Hi nfc,
I'm not schizophrenic, though in the past two years I've been hospitalized three times with psychotic episodes, delusional thinking and just generally mental breakdown. Was on Zyprexa each time. Tapering off that now. Been in therapy just over a year. 100%, well I am not there yet. I do know what it feels like. I do remember before I ever had breakdowns what that felt like and who I was and how I lived. I am not like that right now. Working on getting back to that. It can't happen fast enough, though my mind is in need of so much repair. I am doing okay, going to work, doing my responsibilities as a mom. Some days it seems I am barely hanging on. I wish therapy would work better and faster. That's pretty much my story.
I've read that schizo-affective disorder is one of the hardest diagnosis to have. I hope you can and will recover.
Welcome to the boards. It's a great place to talk about and read about the therapy process and the ups and downs of that, as well as the ups and downs of just coping when you have mental issues in general.
