Schizoaffective disorder, bipolar type-- I'm back at 23

Hello everyone. I made a new account because I couldn't seem to login to the old one I used to have as a teenager. I'm 23 years old now. I now have a diagnosis of schizoaffective disorder, bipolar type. Which if you don't know, that means symptoms of schizophrenia, and a mood component which in my case is bipolar disorder. I get manic and depressive episodes but also get psychosis during and between episodes. I'm not ALWAYS in psychosis, but I have episodes then have residual symptoms between episodes.

Last night I was starting to get some more symptoms in which my speech started not making sense and I started hallucinating again.

I wrote in my notes on my phone:

"it's important to have your own organ attached to you. I actually took both of these parents as a child".

I realized later that it was odd and didn't make a ton of sense. But in the moment, it's either a voice I hear, or it's some kind of delusion.

Anyway, thanks for everyone who stood by my side through my teen years when I used to use this site a lot.

Happy to haha you back!

I think writing things in your notes app is a great idea even if the notes don’t make sense. You can share them with your providers so they know what’s happening.

That must be so hard to go through. You’re not defined by the diagnosis — you’re still you, and you’re doing the best you can.
