Hey all and I mean all

Hey all and I mean all

I've been living in the dark by myself for the past 10+ years with depression, schizophrenia and/or schizoaffecitve disorder I'm still trying to figure it out with my psychiatrist. But after all this time I feel I am starting to get my life together or as much as possible. Just wondering how people with mental health issues are going with work and having a family and relating to friends? I had a normal upbringing and was good at sports my whole life till I got diagnosed with a mental health issue (still figuring out what it is). Just a big warm hello and I hope we can fight this to the end. Just wondering if you guys can share any tips or life experiences with me going forward.

kindest regards,

Hello @Former-Member

Very pleased, that you have had clarified for you, details that I hope will help you to move forward. Now, hopefully, it will be a bit less like sailing without a map. Now, you will have a fair idea, ahead of time, where the 'reefs and whirlpools' are, that you need to do your best to avoid.

I do hope, that knowing which parts of your experience have been, and are most likely to be, disruptive and challenging, will give you a clearer path ahead.

You also appear to be realistic about future obstacles. None of us are free of those. But, having the tools and knowledge to deal with them, makes a great deal of difference.

With My Very Best Wishes

for

Your Future Life Travels

But there will be more battles to come, which I accept.


I am really impressed with your attitude, @Former-Member . And I hope that this will help you as you move forward and deal with the symptoms.
