i isolated too. thoughts just spin around when you dont have other people to make you sane.
u seem to be doing well from the way you talk on here.

So sorry about that diagnosis manā¦ youāre in my thoughts.
Iām doing pretty well in general. Just a little lack of motivation/emotions/desire to continue my life. I do have my sanity. Itās gonna get better Iām sure. what about you? when did you get back to reality?
i wouldnāt say ive gotten back to reality 
but im a lot closer than when i was waving the CIA goodnight.
Iām positive iāll be happy one day. itāll get better for both of us, i know it.
the motivation thing is also a prob for meā¦ and this illness hasnt helped my schoolwork. my dad expects (or once expected) a lot from meā¦ he went to Yale and his dad worked with Oppenheimer. so id say im a little sad and frustrated about what these meds do to my intellect and motivation.

Oh Iām sure you can get your life back. I know I have. I even went back to university. I hope you can make your parents proud. You seem to have your sanity since you can realize that you were waving the CIA goodbye, lol. Iāve done some crazy stuff also. I even sent love letters to some random strangers on Facebook at that time. that was humiliating. Itās gonna get better.

Schizo-affective disorder for 3 years.
Hahah yeah it does. I thought the nurses during my first hospital visit were gonna be my disciples.
that makes the part where i was talking to books seem reasonable.

What does thought broadcasting mean?
When they change the diagnosis like that do they āeraseā the previous one or do they add on?
You feel like you can hear peopleās thoughts and they can hear yours.
Like peopleās heads are radios.
The previous diagnoses are not āerasedā in that they stay on your notes as historical reminders of past diagnostic decisions about your illness.
Current diagnosis - Bipolar type 1, GAD, OCD, Agoraphobia, Paranoia
Last Diagnosis - Schizoaffective Disorder.
I have had this disorder since I was about 9 years old, so I have been living with this disorder for 43 years.
