Living With Schizoaffective Disorder
I never quite understood society and I probably never will. Human kind to me are inconsistent with their efforts and I can safely state that the majority of us lack on most parts any form of sustainable substance, which brings me to the detriment of my own unfulfilled simple existence.

First Diagnosis
I didn't even know that Borderline Personality Disorder was a thing until I was twenty-six years old and it was fall of 2019. I remember I had a sore throat so I went to express care, next thing I knew I had strep throat and I was on an antibiotic called penicillin. I can't exactly remember when I started taking the medication, however I do remember the very next day was not a happy one. I was getting ready for work and playing with my daughter on the couch, she was about a year and a half old at the time. I was perfectly fine and then all of a sudden I wanted to kill myself.

Compulsive Liars
Have you ever known someone that you asked a fairly innocent question, like ”Did you ever have a beard?”, and much later you discover their reply was a lie? You wonder, why on earth would they have lied about that? What difference would telling the truth have made? And your opinion of that person slips a bit.

Mental Health: The Secret Killer
"I wish that people could understand that the brain is the most important organ in your body. Just because you can't see it like you could see a broken bone doesn't mean it's not as detrimental and devastating to a family or an individual" - Demi Lovato

Voice's of an Aspie
Voices of an Aspie Voices of an Aspie... The first thing I guess we can start off with in these blogs is a topic that is a very serious topic that millions of people deal with on a daily basis. That topic is Autism. I am a single , or was a single father for years. He was diagnosed when he was 4. Now I have a woman that is a great mother to him. Many problems occur when dealing with Autism. The worse thing we've had to deal with; well it's hard to judge. So many things stem from Autism, such as Anxiety, A.D.D., A.D.H.D., Etc...An Autistic mind is so strong. It's impossible to fully know what a parent may have to deal with on a daily basis. The most horrifying, yet intriguing thing we have dealt with, was when my/our son was diagnosed as having Schizophrenia. One night my lady was going over school work with my boy. He replied to her at one point: "Well they told me I was doing it right." We were like "Who is They?" He then began to tell us all about who "They" were. Apparently my son, for years had been hearing voices in his head. He explained that each voice had a name and a different personality. He gave us ten different names, & described their their traits to us. It's hard to remember all of them. I know there was one identified as Summer, another was Thomas, and so on. They all contributed in different ways. One of them was a motherly type. Another was one that helped him in school with different studies. The main one, the boss I guess, his name was Daniel. He was very evil. My son told us dreadful things that "Daniel" would tell him to do. Just for an example, one particular time my son told us that "Daniel" told him to hang my girls kid, My step-daughter, to hang her upside down and skin her alive. Obviously this was a major concern. It took us months for us to learn that the more we and the Dr.'s spoke to him about these voices; the more he would talk about what they would tell him. Eventually we just quit acknowledging the voices he would speak of . It took a while to get through it, but we did it. I'm glad to say that he is not schizophrenic. As I said about the mind-strength of the Autistic mind. At the age of 3 or 4, someone had allowed him to watch the horror movie "The Grudge". After that seeing that somehow; what began as only thoughts, eventually developed into their own entity's. They had been effecting my son's behavior for years. I asked him why he didn't say something sooner. He replied that he thought that everybody heard voices like that. Now that is one of many difficulties we have all gotten through together. If you would like to ask a question about this story, or would like to hear another, or post one of your own, feel free to. I would be glad to help in anyway I can. Maybe I could get help from something you've experienced in your dealings with Autism. Regardless, feel free to leave your thoughts. Thank You...
