It’s not a joke.

It’s not the flu

I agree, it is a pretty disabling condition to have.

I’m saying how severe sz can be.

Maybe you have it mild now but

It can become wild

All I do is sleep and eat. Freaking cracked brain.

The thing is. If someone asked me, do you want to start doing more things and have more fun? I would say no. It would be too stressful.

Perhaps people are too scared of the stigma. I mean,the ■■■■-stamp of mental illness is an additional burden on top of the actual illness itself. And it is really isolating, kind of double the burden really. And to be cynical about it, maybe people like to have someone to kick, isolate and point fingers at.

Its not always the illness that buggers me up, ive had it for 20 years, so know when to medicate properly.

Its the stigma of schizophrenia. People judging you like you keep an axe in your back pocket and are violent. And people steering there kids away from you, cos they see you.

Thats what does my head in. And then the nursing teams wonder why i get paranoid.

SZ isn’t done knocking my dick in the dirt, but I’m not done punching it in the face, either.

Always fight back.
