I think living with both ptsd &amp; schizoaffective disorder would be a very draining, challenging &amp; perhaps a lonely experience too...I feel for you...</P> <P>I think managing work &amp; mental health issues can be very challenging. No wonder when you do work, it takes such an enormous toll on you...it can’t be easy...</P> <P>Thinking of you and hoping today treats you a bit better...</P> <P>Kindness &amp; care,</P> <P>Pepper</P> Tue, 24 Mar 2020 22:35:21 GMT https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/ptsd-and-trauma/ptsd-and-schizoaffective-disorder/m-p/436374#M12221 Peppermintbach 2020-03-24T22:35:21Z
