I agree. My psychiatrist tries to alleviate my guilt and self blame by telling me that I didn’t do this to myself but who knows? I don’t know.

My best friend’s gf asked him if my diagnosis meant I’d be a danger to them if I went off my meds.
He’s a pretty perceptive guy, so he told her that I wouldn’t hurt a fly, and that the only person there’s a slight risk I’d be a danger to is myself.

It isn’t that I’m a terrible person, but I do overthink every little negative character trait I have and am a huge critic of myself. People actually tell me I under estimate myself way too much…My anxiety will tear me down if I don’t start praying to God. I ask for the delivery from self pity, divorce me of all dishonesty, and self seeking motives. Then, pray for other people that pop in my head to make myself feel better. I pray for people who have upset me…this has helped in a big way…no meds and recovering from lack of understanding life and myself for 2 years now

I don’t get a lot of ugly comments, but I have had doctors act scared of me after finding out. It’s hard to described, but it was very real.

I went travelling over seas and told the people we were staying with in New York my diagnosis to break down stigma. They were shocked and started locking doors in the house.

Idk why but after the diagnosis I tended to be drawn to people with some kind of mental illness, even if I didn’t know they had one. So I’ve never been said anything ugly about mine.

My bipolar ex girlfriend broke up with me, I believe, because of my diagnosis. She was always paranoid that I was going to go off on a rampage and kill her. Her normie daughter encouraged this kind of thinking in her. Her daughter also thought that one fine day I was going to go off on a killing spree. Crazy people.
One time I was eating at chick fal lay(spelling) by my self. There was a couple eating at the table next to me. All the sudden he said the word schizophrenic and he raised his voice when he said that word. Maybe he could tell I had sz. It was terrible. He pretty much yelled that word. It seemed like he was directing towards me.

Someone tried to actively convince me I needed a lobotomy cause that was “the only cure for a schitzo” and I’m still pissed about it.
I’m not going to get into all the pranks and gaslighting that happened to me though so eh.

my teacher in one of my classes started treating me kind of weird, like a crazy dude. in the accommodation letter from the disability office it mentioned something like “this student requires a good environment” so he started playing calming music in class. he was sort of treating me like i was a ticking time bomb, ready to start murdering people at any time or something. it didn’t bother me though, he was kind of a funny guy anyway.

The worse thing I have heard from two guys. One when I got out of rehab said. You are a danger to society you need to be put away in a psych facility and the other once said you deserve all that is happening to you.

I’m surprised my teachers didn’t freak out on me! Right before I had to leave the EdD program, I sent out a picture of my arm slashed open. I had cut myself with the hunting knife I carried around because I was so frustrated with myself and felt like I deserved it. I sent the teachers the picture to explain why I couldn’t send in my homework- I was having a hard time mentally and needed to go to the hospital. They just acted like that was a normal occurrence. They really handled it well. I was given stitches and was hospitalized.
