My family has been very shady and fake to me since I got diagnosed with schizophrenia. They leave me out on everything all the time now. I’m never included in gatherings or parties anymore. It hurts cause I didn’t ask to be schizophrenic.

I feel like my family does this too. I mean the problem is with them, because we can’t really help being sick. It’s like getting mad and purposely excluding a cancer patient.

@Cici2 that’s what frustrates me because schizophrenia is just as bad as cancer. It’s mental damage instead of physical. People don’t understand what we go through on a daily bases! If I had cancer I wouldn’t be treated this way!

I know it sucks. My brother actually told me he’s angry that I ended up with the worst kind of disorder. Before he knew what I had, he went out of his way to exclude me. He never invited me anywhere. He always got mad at me for acting"weird". My mom had a few talks with him about it and he still seems in denial.
That’s exactly how my sister is! My mom has had several talks with her and she still treats me bad. She thinks I need to grow up. Just makes my support circle smaller!

Yeah I barely have a support circle. If my brother one day decided to have nothing to do with me, I’d lose it. I had a pdoc in hospital when I was admitted tell me he sounds like he resents me. I broke down crying when he said that. Because not only were my voices saying he hates me, now my pdoc thinks so too. I got so angry I thought of actually hurting him. My mom begged me not to hurt him, but the voices we’re taking over. I couldn’t handle being hated. I calmed down after I got on meds.

My family is vice versa, they urge me to participate in gatherings but I prefer to be alone,

My voices are always telling me to hurt my sister. I ignore them but there are times I can’t handle it and so I remove myself away from her till I have control again. I just wish our siblings understood

There is no such thing as normal, sorry no one can ever achieve something that is made up.
Just be yourself, that’s good enough.

Being normal is not very attractive, and because of this difference you have nice and understanding friends here,

My family does this too. They also don’t like other family members asking questions about my so-called “depression”. My brother doesn’t know that I have schizophrenia either.
I feel like an outcast.

I’m sorry, I also always feel like the outcast. Like the black sheep of the family
