I think that girl now knows that i may have some issues, i have contacted her through facebook and i am sure she has read about me explaining i have some issues, 
I dont think she will talk to me again even though i tried to reassure her idk what to do now tbh, i think i’ve blown it
Did she say something ? You said you had to reassure her.
it was pretty obvious, i am hoping she will try anyway but i doubt it i don’t blame her,
She changed her picture to a funny one and i tried joking with her but she didn’t respond so i sent her a message thinking she must have read the bit on my public page saying i suffer from a mental health problem.
It’s ok @asgoodasitgets it’s not your problem but hers.
There’s plenty of other fish out there!
Recently I told my childhood friend that I suffer with SZA, I haven’t heard from him since.
Stigma exists unfortunately.
@Wave it was 2 little words on one of my public posts 'like me’
i have since edited that post so that no-one else knows before i am comfortable with letting them know,
I am still hoping she can see past it, i told her it was in the past and that i am not mad, i said i was fine and trying to get a job and everything, it really sucks
why have you written about your mental health on Facebook?
I learnt the hard way not to tell anybody about my issues. Right now, I only say I have mild anxiety, in case anything shows.
If I was a normal person without much knowledge about mental illness, I would not talk to you. Sorry
Sorry,
But I have to agree with @mermaid1,
If I were out in the dating world and ran across a post about mental illness, then got a message from you explaining, I’d be out.
You have to keep those cards very close to your heart and not show anybody until the relationship is stable.
I hate that you were so excited and now feel disappointed and hurt,
However, its not the end.
There are tons of women out there to date, next time you’ll know how to better handle the situation.
i have since went through my whole timeline hiding things that may look bad on me, she has now accepted my friend request as well so hoping we can still try 
Hey man… you gotta let it go if it’s stressing you.
There will be another. Reflect on the good and successful moments of your endeavor.
Next time just maintain good character… and when you can tell she’s happy with you or if she’s curious and it comes up in convo… it is totally fine to let someone know you have schizophrenia. I do it all the time.
It’s more about character than content…
I don’t think I’d mention sz, it’s not something that I like to talk about except on here, she knows now anyway, well just that I’ve had mi, I don’t want her worrying anyway that I’m going to relapse every five minutes.
This is a little tug at the heart strings
Keep searching
Maybe she is mad you didn’t tell her sooner… Either way in this day and age sz is not as bad as it used to be. Downplay it and play up your other qualities…
I was just breaking the ice tbh, can’t be telling her that straight away, got to play it down, it’s not that I wouldn’t tell her,
just don’t want to come across as cruel either, we get to know each other really well then I drop the bombshell 
Got to play it cool, play it down and show that I am proper bf material, she’s got to know that I will not be a burden on her.
One problem with our disorders is that there is a lot that we feel we should hide in social situations especially concerning women. However I think it should be understood that the person you are trying to impress on Facebook will learn over time about your faults as she gets to know you. The stigma of schizophrenia can make it a socially unacceptable thing whenever you reveal it no matter when it happens. However take some solace in this. Many normies have someone in their family who is mentally ill and getting to know someone involves taking the risk they’ll be more understanding than you think they are. Unfortunately many will never have heard of schizophrenia. So putting yourself out there involves risk of rejection. And like it or not making true friends involves taking a large amount of that risk.
i cant just give up because of this, i need to keep trying, i am a hopeful person and i trust in the good things so hoping good things will happen, we are all good people, we deserve to be happy.
Little bit of advice, go into this thinking even if you just make a friendship, then that’s a really positive thing. Let things progress naturally and build a friendship first as there’s a good foundation to fall back on and it will see you into the future properly if that makes any sense lol
yes, thats a good idea, i was hoping to make friends and then see where it goes, don’t want to get friend zoned though lol
This is exactly one of the many reasons why I never talk about my illness to anyone outside of my mental health care team and this forum. It’s really nobody else’s dam business anyway. All they are going to do is judge you badly and unfairly for it. Why welcome stigma if you don’t have to?
yayyyy, she messaged me, she must still like me i guess
i said her funny pic made me laugh x
think i’m saying all the wrong things, second guessing myself 
Tell her my ‘sad coffee joke’…
She’ll probably like that!
