Hi. I’m schyzoaffective and I’m 43 years old. Life can be really tough at times and at others I get some relief. I’m coming up to 3 years sober from alcohol. My question is i’ve just started doing my Bachelor of Arts degree and with the new learning I’m struggling at times to keep on track even though this will only be day 3. I get overwhelmed by feelings of inadequacy and confused by the course layout as it’s not really all in front of me. It’s not shown in detail what you should be doing. This is leading to feelings of I’m just not good enough to do the course. I had to take an additional med last night to stop my head racing away with feelings of inadequacy and some self defeatism. I’ve never really talked to anyone with schyzoaffective disorder and would love to hear some replies if anyone can help.
@Eden1919 Thank you. I just gave up last night. I ate some food and put on tv. I ended up falling asleep. It’s a new day today so I’ll try to reset and give myself a break. Thank you again. 😊😊
