what exactly is the most embarrassing thing about your ilness.

My family retreating from me socially and being afraid of me because of my diagnosis. Even laughing at the TV now with it being personal gets me told to eat antipsychotics. The people live in my computer and tv there to partake when I am innovative. Nowhere to be found when getting fed meds or at the doctor with them telling me its not possible. Delusion.

The meds put me in a state of incoherency basically and diminish my capacity to do much more than sleep. The depression from these side effects intense as I can watch my intellectual capacity slope downward. It sucks.

can i ask how old are you,if you dont mind.

i believe these problems get better with age maybe

just turned 36. I don’t know if aging makes a difference. Wish my family didn’t see me as a sick person for what seems certainly real. Tired of arguing it and fighting with it in my mind. How could these people if really live in my tv allow me to be medicated on these harsh drugs to the point of mental degradation. Everyone else insists they aren’t live so I get stuck with meds and people looking at me like I am sick because well, common consensus is that it is not possible. It makes me mad beyond belief and hate people that I admired. People that I loved and cherished their work I have grown to detest watching their material. It seems like it would be an efficiency to my pursuits and ambition but time can never be afforded so therefore I feel like I am just exposed and used in my home. Left to a life of despair on possibly the harshest medications known to man. I have to agree and take the meds or get shipped to a psych ward. Forced to agree that it is delusion. I hate my life.

I’m not embarrassed to have what I have whatever that maybe I get more embarrassed by some of the symptoms

I don´t anyone know that I was psychotic except for my very close family and doctors.

It makes me embarrassed, paranoid, along with my behavior and the way i deal with people isnt great.

I have nothing to be embarrassed about. I have a medical condition, I manage it well, and I contribute to society in spite of it. I take pride in that.

are you are patient or are you a doctor.sometimes i wonder if this website is run by doctors.

This website is not run by anyone. There are the moderators that keep a balance right through.

you look like a doctor to me

sorry i didnt mean to say that.im just a bit tired.

I guess I am as if I wasn’t I would disclose to people more often.

It might be more to do with stigma rather than being embarrassed, as I don’t want to, and don’t think I should be treated differently.
