Live With Intention Coaching by Tati Sarasin
Добавлен 15 июн 2024
Hi everyone! My name is Tati and I was diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder in 2011. After meandering for years, I was finally able to build myself up with a strong foundation of values and habits, and a new perspective on life. I now offer life coaching to those who suffer from schizoaffective disorder, as well as their loved ones, in order to share the tools I've gathered along the way and help you navigate life with more ease and regain a sense of purpose and direction and balance. Check out my channel to see if you might be interested in more focused individual and "family & friends" coaching sessions! My goal is to provide you with the support you need to make constructive progress towards wellness. If I can do it, so can you!
Advice from someone with Schizoaffective Disorder: connect, connect, connect!
in my experience, Schizoaffective Disorder is an extreme form of denial in which you become so disconnected with yourself that you eventually disconnect from reality altogether because you are seeking connection so desperately while neglecting yourself entirely in the process. This disconnection from self is one of the main reasons I struggled to connect to others and ended up completely isolated, alone, and depressed. So: you have to make yourself a priority before you can help anyone else.

Rest: the ultimate tool to managing your Schizoaffective Disorder
Просмотров 168Месяц назад
Rest is crucial for everyone. But even more so for people with mental health issues. If you have a tendency to lean in to avoiding looking at your own needs because you're always trying to do things for everyone else, it's time for you to take a beat and rest... and don't forget to take time out of your schedule to do something for yourself to replenish your batteries. Creative outlets are an a...
Remember to rest! Especially if you have Schizoaffective disorder like I do!

Take your wellness seriously - mind, heart, body, and soul - and watch your life transform for the better. In this episode you'll find a few tips that have worked for me...
My experience with the antipsychotic "Abilify" in treating my schizoaffective disorder
Просмотров 1712 месяца назад
In this video I simply share my experience with my antipsychotic medication; the pros, the cons, what worked, what didn't... The medication I am talking about is called "Abilify" and can be found in pill form and in injectable form (Abilify Maintena). I also discuss the theme of spirituality, which can be a tricky area for people with schizoaffective disorder to come to terms with. And last but...

What brought you back in your case? Therapy, talking to someone, or other things? I was just curious. But isn't the disorder always kind of lurking in the background, and you have to do the work to kind of keep it from derailing your mind and body?
What great questions! Thank you so much for asking 🙏☺️ I would say that the first step in bringing me back was finding a sense of self... And that started with being honest and curious about myself... I consciously asked myself what my values were, what my needs were, what my likes and dislikes were.. I started to truly listen to myself and living in alignment with consciously-set boundaries... And yes, therapy, talking openly about my disorder to friends, a balanced nutrition, proper sleep, fresh air and sunlight are all crucial... To simplify... I learned to actively love and care for myself and take joy in doing so... But it started with baby steps.. it was very tedious at first.. until one day it wasn't... And I always advance cautiously with the awareness that another episode is a possibility... But I don't let the fear take over... Therapy has helped me immensely in learning how to regulate my emotions (with the right therapist for me) and regulate rather than try to eliminate fear... It takes consistent imperfect action and work but the results are undeniable and make all the efforts more than worthwhile! Hope this answers your questions! Thanks again for being curious ☺️🙏
I was reading up on this and other similar disorders a few months ago and the past year or more, for my own research and knowledge as much as anything. For some reason I thought Schizoaffective Disorder didn't have characteristics of schizophrenia such as hallucinations or breaks with reality. I thought it was more like just the person withdraws from society, are loners, insular, etc. So this disorder is somewhere between bipolar and full on schizophrenia? I'm still confused. Isn't there also a disorder known as "Schizoid" disorder? Which is much different than schizophrenia? Nevermind, looked it up again, I meant Schizoid Personality Disorder, which I'd also read up on awhlle ago. Myself, I have a history of depression, panic attacks, anxiety disorder, and Asperger's, and a mood disorder (undefined somehow by a previous therapist). I was only diagnosed Asperger's in 2001 as an adult. I'm reasonably social and always was, gregarious, but sometimes I also like to withdraw, be alone, and do my own thing: I'm single, I love playing guitar on my own, reading, movies, even exercise I tend to do on my own thus far. Listening to music is more of a solitary thing for me. But then again I could put that down to Asperger's. I've never had a break with reality, but I have had a few past episodes of derealization/ depersonalization, I believe, that went hand in hand with a current panic or anxiety attack. That was disturbing, albeit brief.
You are a talented and beautiful human being. I saw a few videos Of your singing and you are absolutely fantastic, you are a natural. And you got really good taste. Hope your mental health continues to improve so you can leave a full rich life.
@@trouaconti7812 my heart is melting 🙏🩷 thank you for making my day! And for your kind encouragement! Means a whole bunch! 🙏
I try to rest sometimes
Dame why did my comment get deleted... Was the truth hurts that bad.. 🤔
Awww... so sad... i have that disorder too and i totally agree with you... thank you for your honesty... it really means a lot... you are never alone... God is always with you... keep on keeping on... there are better days ahead... i feel your pain and struggle... ive been thru it plenty of times... you are a blessing to youtube and to the world... we are all lucky to have you
@@chefbenardee1408 thank you so much for your encouragement 🙏 I was able to get a good night's sleep, wash my hair (🤣), and now I'm back to feeling like myself again! I also want to thank you for sharing that you have this disorder too! Means a lot ☺️
@@LiveWithIntentionCoaching you're welcome... you are not alone... I know how you feel
@@chefbenardee1408 🌻 neither are you 😉 I know you know that but sometimes it's nice to be reminded, just as you have done for me ☺️🙏 have a great day
@LiveWithIntentionCoaching you too... keep on fighting... it's hard at times to push forward, but this too shall pass... as Dory from Finding Nemo said, Just Keep Swimming... you are a gift to the world... remember that
@@chefbenardee1408 love that reference! 🐟🐟🐟 Words to live by
agreed
@@ReneyHernandez right? It's so important! 😉🌻
My experience is nobody cares and social security benefits take forever to get
@@MikeKaye-d3o yes... It can certainly feel that way at times... A lot of the time actually... That's why we learn to show up for ourselves 😉 I also completely agree on the social security benefits taking forever... For everyone! That system needs fixing for sure! But hang in there... You got this!
I wish the child of my mother would do the same as yourself. She refuses to take medication and I can't force the state to give her a shot. In and out of psych wards most of her adult life. I don't know why youtube recommended this to me, but you have some solid, profound advice, and I don't think you'll be ending up in a clinical setting like that ever again. God bless.
@@Plumbum9 I feel for you... This disorder is just as difficult to go through for the person affected as it is for the people that love us... And this is why I share my story so openly... In hopes that it can make a difference somehow because I remember those days of absolute chaos and volatility... And what it did to my relationships and to the people who love me... It took years for me to build back trust after being stabilized... But it took me realizing just how much pain and distress I was putting everyone through (after a temporary stabilization on pills) in order to accept the injection treatment. I sincerely wish you and your family the best of luck with all this 🙏🙏🙏 and thank you so much for watching my video, and your encouraging words on my behalf.. it means a lot 🙏🙏🙏
Very useful statement. Hope you improve further!
@@aurasensor thank you! I intend to 😁🙏🌻
Thank you.

I think you're extremely self aware and the fact that you were able to make that decision to use the monthly shot vs the daily pill is a great thing! In my experience with Abilify, I was experiencing psychosis due to PTSD, drug use and sleep deprivation, and it was not amazing lol I was seeing my dead fiance being embalmed in the street and hearing my name being whispered from different directions. Went to the psych ward. The switched my antidepressant to Abilify, and like you, I couldn't take it every day. I just didn't like it. They talked about giving me the shot, so I started taking it daily as prescribed. After about a week it gave me progressively worse tardive dyskinesia and uncontrollable muscle movements in the face and hands- so awful!! So after ending up in the hospital and psych ward a few more times, and trying new meds, I had to accept that antipsychotics are not compatible with my brain. I had similar reactions with Latuda and Haldol so it is both first and second generation antipsychotics. Nothing against Abilify. My sister is bipolar and takes Abilify and it saved her life. You seem like you are doing amazingly. I love hearing your journey and advice, congratulations on your success❤
Hi! Thank you so much for sharing your story 🙏 I empathize very strongly with what you've been through. And I am so sorry that Abilify is not an option for you. But don't give up! There are things you can do other than medication to practice self-care and minimize the risks of psychosis. You are already resilient for surviving what you've been through. And I wish you all the best in your healing journey 🙏🌻 and thanks again for sharing! The more open and honest we can be, the better we can be understood and the less stigma will be attached to this diagnosis. All the best to you ❤
For what it's worth I suggested to a friend who suffers with SD' to watch some YT uploads as done by Eckhart Tolle. He is pleased and gotten some reprieve from the condition. Just hoping his teachings might help others. Search for "How to Deal With Negative Emotions". It's a good place to start. 😉☮🕉

I hope you don't take antipsychotics, they will make you have permanent spastic movements.
Hi! Thanks for commenting! I do take antipsychotics, and there have been side effects. Especially at the higher dosages. But now that I am at an appropriate dosage, almost all the side effects are completely gone. While there have been side effects to my medication, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be here without them. I needed them to stabilize me and anchor myself in reality. Now that I have have been stabilized and have done the healing work alongside taking my medication, there is a plan to keep weaning me off the medication over the next few years until I am completely off them. But it takes time. Going off my meds all at once would be reckless. Permanent side effects are rare... I've seen the side effects go away as we progressively lowered my dosage.
@@LiveWithIntentionCoaching Permanent side effects are not that rare, actually, the risk of getting TD is 5% per year when taking antipsychotics. That's why on TV you see 'As you go with Austedo' and 'Ingrezza' . Very well recognized and admitted to.
@@dv_vid I admit to not being familiar with the two medications you just mentioned. I am on Abilify, which has a 0.45% annualized rate of occurrence for tardive dyskinesia... Hope this helps..
Nawl it's usually those antidepressive.. that sends off more problems than healing..
Hi from Russia. Thank you for your story, I’ll be happy to watch your tips if they are on RUclips... I’ve been struggling with this disease for 9 years now, a lot of things seem familiar
Hi! Thank you so much for sharing! I will be uploading more videos on my RUclips about the different things that have helped me live with this disorder ☺️🙏 all the best to you! ☺️💪
