Thats right when my life started to fall apart and I gave up on everything. Now I was recently diagnosed with an auto-immune condition that can cause major brain changes.

Not trying to brag but I was a really bright kid, always top of the class. I even went to an International Baccalaureate high school and was on track to be valedictorian until my problems started. I could have went to Harvard but now Im a homeless schizophrenic alcoholic. Life is weird.

Sincerely,

About to blow out the flame

I guess I cant say for sure if the disease is the cause, but it matches up timeline wise.

Thanks man. Im just going to have a shitty, hard life probably living on the streets. And I dont really have other options. But I cant see myself committing suicide, Im too scared to pull the trigger, and worried about fucking it up and becoming a vegetable or paraplegic or some such (sorry, kind of gruesome talk).

It's really sad that this happens to people. I think that a lot of the time, whatever it is goes undiagnosed for so long that by the time they get it figured out the damage is done and it's completely life-ruining. How different would your life have been if they could have found it earlier and started treatment right away?

Hopefully you can still turn it around somehow. Get yourself some assistance, rent an apartment, maybe get some PT employment to give your life a bit of purpose and direction. It won't be easy by any means but it can be done. Baby steps.

Actually its HIV which idk if I can call that a brain disease but it is supposed to cause major brain damage/changes and it makes sense time-wise.

I was sick with different stuff over the last year, like a skin infection and a cough, then recently my chest was in so much pain when I tried to eat (or swallow) anything that I ended up in the hospital. My lungs had cavities in them and my esophagus had fungus/perforations.

Idk why my family doctor never gave me an HIV test over the years, I hear they are pretty standard.

I just mean it was a respectable high school (best in my city). My family legit thought I could go Ivy League.

Crazy, right? Your blood cell levels (T-cells or something, I forget) are normally at 500-2,000 in a healthy person.

I thought they were using a different scale when they told me my cell count: 4

You can literally live a completely normal life with HIV if you get on medications and are consistent with them.

Im already on the meds and everything (Biktarvy). Yeah at first they called it HIV but the doctor was saying its basically the same thing, AIDS is just progressed HIV basically.

Actually they say with meds you can reach a point where you no longer can infect anybody, which is cool.

Im more concerned with my mental though, and how much its declined over the last decade. I saw a psychiatrist in the hospital but they havent followed up.

Isn't there also medication for HIV that prevents you from being able to spread it? I've heard it referred to as prep.

Also, to TC, any idea how you go infected with HIV?

youll be ok man. being a bi man, hiv/aids is always something i worry about.

luckily the times we live in it isnt nearly as stigmatized as it used to be and it is way more treatable.

but do you have somewhere to stay?

Yup once my cell count gets back up I wont be able to infect anyone which is cool.

No, its crazy because if Ive had it for this long I would have gotten it from the girl I lost my virginity to and she was no slut though I know that doesnt make you safe necessarily.

Ive had way more dangerous sexual encounters since then, but also at 15 I did start working at a public pool that was pretty ghetto and people would be having sex in the pool and such so idk.

Good point, Im glad I wasnt born in the 60s. I do for the next few months, after that Im not sure but the AIDS resource center in my town does offer help with finding housing.

My mental issues make it pretty likely I end up homeless whenever Im not being virtually entirely supported by family though, and they are rapidly dying.

im realy glad to hear you have somewhere to stay for now.
there probably are services that can help people in your situation but honestly i would be clueless on the subject.
just stay strong homie :3!!!
also try to lay off the booze man it will probably do more damage to you than the aids tbh

Oh yeah booze is like heroin for an alcoholic. Also my new meds are supposed to weaken my liver so I need to quit sooner than later but I should probably be in treatment. Fuck though, everything costs so much money and I have none.

I wish our society would be more honest and just kill me.

AIDS is a syndrome generally defined as either the presence of an opportunistic infection (Pneumocystis pneumonia, etc) or a CD4 count less than 200.

HIV is the virus that reduces your CD4 count. AIDS is the cluster of illnesses one can develop secondary to the immunosuppression.
