I wanted to ask others living with schizoaffective disorder:
Did you realize what was happening to you — or did it take years and someone else stepping in? For me, my symptoms went unrecognized (by myself and others) for over 10 years. During that time, I just thought I was struggling, “being dramatic,” or not trying hard enough to keep my life together. But I wasn’t lazy or broken — I was sick. And no one really saw it. It disrupted my relationships, schooling, work, and daily functioning in ways that weren’t obvious to anyone on the outside — and honestly, not even to me. It was so gradual and normalized that I didn’t question it. So I’m wondering: • When did you realize something was wrong? • Did you figure it out alone? • Did someone intervene? • How long did it take to get help or even a diagnosis? Just hoping to hear other people’s journeys and remind others they’re not alone if they’re still in that in-between space. 🫂 |

I've always had something wrong with me. I knew it others knew it. My parents wouldn't admit it. Turns out what I thought was wrong was just a piece of the puzzle.They didn't figure out until I was about 35.
