Hello everyone, I'm returning to the forums after a break, with a new user name. I've been reading the posts here for years and I feel at home here and it helps me to feel less isolated. 

I live with schizoaffective disorder and melancholic depression. I'm late 40s, separated and I work, share the care for my children and I also help support my elderly parents when I can. I'm just getting over the breakdown of my relationship with my children's dad after which I experienced a psychosis, and was hospitalised. I then returned to work while I was still symptomatic and now I have a depression episode. I've changed my medication in amongst it all so the schizophrenia symptoms are finally managed. 

I am inspired by the way we all support each other in these forums and hope that by rejoining I can contribute well too.
