News of Schizoaffective Disorder

Hi I am wondering if I got misdiagnosed because the dr I had was a teledoctor and I am not sure he understood me.

OK I dont have a manic episode very often but when I do its a doozy. I hallucinate all kinds of stuff (mostly religious stuff) audio and visual and have bipolar delusions and it usually gets bad enough that I have to be hospitalized. I was diagnosed as bipolar type one ...

I'm hearing realistic voices. They are very crude and illegal sounding. They claim to be from a different realm and act like celebs. Medications have not helped.

Am I allowed to post delusional beliefs I had? It's dark, twisted and it's also Rated X and R

Hi, I just wanted to see if anyone relates. Recently I've had a lot of dreams in which something happens and I don't know If they were real experiences when I wake up.

Like, I've recently dreamed I was arrested when I was twelve, and had to ask my mother If that had really happened when I woke up (It didn't). My aunt, who has dementia, experiences this a lot, but my psychiatrist says this ...

Hello I'm newly diagnosed schizoaffective bipolar type. I have ptsd and anxiety as well. I'm on meds but still working on the right combo. Unfortunately no sleep meds seem to work (minipress, trazodone, temazepam, lunesta). It often has the opposite effect leaving me anxious, agitated, and unable to sleep. I've told my provider and I'm waiting on her response.

Last night was my second night of 1mg lunesta and when I realized I wouldn't be ...

hello, i have started cycling towards a manic state very recently, and with that i have been having delusions that my thoughts are affecting the world around me somehow, and that somehow me thinking about a person or event will cause it to happen or cause them to think about me or talk about me. i have also started thinking about my abuser a lot recently as with a lot of recent stress with family ...

Hi, I'm new to the forum and just coming to accept a schizoaffective diagnosis after years of bouncing between other diagnoses. I'll make this quick.

Coming from a pretty emotionally suppressive household, I never told anyone about the thoughts in my head or the voices I heard. I was always an anxious child, even as a 4 year old, and I had quite an "imagination". I was playful with toys because their voices were real, ...

This will be a long read so I apologize in advance but I really need other people's opinions.

In 2016 I graduated high school a semester early, got into a competitive practical nursing program and started working full-time at a hotel as a front desk clerk. I seemed to have a lot going for me but I was self injuring every day, having nightmares (about work and about my abusive mother/childhood) every night, having multiple ...

Hi everyone. I’m having some issues lately. I’ve been diagnosed with SZA disorder since 3 yrs now. Everything has been going in the right direction with all the meds and support I’m getting, until recently. Two weeks ago I stopped sleeping completely. Lots of energy and thoughts about cleaning and rearranging the house during the night! During the day my energy levels are minimal but when the dark comes, here’s where it all starts. No ...

Hi all! I haven't posted here before. My last diagnoses was Schizoaffective Bipolar Type, but I'm not sure if it's that or something else, and figured I should just post this here.

Recently I've had frequent paranoid thoughts about people watching me, entities being all around me, an entity trying to harm me I warded off with a certain song, and other strange thoughts like being in a children's TV show. Like everything is a ...
