I think I have schizoaffective disorder

[Cassee_s]

Hi BB! I’ve been questioning recently whether or not I have schizoaffective.
ive struggled with my mental health all my life and have a family history of bipolar,BPD, NPD, Clinical Depression and severe narcissistic trauma. I know a fair bit about mood and psychotic disorders as I used to study psychology before i got bad but lost the passion for it about three years ago. Since then I’ve not only lost passion for my hobbies but I’ve lost interest in having friends as I genuinely do not want to be around anyone as I feel they don’t understand. It’s not that I think people are dumb I just lack interest in talking about anything that isn’t something I’m passionate about. Maybe I’m a narcissist but I do care. I love my friends and family and I do feel empathy but only when I’m not having an episode. I got through phases of being amazing and honestly forgetting im unwell to not feeling anything at all to the point of almost committing. Either way I know I need help soon because it’s only getting worse. 
sorry for the ramble but can someone please help

Hey mate 🙂 

The greatest way to find out whether or not you have a mental condition is to go speak to a professional. It can be a big and scary leap but I feel like as soon as you stop guessing and get a definitive answer, you can take the next step into helping manage it. I avoided therapy and talking to people about my problems for so many years because I didn't think anyone could help, but I promise you, you will not regret seeking help. And anyway, what harm is there for just giving it a go. At the end of the day these people spent years of their lives learning how to help people just like us. You are not alone and you will never be alone, I promise. Please feel free to reach out to me I would love to talk about this with you more in a safe and non judgemental environment 🙂 - LJ ❤️
