No, Not One.
I Usually Don’t Go Advertising My Condition, (Like The Movie Memento), Because Everyone In Thus Universe Is Going Through Something. Plus, Sympathy Gets You Nowhere. Sometimes Someone Will Ask To Bum A Cigarette. And I Give Like Three, (Like A Quiet Spiritual Message).
And I Know How To Hold It Together In Public.
To Be Honest, I Miss The World. It’s Like I Been In Solitary Confinement For 20 Years.
I Prayed. And Found Some Good Reasons To Stay On Thus Earth.
So No, No One “makes fun”, Of Me. At Least In Front Of Me.
I Have Discovered There Are People Who Like To Spread Rumours. Which Also Doesn’t Phase Me. Not Interested In Meaninglessness.

Not to my face anyway !
I don’t really exhibit any symptoms in public, but on one occasion I had my unusual beliefs mocked on the forum but someone who should’ve known better. Needless to say it was me who got suspended.
Only pdocs making fun of my weight gain. I don’t think anyone else has ever said anything, I feel people are too caught up in their own world to notice, when I was over medicated and couldn’t speak people told me I was “chill” lol.

Yes, I get made fun of. My symptoms are a joke and I personally don’t think it’s funny.
My ex boyfriend once said “oh tell it to your voices” when we were in a discussion about our kid

I have a friend who which upon every time we met would make a joke about me having been mentally ill and having been commited. Not in a sinister manner though. I used to laugh along with him. Got to have some self irony, but it started to get annoying because it was literally every time we met. So one time I just didn’t laugh or make no positive expression when he made the joke comment. I think he understood that it was a little bit funny the first times…but not anymore.
A funny guy I like at work said to me…
“Hey, Pat. When the football team is in the huddle on TV, do you think all of the players are talking about you?”
I burst out laughing! 
(He wasn’t far off.)

A former roommate whom I hold on high regard cos he’s very accomplished, professionally speaking, has recently said I should be doing more with my life. I was left speechless. His words showed ignorance and lack of empathy and I retorted: how many schizos do you know who work full time and don’t have suicidal thoughts? He quickly picked himself up and apologized…

He didn’t know what he was talking about. You should have dared him to take your meds for 1 week

Just my family but not other ppl bcz they can’t tell that I am schizo. I have no positive symptoms when on meds. My family make jokes about my past positive symptoms when I was unmedicated. One of my brothers asks me when will I be crucified bcz I thought I was Jesus. My parents make jokes of when I thought I was the next Hitler and went to Germany. Or of when I thought I was part of ISIS and a federal agent came to our house. My brothers told their friends about all those…
That was a bit insensitive from your brothers I think. What happens in the family should stay in the family, at least when it comes to sensitive information like that. It’s good that it’s in the past though and that your are stable now.

They had to know bcz I used to hang out with their friends and they were wondering what happened to me bcz I wasn’t contacting them or hanging out with my brothers anymore.
Slightly hilarious seeing how the same person who mocked my beliefs laments having his mocked by others. Hypocritical little shhit.
Yeah, I get that, but they didn’t need to go into detail. I’m sure they weren’t trying to be sinister though. It sounds like you have a good relationship with your brothers and that they help you. Probably just one of those heat of the moment comments that sometimes gets blurted out. I guess it’s not so bad if you also knew their friends as opposed to if they said it to someone you didn’t know.
