LIVING WITH A DISABILITY
HELLO MY NAME IS CHELSEA AND I CURRENTLY LIVE IN ANDOVER, MASSACHUSETTS U.S.A. I HAVE A THING CALLED SCHIZOAFFECTIVE DISORDER AND I ITS NOT EASY LIVING WITH THIS CONDITION. I TRY TO CONCEAL IT BUT EVERYTIME, FOR SOME REASON, I HAVE TO BRING IT UP WHENEVER SOMEONE NOTICES THAT I TAKE MEDS. FOR IT. IN CASE YOU DIDN'T KNOW SCHIZOAFFECTIVE DISORDER I CAN'T SAY ITS REALLY MUCH OF WHAT PEOPLE MIGHT THINK OF SCHIZOPHRENIA, IT'S A BIT MORE DIFFERENT. I CAN'T REALLY SAY ITS MUCH LIKE SCHIZOPHRENIA, BECAUSE I DON'T SEE OR HEAR THINGS WHEN NOT PRESENT. OR IT COULD ALSO BE DESCRIBED AS ALMOST PART BIPOLAR DISORDER, BUT ALL I REALLY HAVE IS A CONDITION THAT'S REALLY A PSYCHOTIC OR MOOD DISORDER. ITS NOT EASY LIVING WITH THIS CONDITION BECAUSE PEOPLE THINK THAT I'M CRAZY. BUT THAT'S SO BEYOND WHAT'S TRUE. ONE THING EVERYONE MUST KNOW IS THAT I AM JUST AS NORMAL OR PRODUCTIVE THAN EVERYBODY ELSE. I HAVE "FEELINGS..." THAT'S MORE TO SAY THAN EVERYBODY ELSE IN THE MEDICAL FIELD OF PSYCHIATRY WHO ONLY ASSUME THAT JUST BECAUSE YOU HAVE ANY UNRECOGNISED "TEMPERMENTS" THEY AUTOMATICALLY THINK THAT YOU ARE HAVING A REACTION TO WRONG MEDS. (SO NOT THE CASE!) WITH THEIR INDIFFERENCE IN THEIR DEALINGS WITH ME, AND THE WAY THEY THINK THEY HAVE ALL THE ANSWERS TO MY NEEDS, USING EMPTY WORDS OF ASSURANCE WHEN IT DON'T MEAN NOTHING, IT'S REASON ENOUGH TO BE DISCOURAGED AND FRUSTRATED THROUGH ALL OF THIS. ALL PSYCHIATRISTS ARE EVIL! I SHALL SEEK TO THEIR PARENTS SO THAT THEY CAN TEACH THEM A THING OR TWO ABOUT BEING POLITE TO OTHERS! hEE HEE! WITH THAT I LEAVE YOU. SEE YA LATER. BYE!
