The diagnostic

As of late I spent a week (5/7-13/2011) in Pioneer Valley Hospital's psych ward. I got drunk earlier (I never drink) in the day on the 7th due to hearing voices. Now these voices weren't ever coherant, the best way I can put it is: room full of people and everyone is talking. For 2-3ish day I didn't rememeber anything, who I was and who my friends and family are. Once I got that back I just wanted out. I meet some nice people and the nurses/techs were really nice. After the 5th day I was diagnost with Schizoaffective disorder, I'll admit I was freaking out inside; I didn't know what this meant and what would others say, what could I do with my future career. I'm 22 and have already had a "nervous break down", but I have meds 5-6 depending on my anxiety. I hope that blogging about this will help me to come to terms with my sickness and help me cope. If there is anyone else in the same boat as me or just looking for a friend to turn to, send me some mail and I would be more then happy to say hi.
