I feel that way a LOT! I feel like since I'm a 'crazy' nothing I ever say is considered valid. Everything is blown off, no one takes me seriously. It makes me so angry. I want to scream, I'm mentally ill, but that doesn't mean I'm an idiot!
Wild flower - that's exactly like the religion I grew up in, which is why I ran for my life after graduation! There was a shooting in my town recently and I was told that it was God's will. WTF?! I sarcastically say that I'll go off my meds, then come to church and ask them to help me get saved. Good luck with that cuz they'll end up calling the police to just get me out of the building. At least they'd get a good show....
Sadly when my dad became psychotic, the first thing that happened was God sending him bizarre messages like trying to run for President of the US. Then I get the phone calls like, You have to help me get him into the hospital, etc.
