Your account of your experiences with having schizoaffective disorder is moving. I just now started to follow you, and I’m grateful for finding your videos!
Hi from Russia. Thank you for your story, I’ll be happy to watch your tips if they are on TH-cam... I’ve been struggling with this disease for 9 years now, a lot of things seem familiar
Hi! Thank you so much for sharing! I will be uploading more videos on my TH-cam about the different things that have helped me live with this disorder ☺️🙏 all the best to you! ☺️💪
You are a talented and beautiful human being. I saw a few videos Of your singing and you are absolutely fantastic, you are a natural. And you got really good taste. Hope your mental health continues to improve so you can leave a full rich life.
@@daren5013 you are correct, a person's looks do not define the quality of their mental health... But eventually, when someone isn't well, it does start to show on the outside.. just as choosing to care for one's mental health has the opposite effect of allowing you to shine from the inside out... And that shows physically too ☺️ thank you for taking the time to comment, I appreciate it ☺️🙏
Hi! Thanks for commenting! I do take antipsychotics, and there have been side effects. Especially at the higher dosages. But now that I am at an appropriate dosage, almost all the side effects are completely gone. While there have been side effects to my medication, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be here without them. I needed them to stabilize me and anchor myself in reality. Now that I have have been stabilized and have done the healing work alongside taking my medication, there is a plan to keep weaning me off the medication over the next few years until I am completely off them. But it takes time. Going off my meds all at once would be reckless. Permanent side effects are rare... I've seen the side effects go away as we progressively lowered my dosage.
@@LiveWithIntentionCoaching Permanent side effects are not that rare, actually, the risk of getting TD is 5% per year when taking antipsychotics. That's why on TV you see 'As you go with Austedo' and 'Ingrezza' . Very well recognized and admitted to.
@@dv_vid I admit to not being familiar with the two medications you just mentioned. I am on Abilify, which has a 0.45% annualized rate of occurrence for tardive dyskinesia... Hope this helps..
Thanks for sharing. I have Bipolar 2 and now at 56 I’m being changed to schizoaffective. I never knew I had any form of schizophrenia until it was recently explained to me. I thought it was all like being dropped in the movie “It’s a Beautiful Mind”, “The Truman Show” or a cartoon like Sponge Bob. Most mine are auditory and inner chatter and conversations/arguments. The are times when I see things very quickly or in my peripheral. The quick ones are like turning my head and noticing a friend then he’s not there on a double-take. The schizo stuff is not really an issue compared to the pain from the Bipolar symptoms.
@@Your-Uncle-Fester thank you for sharing and opening up 🙏 and how interesting that you would note that the bipolar symptoms are more difficult to live with than the schizophrenic symptoms. I had never thought of it like that before... Food for thought! 🧐☺️ Because it's true that the intensity of suffering is dictated by the bipolar side of things... I don't know how much suffering you're currently in but a focus on reducing sugar/carb intake, a focus on self-accountable introspection, and creating a habit for meditation (including short micro meditations) can go a really long way towards dampening the intensity of your moods and emotions. Cheers again for sharing! We got this! 💪😁

I hope you don't take antipsychotics, they will make you have permanent spastic movements.
