If I am at the gym or out in public. I wish I had a mask to cover my face. And something to cover my eyes.
I don’t like being recognized. Or speaking to anybody.
I just want to be a nobody. In the background.

I feel the same man… All of the delusions have made me feel Soo transparent and big in the world. I wish I could feel small again…just be me

That really resonates with me.
I wear dark glasses and bucket hats when in public. I usually only dress in black. And it is weird because I don’t consciously know why I do this - it is just general paranoia that I live with daily.

I live in a town of 14,500 and I am known now. I am that guy with a camera because a lot of people have seen my work on local social media and in local exhibitions. I am just used to it. Everyone is pleasant when they bump into me.

This is very relatable. I often wish I could just be overlooked.

I had my psychotic break in public. Cops came and drove me to the hospital. After that rumors spread. People say that “he’s psychotic”, “there’s that psychotic guy” etc.
I wish I was the guy who nobody knew. Now everyone knows me and they say demeaning things about me.
I isolate much!

Sounds like a nice community of people 
I don’t go back to my home town because everyone knows me as the schizophrenia guy, thanks to my ex-wife spreading it all over town. I hate my home town.

I feel no need to be around my contemporaries or peers because I lost over a decade to this illness and just don’t share the same life experiences and milestones as they do. I also avoid going out for the most part. I shop for food but that’s about it I’m mostly home.
I understand where your coming from, feeling like a live wire in public
