I feel up and down at the same time. I feel happy and sad all at once. I don't know what's wrong with me.
I have schizoaffective disorder and missed a day off of taking the medication due to the chemist being closed and forgetting to pick it up.
I have never experienced anything like this, have you ever ever heard of it before ?

Yes the psychiatrist at first thought I had schizophrenia. So I was happy to be diagnosed correctly.
It's a shame it takes the doctors so long to get the right diagnosis.

@LilyqI am one of the older forum members and it is rare for people to get a mental illness like schizo in older age so that was the reason. Fair enough I understand that from the pdocs point of view. I hope you are able to get your medication tomorrow 🙂

Hey @Lilyq, euthymic states are the technical jargon used to describe a state of mind whch is baseline (neither up nor down). This is where I long to be all the time (and thankfully am at present). It means for me, the rollercoaster has paused.
