i feel the same way. 99% of the time i wish i had some disfiguring physical illness instead of being schizoaffective. it seems people have a hard time sympathizing with you if you don't look physically ill or maimed.
"oh you got mauled by a tiger? i feel for you. let's set up a donation fund to pay for your medical bills."
"oh, you're schizophrenic? get away from me, psycho." and they back away like you've got the black plague.
