Everyone I’ve ever dated immediately stopped talking to me after I told them, with the exception of my husband. I’ve never had trouble with friends or coworkers, though.
Internalized stigmatization when I take the bus for my supported enterprise full of disabled psychotics : A diffuse feeling of abnormality. Or when pdoc or social worker talking to me like a duff child. Things like that.
I experienced stigma at my workplace.
And this was with a Bipolar Diagnosis.
I surely would have been thrown out if they knew about my Schizoaffective DX.
When sandy hook happened someone online said “When I heard the news happened in Connecticut, I thought it must have been @goyankees who shot up the school”
Ya…then the next 6 months were hell people scared of me because I was mentally ill and my area had just been rampaged by some unmedicated maniac.
Now I wrote a song about it.
