I understand about the meds. My meds make me sluggish some days and it is hard to shake out of. It is kind of a double edged sword. On one hand they pills help and make you a better person, but on the other the side effects are kind of harsh. Is your wife understanding? Does she offer good support?

Yes, for the most part. I think she was just glad I finally realized I need to figure out why I didn't feel right. Now that I've got a better handle on it, it's much easier to see how my issues were impacting my life. I suppose it's like when you finally get glasses on and realize "Oh! Yeah this is what it's like for other people."
Plus I've figured out some ways to circumvent the issues I have with my meds. For example I typically workout either right before breakfast on weekends, or prior to coming home after work. The rush I get from it helps push me heading into evening family and household duties.

Have you heard of the videogame Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice?
It's a game where the protagonist has a schizoaffective disorder. The creators tried very hard to make sure they properly represented it without making light of it or glorifying/vilifying people who have it.

I have not heard of it. Thank you I will read up on it.
That is the problem with media, for so long they had people with mental illness portrayed as dangerous people who there was no help for. Tv Movies and yes even comic books have not done the best job of handling people with mental health disorders for the longest time. And that helped make people scared to come forward. I am glad to see that this is getting better.

I know I have been posting on here a lot this week. But it has not been a good week. Monday and Tuesday I was very depressed. Wednesday I had to take my sick cat to the vet. And Friday night my dad who has been very sick the last few days had to go to the hospital. They ran all kinds of test and we were there for 6 hours. At last they found the cause and gave us meds and sent us home. I didnt get to bed until 130 am.
I woke up at 630 this morning feeling a little better about the world. I had a huge burst of energy and cleaned my house like crazy. But another strike. As I went to do wash i discovered that my washer is broken. ARRGGG!!!! The good thing is that we have a service plan on it. They are coming to get it and send it to service Tuesday. Luckily I did a lot of wash during the day Friday so I am not hurting for cloths. And the most positive thing I can take away from this is that I am not freaking out. I did at first, then I made calls and got service date set up. took a couple deep breaths and talked to my dad.
I am not letting the past couple of days defeat me. I am trying very hard to make things in my mind go smooth. Tonight I am going to center myself. Watch a little tv and get my head back on straight. Go to bed early and get a good nights sleep for the first time is a week. And Sunday I am going to get back to reading my comics and relaxing. This has been a bad week but I promise myself that next week will be better.
Thank you to everyone who have posted kind words and advice to me this week.

Time for me to post an intro in this thread. I have ADD and my wife has PTSD and traumatic brain injury. This can be a volatile combination but we usually make it work.

Was sick for like 2 weeks and started feeling pretty bad. Then I was asleep for a full day due to meds and had a migrained all day that seemed to make things worse. I managed to get back on top of reading my comics tonight and it has made a world of difference, even if it is a struggle at times it always makes me feel better
Sometimes I feel defeated and honestly lately I have been feeling very defeated, contemplated some negative things because it is hard to imagine things ever getting better for me
Been gone for a while, everything sucks at the moment. Seems like the world hates me. Hope everyone is staying healthy and safe and protecting themselves from coronavirus. Am suicidal at the moment but at least I have an excuse to self-isolate ...

Seriously. Reach out. Sometimes shit sucks, but you'll get through it.
There came a time when the Old Gods died! The Brave died with the Cunning! The Noble perished locked in battle with unleashed Evil! It was the last day for them! An ancient era was passing in fiery holocaust!
