Does anybody feel like it’s hard for people to believe you just because you have SZ? Do they just think “oh his brain is making things up, don’t believe him” sort of thing?

It’s more like, “is he taking his meds” if credibility comes into question.

Yeah cops are bad for doing that
When they found out my Schiz diagnosis in the ER I lost all credibility with the doctors and staff there.
I was treated like a homeless drug addict.
Which I’m not.

Yeah nobody believes me because of the label. But god damn do people tell me to get a job a lot lmao.
I was doing the experiments with that college that some people have done here and they called my doctors office and told them I was suicidal and they scheduled an appointment with me that day. When I got in there the doctor asked me who called and they didn’t believe those people existed. I had to give them the phone number and contact information to prove they were real. Not only does that make me upset, but the constant “I don’t care” attitude I get from the doctor’s is starting to piss me off. I can be in the middle of telling him the answer to his question and they cut me off. Every pdoc does this, male or female.

If you have a history of making things up it’s probably harder for them to know what’s going on with you. Schizophrenics often need to re-establish a history of lucid behavior in order to get people to take what they say at face value.
Yes, this is true. Even my relatives are way too hard with me and dont believe me and the worse on this- they break my dreams…
Honestly. I used to worry about that but now I just don’t care what they say anymore. I am me. I know myself and I will be myself regardless of what anyone thinks

I’m sorry that theyre breaking your dreams. Whatever your dreams are go for them. Don’t let anyone break you down. They’re just jealous of your potential success!
