Today, I met someone really cool and their departing words were, for some odd reason, "We should totally be friends, I mean unless you're schizophrenic or something, haha!" I have schizophrenia. FML

People are so ignorant about mental disorders. They assume that if you have DID, schizophrenia, bi-polar, etc. that you're automatically "Crazy." Sorry to hear that OP. I concur with the odd departing words as well. Who says that? lol

I find it slightly disturbing that you have a 'favourite' mental illness. They're not fashion statements you know.

36- Have you ever been affected by Schizophrenia? It's ******* awful. When I was in highschool I started dating a boy. Within a year, he was displaying a range of Schizophrenic behavior. He refused to get help, and I tried to make his parents get him help, but nobody stepped up. He would hear voices, suffered delusions, had severe paranoia, and started to see things that weren't there. It became hard, but I thought I could hold out. Then I moved in with him, which ended very, very badly. I had to leave him. He finally got help and a diagnosis, but he refuses to take any medication because he doesn't think he needs it and has moved back home with his parents. Not all Schizophrenic people are that severe, because many have very mild symptoms, and some are much worse, but that's how he was. There's nothing you should find comical or entertaining about other's mental illness.

I'm schizophrenic an I quite agree with the other replies. While I'd kill (not literally) to have a friend who understood what I go through on a daily basis, it's still a disease, and a horrible crippling one as well. It sucks

So many people on here deserve to get slapped I can't even comprehend it. The OP has a legitimate mental illness and its just one mock after the other. For shame FML community. For shame!!!!

Don't worry too much. Most people actually mean MPD when they say schyzophrenia anyway.

*DID--Dissociative Identity Disorder. How on earth would anyone confuse the two? Whaaaaaaaaat.

And MPD/DID doesn't make someone impossible to live with either. Even if they do mean DID, it's a illness like any other than can be contained and coped with.

I have a couple of family members with schizophrenia. People are stupid and don't think before they talk.

Well, I guess the formerly cool stranger weeded him/herself out, based on ignorance...

Don t worry, just take your meds and always monitor your symptoms, and you Can live a normal life. And don't tell them if you become friends they don't need to know....
