He rarely talks to his friends and rarely goes anywhere besides u and work. How is schizoaffective disorder diagnosed. Thankfully I came home in time and was able to stop him. I hope it works out as well for you two. There could be 100 people in the room with me and I would still responsible alone. He got mad at me and said I cared more about his job than I did for his well being, which is not true. Just having this illness is so difficult to the point that i have given up thinking that i will ever find any man that would prime me and love me that much the way your husband loves you.
Page 1 of 3 , , Dating is very hard for everyone, but it is very hard when you have to keep secrets about yourself. I have Schizo affective disorder, otherwise known as Formal Thought Disorder. It is a serious mental illness which has some schizophrenic features and depression or bipolar. I have been hospitalized and baker acted forcibly hospitalized a few times for mental illness. I hear voices, when I don't take my medications... That is pretty scary for me and my family. During my last relapse, I heard voices coming through the television, telephone, air conditioning ducts and my home became a prison to me. People don't normally think schizo affective or mental illness, when they visualize me. It is something I deal with everyday. My issue is this. Should I disclose this information to man before I date him. I am scared of people judging me in a negative light. I am totally fine, when I take my medications... Should I disclose this information to interested parties or should I wait to get to know someone. My issue is this. Should I disclose this information to man before I date him.

Certainly not before even starting to date. If it becomes important to you that someone know this about you, that is the time to tell them. Honestly, and IDK about anybody else, but worrying about anybody in the dating world knowing about this is not that serious as having a psychotic episode while you are in the operating room. That is a serious disorder and if you are worrying about an episode while you are in the operating room, that could only mean that you HAVE had episodes while medicated. That could mean your whole future. Perhaps this part might be important to disclose just in case something were to happen if you were with someone. The rest could come out slowly as you get to know and trust someone. Seems to me that if you function normally every day, you're holding a job, going to school..... You sound like a great woman from your profile. I apologize in advance for all of those who wont understand and will mistreat you because of it. You don't deserve it, but that will happen. I wouldn't tell someone immediately, but as soon as you begin to think that you really like someone and think there might be a chance for something to develop I would immediately tell him then. That way if he is going to cut and run you haven't gotten too far into the emotional involvement of the relationship. Best of luck to you! I would advise taking all this info, anything regarding medical issues, etc, off of your profile and waiting to tell those things in person after someone has had a chance to meet you. You cant help who you are, and you cant change it. You're a gorgeous girl and you seem really sweet and fun, there are lots of guys dying to date someone like you. To most of the people that we'll casually meet in our lives, or who read our profiles on a dating site, or who we may exchange 1 or 2 emails with before forgetting about them, our complete medical histories are unimportant to them; and, in my opinion, are none of their damn business. Unlike a physical handicap, mental illness sadly carries some amount of social stigma. Which can lead to a lot of negative misconceptions and unfair judgements by some people. Why put yourself at risk of being unfairly subjected to the ignorant judgements of small-minded people? Save your disclosure for the people who you think can be understanding and supportive. The rest of the world doesn't need to know. I do think, once you are getting to know someone well, as a potential romantic interest, you should decide to tell them. But, I also think that you shouldn't leave it too long though. Someone who may be considering a relationship with you, probably deserves to know. After all, you want to eventually find a partner who's going to be understanding and supportive of your illness. We are free in our choices. I do not want someone who will add misery to my problems. Schizo brings panic attacks, bipolar is a mind swing. Unless controlled by meds it is a call for trouble. It is none of their business. When you feel comfortable with someone and feel that a romantic relationship could develop, then it is time to let them know. This is a dating site, a way to break the ice, and meet people. There is no need to advertise this on your site, or when you first meet someone from here. Again, wait until you feel comfortable, and if you feel a romantic relationship may develop, and then tell them. Someone suggested 3 or 4 dates. That sounds very reasonable. By then you will know if it could be a potential partner. My daughter is ADHD and believes that she may be borderline bipolar. She works in the social field helping others help themselves. In her line a work she meets lots of wonderful people who also have disorders. Perfect place fo discuss your concerns, and maybe meet someone who will be a benefit in your life, buy understanding what the issues are and accepting that person as they are. And…they are wonderful people. I say disclose this when you feel you have met someone of whom you two may become serious. Not just someone you met and may not even date or become serious with. JMO I am sorry for your disorder, let me say I have met men with disorders, however, they do not believe they have any. Even if meds appear to control it. Remember, meds are intended for a particular physical condition. If you get sick or otherwise changed metabolically and the meds aren't as effective, the person needs to know the warning signs and how to handle them. Op has stated she has been hospitalized repeatedly, even against her will with this disorder. That means she was totally out of control. And she had no clue. Ever been around someone who hears voices telling them this or that, do this or that? I work with a few. You never know from one minute to the next, what is going to happen, and these ARE medicated people. Sorry OP, best of luck to you. But no way Jose, would I deal with this stress at home. Train wreck waiting to happen. I do not want to worry about someone waking me up in the night with a knife at my throat for something they heard in their head. Unfortunately, that is a common thing with Schizophrenic Disorder. I would want to know this at the get go. And take a pass. Who knows what a second or third conversation would bring? I feel for you OP. There is no easy solution for your situation. Before going off on a limb to disclose something like that, which is an ever-present part of your life, what have they disclosed to you that is important? What trust have they placed in you that would warrant telling them something so personal about yourself? At whatever point you decide to say; if despite how they feel about you that is a sudden problem, I wouldn't be too concerned. Just another guy, not a man. You'd be better off without. If you feel you want to have something with someone then tell them of course but until you are of the mind to include them into your life as someone more then just an acquaintance then they do not need to know. Hmmm thought I knew everything... But can speculate a lil bit.... Would guess within a reasonable amount of time would work. Cuz its your personal business and someone Uve just met,... Could wait until, you at least know U have a real interest in pursuing something with them anyway. Guys who are mainly just interested in possible sex,.... But after U figure out they could be someone your interested in, at that point. Wouldnt wait too long to bring it up, cuz it might feel like you were being dishonest. Then I guess it would just depend on how U broached the subject from there. The ole not what U say,.... I have super cooties from outer space and your probally going to die. Nah just kidding, I have insert mental issues here though. Didnt want to tell you until I knew U a little better and I really like U. Its not contagious and not even an issue, with medication. Ummm pass the salt. Never mind dating worries, does your employer know you have this issue? People with schizoaffective disorder are likely to have additional conditions, including anxiety disorders and substance abuse. Social problems, such as long-term unemployment, poverty and homelessness, are common. Furthermore, the average life expectancy of people with the disorder is shorter than those without the disorder, due to increased physical health problems and a higher suicide rate. I think her employer DOES need to know to a certain extent. If she has been hospitalized and does not take her medication she could start to hallucinate in many situations. Hear the wrong instructions, panic.. I don't see where you cant have a fulfilling life if treated properly and surrounding yourself with the right people and live a healthy life style. Avoiding your known triggers, if there are any. Most disorders do have them. So don't know what avenue you should be taking so far as employment. But if you are responsible in anyway for the safety of others, maybe choose another profession. Unless you are thinking about becoming involved... Your need to disclose it... Unfortunately, that is a common thing with Schizophrenic Disorder. A guy who was a major in bag checking, killed his mother with a knife in my third year there. The school newspaper made a mention that he had been a schizophrenic. Apparently it is NOT a common thing for schizophrenics to be violent. You have a greater chance to kill someone if you have a common cold than if you have schizophrenia. Even PMS for women or doing a bad job at buttoning up your shirt or tying your shoelaces wrong for guys are a higher indication to kill someone that day than being a schizophrenic. I have no clue what schizoaffective disorder means. Means you are an affectionately schizophrening? I know a person who is schizophrenic, Bipolar, was taking meds, alcohol and had a drug addiction too. He was 26 and a college student. Unfortunetely and tragically he is now charged with the stabbing death of his own mother who gave him birth and raised him. This tragedy happened in my City on December13, 2009. Mental illnesses MUST be controlled with the right meds with NO adding to them illegal drugs and alcohol.........
