My first episode i wanted my wife to Stay with someone else because i didn’t know what i would do. So i think i bought into sz are dangerous stigma. Think I’m over it now but might not want her around when things get bad because i know how my delusions stress her. What’s your stigma , if you don’t mind.
Does self stigma mean you believe something about the illness as it pertains to you, but it is untrue?
I struggle with self acceptance a lot
unfortunately yes.
i don’t know what i should expect of myself. no clue about limits,
My sister “suffers” depression. I used the term suffers in inverted commas because I think she has bpd and not depression and doesn’t suffer anything about anything.
She calls her antidepressant “nutso pills”. Pisses me off. What must she think of my antipsychotics?

Believing that I’m just socially dysfunctional and inferior and don’t have a genuine illness.

I think at some point we all struggle with some type social issues even some really cool norms surprise us and come out about their struggles. The fact is we are all made by the same creator so we all have equal worth. We really have little control over who we are. So no one should boast or feel belittled. But we can make small steps to improve our state of mind. Sz makes this a bigger struggle and we all probably have believed we weren’t sick. Stay strong.
When I first got my diagnosis I was shell shocked I tried to find a cure I thought that CBT was going to FIX me.
I feel like I am recovering somewhat socially emotionally but I still have that can’t do attitude. LOL

Firemonkey-- yes, you are right on. Who could believe that being so socially uncomfortable could be due to a real disease? But it is. Anyone who has dealt with the population of us will tell you it is true.
