What is your major malfunction?

[Secret Chief]

I'm schizoaffective with a load of problems that I have already shared at RF.

Cancer runs in my family , thanks to Jesus. . I will not be taking chemo when/if I get that lovely ticket out of this stupid world.

(Sorry, the world has a lot of beauty, but it has been an extremely miserable journey , and I'm always surrounded by stupid annoying people , whose only interest seems to be drugs, money, cars, sex, and hip-hop.

Yes, that lifestyle and mentality, I find stupid. But I was there, I'm trying to love them, and I'm trying to grow in maturity and charity and patience.)

Have you ever had cancer?

What the hell is wrong with you?

Not sure where minor becomes major.... but I have glaucoma and cataracts developing. I'm expecting to hear the word "operation" this very week. This for someone who once fainted in an optician's. I have controlled epilepsy. 100% controlled, hopefully.

I am either a higher functioning autistic person or have Asperger's. This means I am not social among other things, but for some reason this has changed some recently. I am very good at Mathematics partly as a result of this condition. My son is autistic, and cannot talk. He has a good personality, though.

I grew up with bad attention deficit, I hardly paid attention to what what the teacher was saying in the classroom a lot of the time. That has improved over time.

I have generalized anxiety. This does affect me now that there is less to be anxious about in retirement.

I have an inherited condition that I have, I forget the name of, it is rare. I have less strength in my legs. I am limited in how far I can walk each day. My brothers had this much worse. My younger brother from an early age had trouble walking, had trouble keeping his balance. In addition he what they call the complicated form which made him have an unpleasant personality, paranoid and the like. My older brother when he went to graduate school could not take the stress and bombed out. This was the beginning of his illness. Later he also had trouble keeping his balance at an older age than my younger brother. My younger bother died at 54, my older bother at 68. I am 70, I am not schizophrenic or paranoid, I don't have trouble with my balance really. This condition does not bother me at all.

A couple of years ago, as a reaction to withdrawing from Haldol, I suddenly contracted tardive dyskinesia. I could not keep my balance very well, I could not eat properly, only drinking or soft foods. I shook. Things went from bad to worse for a while. Then they found the proper drug for me. It costs thousands of dollars, but with a combination of social security insurance and charitable contributions from Healthwell Foundation, there's no problem. The drug has not worn off in it's effect over time, as I expected. I feel back to where I was before this happened. The only problem is will the charity continue indefinitely.

All in all, I am content.

I have Tartive Dyskenisia from Abilify.

Are you now prescribed Closaril?

I get extremely socially awkward and self-conscious, have a hard time expressing emotions doing so in unhealthy ways (I sometimes cut), and get panic attacks.

That used to be me, too. It can be miserable.

Now that abilify is stopped, my tremors should gradually go away over a period of months.

I recommend staying away from antipsychotics unless they are making significant positive changes.

That's good to know. Some quack of a psychiatrist put Ares on abilify when he was only 4; it sedated him to a point he was like a zombie. I took him off of it and took him elsewhere; learned it was dangerous to put someone so young on abilify. He's on rispirdal now, but it doesn't do much. Just puts him in a slightly better mood, but if he takes a bigger dose, he get s euphoric and gets really naughty.

I take a drug called Austedo for that. I think it's new. When a drug is new, that's when they seem to charge an outrageous price for it. I have my heart checked to see if it's still okay every once in a while as a precaution. Apparently there's a possible side affect on the heart.

What the hell is wrong with you?

OMG! Well, I'm a mess. Have been all my life.
Physically, Psychologically, Mentally........... Messy!

So I can enjoy nice people whatever and whoever they are, because I know I'm more messed up than anybody so there's nobody to dismiss.

So I understand how unbelievably incredibly lucky am (and have been) to have my wife with me, or me with her.

Details? Ummmm... too many...... Ah! Socially completely dysfunctional, a loner who avoids groups and clubs. Fick. Looking back I know how fick I've been at different times so I don't judge anybody by their IQ or lack of it. etc.

That's it........... my personal mess is worse than anybody else's so you all look and are good.
