I suffer from Schizoaffective disorder and have been seeing doctors regularly for eleven years now. This illness is a combination of Schizophrenia and Bipolar type 1.

I have always suffered from hallucinations, manic and depressive episodes. It was at my lowest point in life that one of my friends told me RuneScape had returned. Before this I had been in and out of normal hospital and psych wards constantly. The weird thing? As soon as I started playing I just started getting better mentally. I was at the highest functioning I had been since being diagnosed.

Then things went down hill quick, my fiance left me, I lost everything that mattered to me in life. I ended up in hospital again after having a bad breakdown and attempting.

What happened this time was completely different to the times I just gave up on life. I left the hospital and immediately jumped on OSRS.. and I started getting better. For the first time in my life I could control the schizo symptoms.

Then something amazing happened, that gave me the motivation to keep going on. Jagex sent me signed concept inferno art when I was sick. To me it is my most prized possession.

I haven't had any other attempts since this, I've managed too complete two courses since and got my first and second jobs in my life.

Thank you Jagex for giving me the will to live, and from saving my family from the tragedy of losing me. Thank you for making a game that allowed me to manage the constant suffering of schizophrenia. Thank you for sending me the art, Thank you for showing you care.

I have spent over $3500 in bonds trying to support the game to say thank you.

This game literally saved my life and now I want to help others. I know a lot of people struggle. I am going to be leaving my friends chat as on permanently for anyone who needs someone to talk to. I know I can't be the only one suffering. I will exp waste 12 hours day if I can help someone else through a bad day. My private chat is always set to public, I enjoy helping new players.

Brilliant, but although this game helped you stay alive, don't steer away from the fact that you yourself played some part in this, yes sure Runescape may have gave you the meaning to be here each day but please don't let this game feel like the reason, yes sure it played a part and probably helped but as a person you are far stronger than you think and while it may seem like this game saved your life, the real reason you are alive today is because of the strength you have inside of you and the will to live, believe in these things and try to remember that no matter how alone you may feel, there is always a mother, father, brother, sister, cousin or friend that will be there for you 100% that you maybe can't see right now but believe me, that person is there just waiting to listen and have your back.

Everyone has someone waiting to listen, that person will not know it but will be there the minute they are needed, you may not know that person is there but they will be as soon as you need them.

Stay safe my friend and if you need someone to speak to, pm me.

Much love

Scouse - C'mon Jagex, love us like we love you. [qfc id=]whatever[/qfc]

You might be a targeted individual and there may be a cowardly organization that's experimenting on you. All the things that are happening to you could be caused by direct energy weapons, haarp, remote neural monitoring. If I was you I'd move to a safer country.

H M P 1 2,

People with some mental disabilities may very well believe the nonsense you posted.
Its not even funny that you wrote it. As it might mess with someones mind in a
very negative way.

Ever heard the saying.. think before you talk.

How about you.. .think before you type The richest person is not who has the most. It is who Needs the least.

H M P 1 2 I know the Runescape community can be hit or miss sometimes, but please don't say such things on a post like this. You're within your right to free speech but saying something like this on a post that after me finally getting the courage to out my illness, even if only to the online is just an unfortunate reaction to have seen.

Can you please consider in the future when dealing with people with mental health, please try and understand them and not say things that could trigger illnesses to become worse.

To be real if it wasn't for Ladyolakes response, I probably wouldn't of been able to reationalize this.

This is my way of coping and I just wanted to post that I have been helped, and I really thank everyone who has left positive comments.

For someone that doesn't really have any friends IRL it means a lot to see people take the time to post such nice things. Thank you! My private chat is always set to public, I enjoy helping new players. Message me!
