I’m not currently out of my mind because I’m on proper medication BUT I can certainly become CRAZY!!! when I’m not properly medicated!

The word crazy doesn’t bother me so much anymore.
Although the term is overused by normies.

I think I’m sensitive to words and phrases like that. Especially when used by people who know you have schizophrenia.

Terms like psycho and wacko bother me.
Especially if these terms are directed at me.

It doesn’t bother me when I use it to describe myself, or when someone else with psychosis uses it, but when people who have no experience with being “crazy,” it bothers me. It’s especially bothersome when someone uses it as an insult.

I guess I just don’t mind it so much. On the other hand, if someone saw me mumbling or doing that one tic I get sometimes and they called me the R word, I’d lose my cool. I have a few TD things that happen every so often, and if I have an episode while I’m in public I might start rocking or fidgeting.

Probably wouldn’t mind as long as they didn’t call me that one specific word.

I can think of a lot worse things to be called. Crazy is a whole lot better than boring.

I call myself crazy. It makes my counselor very upset. I’ve never been called crazy, so I don’t know how I would react if I was.

It doesn’t bug me lately, but it has in the past. I guess it depends on how the word is used.

I don’t really care. Doesn’t bother me. I try not to pay too much attention to what people say anyway.

No the word crazy doesn’t bother me. Mentally ill doesn’t bother me either. Depends how it’s said and when. I like my friends here better than my friends in RL. They suck. So ignorant about everything.
