I have a cousin who I have heard on a few occasions refer to people she doesn't like as "schizos" which is just lovely for me to hear considering I am actually diagnosed with schizophrenia. She even said it about someone who abused a child. Like that was nice to be compared to. I wish I was strong enough to "come out" and set her straight but I'm not. I don't trust her to keep it to herself and my family all think I'm weird enough as it is.
