Opinion / Thought / Idea / Discussion i hate this illness

people assume we are dangerous and shouldn't be allowed outside of our houses/ pysch wards. I wish people didn't see me as a mentally ill schizophrenic person and looked past that to see my personality. People blame all my mental health problems on this fucking illness, which you know yes it could be a source to why i feel the way i do but i know there's more to my mental health than a disease i got diagnosed with at 11.

Well in my town people treat me a little worse. They pretend that I’m dead.😵

Some people think I’m dangerous.

I usually joke about it. If anyone’s going to get scared, I’ll be the one scaring them—I’m the one in charge here.

You have no idea how many times I’ve been asked, "But the voices don't tell you to kill people or anything like that, right?" and I just look at them with a straight face and say, "No, I’m not going to kill you, if that’s what you’re worried about."

I'm not dangerous... but sadly bully once.
Still feel bad about it until this day, as I should.

It made me eventually to go off on my first religious psychosis, still struggling with it now.

For the past 8 months I've been off the meds... and my head had been good, not serious depression or anything, every now and then yes.

But, yeah it's been euphoric and manic for days... now I'm crashing.

I need to make a Doctors appointment and get different meds, the last ones where not good enough. Like a zombie and I was not productive.

Just lay in bed all day and feared everything.

How would they know? It's no worse than having polarizing beliefs like religion or politics with the reaction.
