Hi all, I'm from Australia & my name is Daniel. I am diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder. I am a shy, quiet, introverted kind of guy. I'm just posting to hopefully make a new friend or two and interact with other like minded...

Melissa Jarrell Hello, welcome to mylot. My 18 year old daughter has schizoaffective disorder. I know from her it can be a struggle sometimes but we are here to lend a listening ear if you need to vent. A hobby you really like can sometimes help also.

Seizing the moment!

Fleur @Fleura (30338) • United Kingdom 9 Feb

Not such a good idea after all

Fleur @Fleura (30338) • United Kingdom 9 Feb

I’m not much of a one for doing exercise for its own sake. I ride my bike a lot as a means of transport and I work in the garden fairly often and go dancing about once a month. But that’s about it. Every now and then I wonder if...

How much do you think these things really help?

Amber @AmbiePam (92396) • United States 9 Feb

So these light bulbs are supposed to be easier on your eyes, making it easier to transition into sleep, and not being as harsh for your vision overall. I always wonder if these things really work, but I have a friend who has a...

Melissa Jarrell I'm sure they will miss their live-in nanny. The conversation has had to come up about her going away so your sister could make arrangements. It will be good for your mom to get away. I am sure she will have a good time with her friends. I am sorry to hear of...

Melissa Jarrell I like the unicorn. My daughter would absolutely love it. She likes all things unicorn. She has her bedroom and bathroom designed in unicorns. The only thing I can think of that starts with a v is a vulture.
