@Klr83  I know the feeling I get the paranoia that my food is poisoned .....  just thinking about it is triggering it more ......  I have schizoaffective disorder too. I dont know what the answer is .... just wanted you to know that I am with you .... you are not alone xx

Hi I'm new here. Just wanted to say thanks for sharing where your at. Just wondering could the stress of current events have a part in it maybe. I know I have been struggling with it.
