Especially if it’s high profile.
Normally I don’t post any of those stories, but maybe you should be aware of this one.

Yea we had several murders here by schizophrenics who stopped their meds, last one I read was last halloween night, he killed several ppl with a sword in the street. I dont read such news anymore as theyre disturbing so I am not up to date.

I don’t see why not to post it. Ignoring a problem and pretending that sz’s can’t potentially be dangerous doesn’t change the fact that they can be in some cases. I know that might offend some but it’s the truth.

I think there is stigma among schizophrenics themeselves.

It would be nice if they reported a story every once in a while about schizophrenics that have been at least somewhat successful or did something good in the community.
But there is a saying in the news industry “If it bleeds, it leads”. Unfortunately this story falls under that philosophy and makes us look like monsters.

This is why I don’t like myself. I’m just a murderer and because of that no one wants to love me.
I tried liking myself. That didn’t turn out well.

A sz killing some people is not a reflection on who you are @anon10648258 . You aren’t a murderer.
But that just shows how people don’t like people like me.
The world hates people like us. So I don’t see a reason why I must like myself.
If the world hates me, I must hate myself.
People are going to see this and talk about how worthless people like us are. That just shows how much people hate me.
So I don’t see a reason why I must like myself.
That’s like saying that people hate all Muslims because of 9/11. It just isn’t true. One individuals actions do not represent all of us. And most intelligent people will realize this.

People know that 9/11 was perpetrated by an extreme Islamist organization. But most people know that there isn’t an “extremist” schizophrenic organization. They just generalize that most schizophrenics are violent.
I know that people hate me…I’ve had enough of abuse and discrimination from childhood until now, even in my family. I know people hate me from top to bottom, and I am done loving myself because of my “abilities”. Because I’m just not worth it. I just cause problems to my family and friends and burden them.
To be honest, I really want to love myself but I don’t see a reason why I must love myself.
Because no one will love me…so I must not love myself. It invalidates whatever self-love I have.
The sz that go out and kill people ARE the extreme of sz’s. I think my comparison is valid.
I’m sorry you feel this way but your parents are putting you through school and paying your expenses so I’m pretty sure that they love you.
And I love ya @anon10648258 
Honestly I’ve never been violent but I wonder sometimes about how my brother could potentially get, he’s a lot bigger than me physically. Hopefully he never becomes violent. You have to be delusional enough not to understand the consequences, I mean who wants to go to jail forever or get the death penalty? Jail was undoubtedly the worst experience of my life by faaaaaaaar.

Yes, like normal people. But they say nothing about normal people killing people.
Just shows how people really hate disabled people…
I am also disabled, so people must hate me. (Double that with physical disability).
I’m tired, so tired. Hating myself seems like the norm. I don’t know how to love myself because I’ve never been taught. I just hate myself because I always hated myself for a long time.

I know. I wish we could break you out of that cycle laetitia. It’s hard to do on a forum like this though. It would take a lot of time to get you to the point.
I get violent verbally and physically off meds, I attacked my brothers bcz I thought they were stealing my life energy. Considering how I was off meds even with my extreme negative symptoms meds are like a miracle for me, they really saved my life and the life of others. Its why I am not stopping meds ever again.

My therapist said it would take 20 years for me to stop going into that cycle. PTSD isn’t easy to solve.

Yeah, it never makes the headlines that me and @shutterbug, @Joker, @LevelJ1 etc. hold down jobs. Or it is never in the news that lots of us are responsible people who don’t get into trouble.

I made the local paper last year for photographing Christmast light displays around town and sharing the images online for those who couldn’t get out to see them in person. That was my fifteen minutes of fame.

It’s also quite depressing when every freaking episode of “Criminal Minds” has a schizophrenic serial killer.
Gods, I hate that show.
People just love to hate an illness they don’t understand.
