My dad thought I was hallucinating when I lived with him years ago. At least 14 psychiatrists I’ve seen say I have schizophrenia. Two of my old pastors said I was crazy and ghosted me. A guy on Facebook told me I had schizophrenia even though I never said anything crazy to him. People at a mission I lived at like my case manager and other guys said I was crazy and people there called me serial killer.
It sucks and I think it’s messed up but there’s nothing I can do about it.
My boss at an old job i had asked in front of everyone if i was a serial killer. And that i have serial killer vibes. So i feel ya there. They didnt know i had mental health issues though. So they must have detected there was something up with me.
Hope you find some solace in these thoughts your worrying about.
Eat your meds or get it prescribed
Sorry about that @Ozzyskits. I think you look normal in your selfies.
I take meds @zoa
Thanks. I think its the blunted affect i usually have. Like when im not acting/pretending my face becomes expressionless and my voice is monotone. And i can seem pretty serious at times.
I’m like that too. My dad told me years ago I stopped smiling and laughing.
Well, what cracks me up is, none of us asked to have this illness. None of us wanted to develop this illness. So are we really that crazy? Ummm, NO!
While I innerstand the word itself Schizophrenic has a negative connotation, that doesn’t mean that we’re not people. We are people just like everyone else, our brains are just wired differently, but that doesn’t mean we are less than hueman, nor does it mean we should be treated less than hueman. I think a lot of it is due to not having enough education about this particular illness, the problem is, there are some people out there who wouldn’t want to be educated.
In other words, I feel like some people choose to be willfully ignorant.
Whenever I express myself emotionally because I feel confident and safe enough to do so as of late, I get gaslit as “crazy” - it does my head in
I hear you man, I hear ya!
I think that’s what’s happened to me too, @MisterApple. It’s frustrating.
