Today, I've finally gathered the courage to tell someone I have schizophrenia. My ex-friends found about it and decided to make fun of me for it by saying that "maybe I have an attention seeking disorder too" and spreading it among our peers. FML

Hey I just wanted to tell you that you will find friends and people who will like and love you for you. I know finding that courage to tell someone was hard and I hope you can find it again someday. Not everyone will be a jerk like that. Some people will actually take the time to understand and learn.

Never let someone bring you down or treat you without respect because of your mental differences. Schizophrenia does not make you any less deserving of acceptance/kindness/compassion/respect. If you ex-friends and peers can't understand that then they are poor examples of proper human beings. You to out there and you be you. These people aren't worth the air they breath and their opinions of you are worth even less.

If they spread it around at school or work, report them to HR for not only spreading your medical info, but mocking a mental illness and contributing to a hostile work environment.

**** them. My friends and I get along so well because we all have mental illnesses and understand each other, and it's a whole lot less stressful that way.

I'm so sorry that happened to you. I'm mentally ill as well and some people are still so damn ignorant about it. There are people out there who will understand and support you. I hope you find them soon and I wish you all the best. Take care, ok?

Those ex friends sound like horrible people...I think though that they are the ones with the attention seeking disorder (even though that term doesn’t actually exist as far as I’m aware),...AKA “attention ******”...I think maybe you meant ADD (attention deficit disorder)?

tbh i don't really get the idea of telling people you have some sort of mental disorder, period. like, its none of their ******* business, really. even if they are your friend. if it comes up, sure, or if they go "hey, why the **** do you do x", but just like busting out with it with no prompting, not connected to anything does seem... odd.

shut the hell up it's nothing like telling someone for no reason you clearly don't know anything
