My two older sisters, ever since I was diagnosed with schizophrenia, never had any interest in understanding more about the condition. They think I’m cured of schizophrenia, because I’m not showing any symptoms. I tell them that I’m on medication for life, and they still don’t understand.
I barely talk to my older sisters. The sad part about me is that I barely have extended family left.
Anyone else in a similar situation?
I’m in a similar situation. I only have 1 younger brother. He really shows no interest in schizophrenia.
My brother and father show little interest in my SZA/bipolar disorder.
Whenever I bring it up they tell me that I’m being self centered
I have a older brother who is very supportive, his wife suffers from mental illness. My kids and other family could give a shitt about me.
My family is tolerant to a point. The have no interest in knowing about the condition as far as I know. Sometimes they approach me or treat me as if I am lazy. Some are more tolerant than others.
My family doesn’t fully understand it.
My dad calls my negatives being lazy.
My sister calls my positives entities.
My mom thinks I got it all figured out, not having to work.
NOt fully no. I dont think they really understand negatives. Probably have a better grasp of positives.
Not really
It’s pretty isolating in a way
Never kept contact with people I met at hospital
My family accepts my schizophrenia but not my bipolar disorder they think I’m “doing it for attention” I wouldn’t make myself look incredibly stupid for “attention” It pisses me off so much
They think I have depression as far as I am aware. I don’t mind, they were always understanding even if they don’t like to hear about schizophrenia a lot.
My parents are tired of it/ me. They dont listen to the adverse effects of meds. Just say take meds without hesitation.
Brother talks to me.
Sister doesn’t
