Do you know other sz in your day to day life?

I know my brother and a guy that lives where I work, then there’s a guy that goes to a support group I attended but he quit going. Everyone else there has other MI problems.

Everyone I know seems to have some type of mental issues, not necessarily schizophrenia but something similar.

Actually none with SZ…I know a bunch of schizoaffectives, a few bi-polars, and a few depressed/anxious.

I don’t know anyone with sz or sza. I don’t know anyone with a severe mental illness of any kind, not that I’m aware of, anyway.

Can’t say I know any fellow sz’s that I interact with on a daily basis.

There is a guy I see sometimes in my neighborhood who I think has sz (or something similar) but I don’t know for sure, I can’t diagnosis anyone since I’m by no means a professional.

I live in an assisted living facility for the mentally ill, so I’m surrounded by about forty other sz’s in my day to day world. It has its benefits, the main one being that I don’t feel like an outcast. It’s not a bad way for sz’s to live.

The last one was a sz that I met at the clinic I go to. I gave him a ride home.
