You never know, what you are experiencing right now could be a side effect of a medicine.

Yeah, I’ve been getting my meds from my primary so far. I have an appointment with a psychiatrist this thursday. But I still haven’t been officially diagnosed schizophrenic since I don’t seem to have the positive symptoms (have been taking supplements since early in my prodome to try and change my prognosis). My primary care doctor claims not to judge. But I know they are lowkey judging me. (the office that is, not my pd)

@Waffles Have you experienced the self stigma of this illness? If so, how have you dealt with it? Self stigma hang over my head everyday, and I don’t know how to cope with it.

You think so? Could be, i’m on 3 AP’s… It sucks, i still don’t get any relief.
@Gecko I hope it goes well. Remember I’m rooting for you and I’m sure Jinx is aswell! Well it seems like you are treating it early on before it gets worse so that is always good. I think you can cushion the impact of the schz if you notice it early. I think we are always being judged and we can’t do anything about it, you can choose to ignore it and it will still happen. So what is next you might ask? Just accepting it, atleast thats how i look at it yu kno.

Everyday. There are moments I can’t even function because of this horrid anxiety and some voices talking to me and i wonder when i talk back to them if people are staring and how crazy i must look. Or sometimes just my appearance.
Actually, I don’t know how to separate stigma and self stigma anymore. I think it has become one entity. I only experience self stigma since I’ve already internalized the stigma so much.

Oh wait… I think I’m experiencing solipsism. Cause of my self stigma, I attach that feeling to every person I see on the street, but I’m sure half of them don’t even notice me. Other people aren’t real. They are just part of my subconscious mind. Jk, they are real, but… idk where I was going with that.
Sorry, I’m a mess, trying to make sense of the world that seems to be inside out.

I’m really glad youre aware, but that doesn’t take away the pain you must feel. I do feel like no one is real in all honesty and can’t seem to shake it. I know they are i just follow what the drs and family say, but i know the truth about all of this reality bs ;C. LOL It’s ok my dude its all good. I think stigma is stigma and even if it’s from yourself it’s just as bad as stigma from somewhere else, we have to be kind to ourselves even though it might be tough, practicing a little self love goes a long way yu know?

I just wish the stigma with this illness didn’t exist. That would probably eliminate half my suffering. But unfortunately it is real, and I have to somehow cope with it.
