Sorry to hear about your surgery. Surely it will work out fine.
I have been diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder. For me it includes hearing voices along with persistent depressive disorder with periods of acute episodes accompanied by panic attacks. I do hear voices but my reality orientation is intact. Right now I am experiencing one such acute depressive episode. I can't take up a job bc of memory issues and have no friends at where I live. So like tired1234 I feel incredibly lonely and every day I m feeling more and more alone.
I m on an anti-psychotic bc otherwise my voices get more loud and get me agitated... but the anti-psychotic gets me a lot depressed I guess.
Hugs to you.
