Hi all, this is my 3rd attempt at my first sharepost but I haven't been happy with the others. I guess you could say my illness is severe or mild, I think it is severe , but I also seem to function ok most days. I tend to ignore the fact Im sick and I try to function everyday and ignore it. So...

    First of all I want to welcome you to this site. Congratulations on writing your post and for all you have accomplished in your life. You have so much to be proud of! I can't imagine relocating to another country. I have been living with schizoaffective illness over half of my life and I know first hand all you have gone thorough. i hope you and your family can get on better and they can accept the fact you have a mental illness. I think it is very important for our families to back us!

     

    Anyway I wanted to respond to your post and to say you are always welcome here and i hope you find this site as helpful as i have.

    Hi there Janet,

     

    thankyou for your encouragement and support. I have had mixed feelings about what I wrote, but there is no sense in hiding it.

     

    Anyway, thankyou for welcoming me to this site.

    Welcome to this site. I hope you find it rewarding and helpful. I've had a diagnosis for 28 years now. I can relate to alot of what you said. One thing though you cannot ignore your diagnosis. When I was 1st sick many years ago there wasn't that many meds available. Now there is a whole host of em. The key is finding what works and taking them religiously. Also finding and using coping methods. I'm always looking for ways to better myself. This site helps tremendously. Good luck and hang in there.
