im not very talkative about my schizophrenia because i dont want to be taken advantage of, or misunderstood more than i already am on a daily basis (Along with my autism aswell). but goddamn do better about people with it, yknow? shouldnt be so hard to ask that of people.

#everyday i am reminded how much stigma goes along with it and i just get even quieter #i handle it alone bc obviously i have to. but the stigma makes it harder to get help or understanding #especially after someone knows you have it #they use it against you MORE even with things that arent even related to the mental illness whatsoever #just day to day things they use it against you.#its horrible and make the illness worse. treat ppl with schizophrenia like people #i had childhood onset schizophrenia. like i had symptms back as far as 5 yrs old #i was only able to have access to some helps in my teens and got diagnosed
