I Have Schizoaffective Disorder

@SW-User I would know what it is, it's told me that I sold my soul, it's evil, and I am not, it is not me, and yes I am on the strongest medications out there such as clozapine and invega

@saintsong then they need to be readjusted, because they're not workingnif you're having auditory hallucinations or hearing voices.

@SW-User your confidence is disturbing...No amount of medications alone can cure it. Since you speak with such authority, let me ask you, what's causing the imbalance!?

@Unlearn you may not like what I have to say, but obviously the meds she's on, aren't helping her. Hopefully, she finds a better doctor that will listen to her, and help her.

@SW-User when the exact cause is unknown and the scientific world is taking guesses at it... it's logical to not be so condescending to others whom one doesn't understand. It's good to question things and not be a blind believer...but don't believe everything that science says either. Science is fast becoming the new religion.

@Unlearn don't believe everything religion says either, especially if it hinders you from having a good life with your family.

@SW-User it's not about liking or disliking...I just happen to know things that many don't. Makes me sound arrogant maybe...but I can't help it.

@SW-User I question everyone and everything...let's not worry on that. I don't believe in religions personally.

@Unlearn I have no ill will towards you, or anyone else here. My heart goes out to this young lady, because her doctor won't listen to her, and he's hurting her, by not doing it!

@Unlearn you should question everything within reason imo.

@SW-User If I've learned anything from my Christian religion is that I would burn with desire to fight to stand by my family's side until the angels sing and I carried my cross and repented and the everyone in the lands were healed. That is the path I want to take, again...for them. come what may come what might.

@SW-User I know...what you're saying is coming from a good place but one needs to open to things they currently don't understand. It is frustrating for the person suffering from it.

@saintsong you are a beautiful soul. Your doctor needs to listen to you. Find one who will. I truly hope you find peace. @Unlearn I know this. I have depression, and it's horrible. My heart goes out to those who suffer. But religion should help, not hurt.

@SW-User best help is self help is all I can say...for all.

@SW-User Thank you for your kind words, Actually it was Christ who saved my soul after I played with tarot cards when I sold my soul...Only after did I become a Christian who was already schizophrenic and bipolar...Jesus suffered just like me to show me the way to heaven, He doesn't take away all of the trials of life but walks by my side showing me the way through them, and He is beautiful and loving and miraculous, I will remain faithful to Him whom I love the most.....I really do believe in Him and he has been nothing but helpful in my times of need...It was the tarot cards that cursed me and it was Jesus who redeemed me, and gave me His LIFE, so that I could live life more abundantly most of the demons have been silenced except for this last one...It's a doozy I'm perplexed by it....I want to cast it out some way some how and deep down inside I believe that one day it too will be gone.

@saintsong keep praying and believing. He will give you strength.

@SW-User Thanks so much...God bless.

@saintsong thank you

@SW-User Mam she is not trusting religion ,she is trusting God
and sometimes we are tested ,but its never more than we can bear ,and when its over ,our faith is increased ,,
I spent 20 yrs being told by shrinks and doctors my pain was in my head because an xray said all was normal ,,,it didn't even show where part of my spine was removed in 1990 so they said I misunderstood that operation too .
But when finally a doctor going to shut me up once and for all ordered a full body MRI like I have been asking for ,,
12 bad discs ,both knees bone to bone ,spurs in both shoulders and an impingement in the right and the lower lobe of my left lung collapsed

Guess all the years of shrinks try to say I just wanted Narcotics was wrong
I could get better drugs from friends and family ,,,I was seeking help
My surgeon said I would need a revision of my surgery every 3 yrs
but the VA only heard pain and something for pain and that was it

Now they say they wish they had caught this sooner and its a shame I was made to suffer needlessly ,,,I have records now back to 1976 when I first complained and they said nothing was wrong then too

Now we are going to see who was crazy ,,I have ALL my records to show what they have put me through
