@Penny how did you survive it?

Penny · 46-50, F

@Gemini16 with a lot of patience and love. he was mostly well controlled with medication but would have occasional flare ups or episodes so it wasn't a constant thing

@Penny I think you have to be a strong person to deal with that! And kind too!

@Gemini16 you have to 1. be able to put up with a lot of shit and 2. be able to tune it out when necessary. i actually have schizoaffective disorder too (which is currently well controlled by meds) so I might be a little more sympathetic or understanding than others regarding.
