I honestly want to almost magically come up with such a good research proposal that my Liberal majority government and right down to the panel decides to provide the grant of any brain scientist’s, or doc’s, dreams. Then I’d like to completely destroy its presence in our world. For no one deserves this ■■■■. Sorry if I come off manic at all. I might be never sure though. lol
Like, a girl so young she’s a small child was even BORN with it. You;'d all be up for taking that unfair suffering away right?
Talk to people, thats the only thing the disease stops me from doing. Have a long complicated conversation. Maybe make some friends on the side, my poverty of speech stops me from doing that.
Are you otherwise in good shape, @eduvigis? Can you read books, enjoy music or sports, have sex etc ? Cause I can’t do any of those things. I really need that cure fast

I can do all those things, the only issues I have are concrete thinking which makes it difficult for me to get involved in and learn about new things, and marked poverty of speech which makes it impossible for me to participate in conversation. I also have a few cognitive issues like attention deficit and slow processing speed etc. Curiously enough I don’t have the typical negative symptoms everyone mentions avolition, anhedonia, apathy etc. I don’t even have affective blunting. But when it comes to talking the words just don’t come. My train of thought is constantly derailed and I have no inner monologue (I think in pictures and symbols with the occasional word). I can write perfectly fine but being spontaneous in the moment and contributing to a conversation is impossible for me. I feel like I can’t converse fluently, I can only make a few short comments. My inner world is not represented well in my speech. I think in cognition terms this is called a verbal fluency deficit. Even my young brother age 11 is a better conversationalist than I am.
Dam I’d still have PTSD…

Celebrate so hard that I would probably need the cure again.

Yea that could make for an interesting thread. I definitely know that my partying days didn’t help as far as this disorder is concerned.
I would smoke a lot of weed and make new music every day. I’d look for a job again. I’d blast my electric guitar loud and play all the time.

if they could cure the schizoaffective disorder they could cure the ptsd. I would find a job to help my partner, lose weight and get rid of all my medicines.
Throw all meds in the garbagecan. Go see my son, family and friends as much as possible, love them and enjoy their company fully and intensely like I could before those horrible meds. Walk into nature and enjoy my connection to it like before. Pray and have my spiritual feelings back. Pursue a degree in psychiatry to offer others the same cure. Be so incredibly thankful for the rest of my life that I don’t even know how to express my thanks to the person that invented the cure.

They’ve just got to be able to cure schizoaffective disorder one day. It’s like the rarest form of these types of illnesses. They can’t even put it in its own category it’s so subtle. Personally if they could get rid of the psychotic episodes I would just deal with the depression. I just can’t take not knowing if I’m gonna go nuts again or when I’m gonna go nuts again.

I get it, I too am scared of relapses I nearly relapsed when I ran out of meds then one of my antipsychotics was stolen.

Yea it’s pretty scary. The psychosis is really powerful. Sorry to hear your meds got stolen. They can be pretty expensive and then of course you have to explain to the pharmacy what happened. Not good!

I had to explain to the nurse how my meds were stolen and the best they could do was call Medicaid for me and get the date moved up to when I could get meds. I still had to wait almost two weeks to get them but it was better than waiting for the 3rd of the next month to come
go to college and study nuclear chemistry
Ive given up sugar and changed to a healthy diet I havent had voices in over a year still on a low dose of meds so i think its possible to get better
