Today is good but hard all at the same time new information about what I've been diagnosed with so far, we will however soon understand what exactly this ...
don't expect understanding and compassion from society. There'll be certain
kinds of people who will give that to you, but society, in general, is
judgmental, not only towards people with mental disability. I'm
schizoaffective and I try to work as steady and as hard as I can but all
people see and notice are my negative schizo symptoms like aloofness, flat
emotions. I can relate to people seeing you as lazy because of the negative
schizo symptoms. I'd often hear comments like "he just doesn't care". I
know then they are referring to times when my schizo symptoms are in
effect, but I also know I'm not like that all the time. I work steadily as
I can but I also know that I'll always be characterized as that weird,
creepy, loner guy.
Have you tries invega? That maed has worked great for me and I have what
you have. I am also on Clonopin, Seroquel, and Lamitical, and something
for blood pressure fort the gittery seizure feeling. I was just diaonosed
in the last 2 months, I lived with it for 5 years before getting to a
mental hospital and being watched carefully. You an I sound alike in alot
of ways and I hope you get even better ... People doont understand and they
think its all in your head, its not that easy, its a brain chemical issue
and a severe one.
I have Bipolar Type 1, and struggle daily w/ severe mood swings...I deal
w/a lot of rage and unfortunately my family becomes the victimes of that.
I'm never physical,I just screak and yell excessively and say horribely
cruel things that I don't mean and even in "the moment" I know I shouldn't
be saying them. I can't bring myself to go back to see another therapist,I
just don't deal with talking to any of them well. Mental illness is a part
of my family though,my grandmother is a paranoid schizop
To Brad and his wife... I feel my fiance and I are just at the beginning of
the journey you started so many years ago. he was just recently diagnosed
with SCHIZOAFFECTIVE BIPOLAR DISORDER. I feel his meds aren't correct for
him (As most people who are just frustrated with chng meds) and while i
don't want to lay his situation out on forums I need to speak to someone
soon pls if you could email me @ [email protected] or Katie
Woolwine in Mount Airy on facebook. pls hlp. I feel so alone
His disorder affects him --the amount of meds he takes affects him even
more. He has added almost 80 lbs--his social life has gone down the drain
because of the weight gain. He sounds like he is taking about a dozen meds.
ow can any doctor hope to help him with so many meds in his bloodstream. It
would be hard to say which are effective or which give side effects. The
medical community better clean up their act and prescribe responsibly.
Hearing this mans story is unbelievable.
wow watching your video u explained me to a tee i have people that know
about me but your the only one i know who is just like me . except i get
bad anxiety i think its due to the weight gain from the meds . thank you
for taking out the time for you and your wife to make this video im going
to have my girlfriend watch it so she sees it not just me but others are
like me too . i would love if ya made more videos or ya guys responded. you
have an awesome family :)
Some quack diagnosed my with paranoid schizophrenia, he freaked out and
rushed the diagnosis because Jared Loughner just killed a bunch of people
and I was reading Atlas shrugged at the time. Then a year later I went
totally psychotic I started obsessing about being God, Star Trek and
Quentin Tarantino, I envisioned the end of the universe and got scared
called the cops and they took me to the hospital, I had no idea what was
going on.
Brad I have seen you overcome so many things in these years that we have
known each other you are very strong man especially your voice is now being
heard to help other people not to judge someone who has disorders or to
help somebody that has the disorders their self I am so grateful to have
you and your family in my life to call you all my friends and family and I
always wish the best for you all
0.5 mg of Resperidone almost KILLED ME! I can't take that shit. I can't
take any of the psychiatric medications. I am managing via one on one
therapy, I am seeking for group therapy, and I use alternate methods of
therapy such as walking, riding my bike, working out, listening to music
and vlogging. Thanks again for this video.
your not alone. My son has the same thing. He gets manic , Depressed,
spends money when he doesn't have it. My son is on disability and SSI too.
He wants to get a partime job. My son had an Angry problem.
thanks for speaking from skitzoaffective bi polar,understanding about
family,get a check here too,u well deserve it,gonna ask doctor about
limicital never been on that tried alot thanks for video god bless
Amazingly beautiful. This touched me in ways that I cannot yet describe. I
am Miguel and I live with Schizoaffective Disorder Bi Polar Type II. Thank
you for this honest and moving video.
I like the video but you shouldn't blame your disorder on your decisions.
seems kind of odd to me. check out my vids if you ever get the chance :D I
can't hold down jobs either lolz
Sometimes, when you have PTSD, it's hard for doctors to distinguish between
that and bipolar disorder. A lot of doctors/psychologists at least have
told me this.
+Kathryn Woolwine How are you and your husband doing now? I am also more
than happy to talk to you! I have Schizoaffective Disorder Bipolar Type as
well.
sorry it took so long to respond I forgot my password for some reason...I
watch a lot of sci-fi and been watching cartoons a lot lately because my 2
year old loves them...lol...yeah the memory thing is bad because of the
medication ...so I try to do chess to improve it...I know that if I focus
my mind on something theres pretty much no stopping me....I don't know what
it is maybe its part of the bipolar but I get really hyper all of a sudden
when im sitting down and clinch my fist together and kinda well I don't
know how to describe it ....its like being hit with energy all at one time
and if I don't relieve it I feel like hitting someone or throwing something
at the wall...
My memory is the worst because of my illness. Watching this video made me feel like i am not alone. I am really manic right now, i feel like i feel super great but i know that the depression will come, i already am depressed all the time, but anyways i love this video and i hope you are feeling somewhat better.
