Have you noticed people are afraid of you when they find out you have sz? What do they think I’m going to do? If only they knew how very vulnerable I really am. Maybe it’s better this way so I don’t get taken advantage of. I don’t know what do you think?

Hey you’re back. I was wondering where you’ve been.
Yes I would not be surprised tbh if some people may be curious of what I might do. Sometimes I wonder the same about some other people but it’s just a wonder. Usually it feels OK.

If they are scared of me and don’t want to talk to me, that is a win for me because I most likely don’t want to talk to them either.

Hi honey, I’ve been here, I’ve just been reading, not a lot to say. It’s nice to see you though. I hope you are well.

I had my diagnosis before my nieces and nephews were born.
Some of them, based upon the diagnosis, don’t trust me. It hurts.

Hi Leaf, Ive been good thanks 
Though I had psychotic relapse recently.
So bit raw in my mental state.
How have you been.
I’ve been shopping a lot recently for stuffs. Haven’t done that in a long time so felt I owed it to myself

oooh SHOPPING!! fun. I love it when I can do that. I’ve been just kinda hanging in there. You know winter isn’t exactly the best time of year for me. But it’s not the worst winter ever, just kinda blah, you know? But I’m already ready for spring. I snowed last night and i thought well there it is, now it’s gonna suck forever lol, I’m so melodramatic. lol. Oh and I’m sorry about your relapse. I hope you’re on the road to recovery.

Yeah. I wonder how my nieces will view me when they’re older and understand schizophrenia.

I never have social interactions with the general public so there is really nobody to tell.
I’m part of a large family though and all of them know. I’ve never discussed it with any of them, but they’re all nice to me.

I don’t think they are afraid of me but when people find out about my sza dx, they will usually treat me like a child or treat me as if I was some sort of idiot.

I’d be happy if they were! I think most think I’m friendly and harmless. I do like to talk and that puts most people on side. A bit of fear! I could live with that!

Not a lot of people really know what’s going on with me and those who do wouldn’t be afraid of me.

I really don’t tell people I have schizophrenia and you can’t tell I have it by the way I walk or when I talk. This past year I think people can tell l something is “off” with me but no one seems afraid and I’m sure no one can guess my diagnosis.

They might just be afraid of the fact they glanced at you cause they ain’t actually looking to offend.
