Actually, save the schizophrenia drop for when you go on the show “90 day fiancé” 
That’ll be a real plot twist

. from what I know about both disorders
these labels can be equally scary:
. under the influence of “hallucination-based” delusions
one might seek vengeance on persons for reasons that are false;
but in mania one may do the same act of vengeance
simply because one feels so confident about
any impulse that comes to mind.
. the “verbal finesse” I chose was to focus on
particular symptoms rather than the diagnosis:
. the honest reason I was diagnosed with sz
is that I believed a spirit like the god or devil
was using telepathy to gossip about me;
and, my proof was that strangers mentioned to me
things about my past or my current thoughts
that only telepathy would give them access to.
. any proof of telepathy is seen as proof of hallucination
so I am treated with antipsychotics;
but notice that the drugs for sz don’t always control hallucinations;
rather, they reduce emotions and aggressive impulses;
and emotional control is what I get from my sz med.
(I feel very paranoid and anxious without geodon).
It’s not just a matter of telling your potential boyfriend or girlfriend you have schizophrenia, it’s a matter of when. If it’s a serious relationship then they are going to find out eventually at some point. Look at it from the other person’s perspective; the timing of when you reveal the news is always going to be between the both of you, how is that person going to feel about the way you tell them and when you told them? If you go too long without telling them he or she is going to remember that and it might affect the relationship in the future. You want them to understand it’s a hard thing to tell someone but you don’t want them feeling majorly deceived or misled.

My method for revealing my sza to my partners is waiting for enough time for them to know me and that I’m not dangerous. I usually give it a month, depending on how much we have talked and how many dates we’ve been on.
I used to tell people straight away and the results were wild. Not just people being afraid, but I’ve had people try to convince me that I’m not actually hearing hallucinations but can read people’s minds or hear prayers.
I’m also vetting the person to see if disclosure is good or if I should move on. If you are presentable, and stable then generally it’s something that people will look passed. With that being said, I never go into too much detail about what I experience when I’m having an episode. It’s a need to know basis kind of thing for me.
