schizophrenia support

[Wakeboarder24]

I find it hard to communicate my feeling as a schizo-affective person. It’s hard to find people who care about the troubles I’m going through. I’m high functioning so people have high expectations of me. I have been characterized as cognitively strong and people expect me to perform at a high level. They can’t understand that I have internal struggles and can be a high performer in other areas such as speak a lot of languages and have multiple degrees. A lot of times I look lazy but it’s hard to wake up early while taking antipsychotics. I hope that someday I can find a woman who will love me despite my flaws.

You will. It takes the right person; don’t settle and be patient. I think if you can communicate with her exactly what wrote here, there is a wonderful young woman aware enough to understand and appreciate your amazing qualities as well as your internal struggles. First find someone you can trust. Love will happen in it’s own time.

Yes, like the previous comment said, don't settle.

I have schizo-effective disorder too. And my thinking gets confused when it comes to my biological clock..it was worse before I had kids. I used to be desperately seeking someone because I was thinking I would run out of time...I have rushed marriage in the past because of that. The relationships were fair and I don't regret them, but they were not meant to last because I rushed and made big mistakes.

My point is to take your time and its good you have other focuses like your degrees. You will find someone with the same interests as you one day and fall in love. Don't rush to find anyone and don't rush anything when you find her.

Enjoy life and take your time in every moment! Life is beautiful, and self love is enough until you meet your destiny. Take care.
