There are so many variants of Schizo affective disorders and Schizophrenia. The only thing I know for sure, is that people do not understand being mentally ill is different than being physically ill. As this lady says in the beginning of the film. I wish there was a class or video for normal people to watch so they can get a clue as to what it's like. Not that they need to feel sorry for us, but atleast understand us.

@Uhoh2012Productions You hit it point on....I don't want pity or insincerity, just patience and understanding. I wouldn't wish this on anyone even the most hateful of people. It hurts but the more I learn, my hope glimmers....and it won't be snuffed out!

What she said about being s happy to be labelled is exactly how I felt. I was so shaken by the way my mind worked and how I was just known as (Jokingly, granted) the "crazy one" who would eventually snap. Having a category to finally fit in was beautiful and gave me a real sense of place. As soon as I was diagnosed, I knew it wasn't my fault. Made the whole ordeal s much easier to deal with.

how did that work out for you?@nepomuzeno82

Schizoaffective isn't bad, it,s actually normal for me. The thing that is tough is the severe major depression with extreme psychosis that comes along with it, which is the recurrent. That is the part that sucks ass.

@wirewyatt420

Then you clearly arnt mentally ill if you find it easy to cope with, cos its factually not, if it was, why wouldnt we have sorted ourselves out years ago? Your an absolute fucking twat mate, but im interested to know how you were diagnosed if you dont talk to therapists or take medication.... Stupid naive little prick.

Her paintings are really good. She seems like a nice and intelligent person.

i very much love your story. I have autism and all kinds of disorders following that such as panic. i used to be angry and slept all the time. i started volunteering and it healed me. previous to the others peoples comments are very mean and you don't even deserve to talk. wirewyatt420
