I am Ashamed...sort of

I used my SZ as a weapon today…Someone was harassing my GF while she was at work, I went to pick her up early so I could get something to eat, since the owner is awesome and lets the family of the waitstaff and cookstaff have an entrée free once a day (twice on Bdays).

Anyway, this guy was being rude, and WAY too gropy, even for someone at a bar/restaurant. He was not even drunk, so he didn’t have that excuse.

I walked over to him, after he had tried to ‘slapass’ a third time, just in the ten minutes I had been there, (and yes I walked, it was painful, but its hard to intimidate someone from a wheel chair) and told him he had three options.

Option 1. pay for his meal, and leave, no questions no complaints.

Option 2. Apologize, stop thinking with his, and finish his meal.

Option 3. Learn what it really means to be Schizo…

He looked at me, confused, and then he realized what I meant. He paid for his meal and left. He earned a little more in the lesson department and left a 25% tip…

I am slightly ashamed of this, SZ is not a weapon… it is an illness, and really I have always felt that using a mental illness against someone is like injecting people you don’t like with AIDs just because they pissed you off…

maybe it’s not so bad to teach people to be sensitive to those with sz.

so don’t be ashamed Dremulf.

I think you handled the situation perfectly. You have nothing to be ashamed of.

You did well. I’m amazed you could come up with all three “threats”. I would just come up with one or just leave myself. You are strong!

you would think after six months of dating a waitress I would get used to guys trying to feel her up all the time…

Well I don’t plan to any time soon…

I do feel somewhat proud of the fact I didn’t just get up and kick his teeth in…but I think the only reason I didn’t is because on some level I was aware of the fact I would not physically be able to…Before my accident, they would have been wheeling him out on a stretcher…

that’s so impressive. wish my boyfriend would do that for me. good job. I have told people to back off too because nobody really knows what we go through during psychosis. your girlfriend is very lucky.
