Try Not Get too Immersed into Something That May Take up Time Where You Could Be Creating Potions of Imagination Instead.

Which is Not a Pathe to Shame in The Excuse of Self Discovery. That is Endlessly Meaningless Without Reason Or Sanity.

Remember, The Focus on Who You Are And Who You May Become During Difficult Times, Isn’t Meant to Be Wasted in Metaphoric Nude Beaches.

As Fun As That May Sound.

It’s Skin And Bones. Decay. And Filth.

Which Does Not Mean It’s The End of The Universe if You Have Been in Those Ruins.

It Jus Means Put Your Focus Into Something More Meaningful.

Which Comes Back to The Rest of The Forum Posters Here Sharing Their Wants And Needs Openly in Many Different Forms. As You May Be Able to See Pondering Around.

So.

With All That Said, I Would Once Again Like to invite Other Posters Who Have Some Wise Knowledge on The Subject of Mental “illness” or Illness And Share Accordingly…,

Thank You in Advance. :thinking:

The golden rule of schizophrenia is to take your medication if you want to get and stay better

Excellent Suggestion.

Could You Please Elaborate On The Positive And Negative Effects On Taking And Not Taking Medications Prescribed By Doctors We Choose to See… . …

8

Sure positive- relapse prevention both in terms of frequency and severity. Better prognosis.

Negatives: Nasty side effects, physical deterioration such as increased risk of diabetes and heart disease.

Mind you the stress of a relapse unmedicated can also cause diabetes or heart problems

I Appreciate The Quick Response But!..,

Could You Explain on a More Personal Level of Experiences With Both Negative And Positives…,

And Within a Sphere of Friendly Simplicity… . …

10

Positives: No relapse, high functioning job and a owned property.

Negatives: Low libido, zero anxiety to the point its not normal

Im on risperidone 3mg and you?

11

Again Thank You Sir For The Quick Response!,

What is a Relapse to You?.

What is Anxiety to You?.

(EDIT)

I Am On Invega, But I Find That The Talk of Medications is Almost Unimportant For The Unique Difference We All Own Within Our Own Bubbles of Existence. No Offense… . …

12

A relapse is a return of positive symptoms such as auditory or visual hallucinations or delusions.

I cant say regarding anxiety as its been a long time, what I remember was that it could be motivating such as moving you in the opposite direction of anxiety or doing something to avoid the thing your anxious about. It could also prevent sleep and be semi debilitating. Thats all I can remember of anxiety currently dont have any anxiety not even a healthy amount

13

Hmm. I Find Thus Statement to Be Very Interesting.

A Healthy Amount of Anxiety.

Like Commonsense (???).

14

cheesy article but it kinda covers some aspects of healthy anxiety https://www.verywellmind.com/benefits-of-anxiety-2584134

15

Changing meds to abilify most likely or a mix of abilify and risperidone, I think my anxiety will be a bit higher on abilify

16

I Apologize But I Usually Don’t Click on Links…,

I Am More Interested in Your Personal Take on Anxiety in And of itself Being a Form of Commonsense… . …

17

I think anxiety is a motivator, dont think its common sense, Im very motivated but thats more because I become obsessive with goal setting and try to beat the goals I set, I dont have any anxiety motivating me though or stress for that matter, I dont lose any sleep about things and dont get reminded to do something because of anxiety.

18

That is Interesting…,

I Find When I Get Anxious i Withdraw…,

Almost Like My Energy Warning Me About Something My Awareness Has Missed…,

Thoughts (???).

19

Only withdraw when its anxiety caused by psychosis. Otherwise very outgoing. I think anxiety serves a protective function like your mentioning in that in the right doses it raises to our awareness things that are important that we can do something about to avoid harm

20

Strange to Think One Would Feel Shame For Feeling Anxious…,

Wouldn’t You Agree (???).
