Hi. Let me just give you a brief look at the situation. I’ve been to the hospital like two or three times and I’ve been diagnosed with a lot of things. My doctor said that he didn’t know enough about my condition and I only see him once every two weeks so he just put me down as having schizoaffective disorder. Schizoaffective disorder is schizophrenia and a mood disorder. But should I not be here because I have problems other than schizophrenia? He also diagnosed me with anxiety and autism spectrum disorder even though he thinks that I have Asperger’s Syndrome. I’m more paranoid about everything than not. Why do so many doctors agree that Schizoaffective disorder is Schizophrenia but why do so many disagree. It obviously is Schizophrenia… just ask the patients… They’re the ones who know what they have to deal with. Sure, you can have a mood disorder with Schizophrenia but I don’t really see the need to group the two together. I would have just made them seperate. I used to hear voices but I’m on meds now. I’ve been switching meds for a long time… it’s been a struggle to say the least. Half the time I think that I’m just faking Schizophrenia. I say this because I get paranoid about almost everything. I constantly argue with my parents because I don’t believe most of what they say. But maybe they’re just people full of ■■■■■■■■, that’s what I usually think. I usually lack a lot of emotions. I don’t feel like I really care about my family and I really want them to die sometimes. But I usually just rot in an apathetic existence. I go to a private school but I seem to have no motivation. I do like to do some things though, like listen to music and play Fallout and the STALKER series. Anyways, should I get off this site because I have other problems?
Welcome!
I don’t speak for other members, but I think you should stay on this site.
It is not a problem to go to other sites for other topics of discussion.
thought i would say hi.
take care
Hey boyo, stay for some time, come on, take that coat off and feel welcome! 
this site is good to help focus on recovering and coping on a broad spectrum of mental illness, so i think it could still help you
welcome and stay for awhile…it will not hurt anything…you might be surprized at how much you enjoy it…
No, stay on… many people here have other problems besides SZ, and some don’t even have anything but just know someone who does…so there are all kinds of people here…
I think you will find people with schizoaffective bipolar, PTSD, depression, anxiety, OCD, etc, with a bunch of other more personal issues that vary with each individual…so it’s pretty open as far as that goes.
Welcome to the forum @FantasticFox. Yes you should be here
A Support and Discussion area for people who have been diagnosed with schizophrenia, or who think they might have schizophrenia (or who have a closely related disorder or symptoms, or who suffer from hearing voices).
This forum is not just for people diagnosed with schizophrenia but also for other types of disorders with the same types of symptoms.
Welcome. You will fit right in. Diagnoses change. As do we. My pdoc has talked little about bipolar disorder, but I never get manic. I got schizophreniform in 2010. I’m on Abilify and a lot of sleeping pills. I still hear voices.
