I understand bipolar disorder (though as an observer). Emotional lag is the worst kind of lag.

I'm not sure how much of schizoaffective disorder I understand, but a friend of mine has it and know some of their experience.

Schizoaffective disorder is a terrifying and a lonely illness, so I hope that your friend doesn't suffer too much โ€” my heart goes out to them. I have my wife to help me when I need her, but I have otherwise chosen to isolate myself and handle it on my own. I take my meds, I take care of my mind and body, and I attend therapy to get the tools I need. I have always fought my own battles and I don't think anyone can actually help me, nor could I ever bring myself to put that burden on anyone. I have my journal, the gym, my running shoes, and my workshop, plenty of healthy ways to get help without burdening anyone who doesn't know what they're signing up for.

Sorry about that, my friend. Remember, you're always welcome here. Sending lots of hugs.
