About Me
I am 25 years old. I have pretty much isolated myself from society. I don't work and I collect disability. My doctors have diagnosed me as schizoaffective. I have hope of getting better, but still wonder if life is worth living. I have suicidal thoughts every day. I've been on so many drugs and I don't know if they are helping. I feel like the only thing that is helping is time. I have been in mental hospitals four times. I don't know what to do next.
Interests
