Perfect.


Also, exploiting a schizophrenic person who is prone to paranoia is a really ugly thing to do. Don't do it to me and then expect me to act like you did nothing.

Just because I have sz/sza does not mean you need to ask me if I've taken my meds all the time. Yes, I do take them. But regardless, it is none of your business unless you are a part of my treatment team.

I am entitled to feel angry when someone has wronged me just like anyone else on the planet, it doesn't mean I'm "agitated" and need to take another ****ing pill. I'm already a walking pharmacy.

I am entitled to feel what I feel without it automatically being written off as some kind of mood episode. Depression and hypo/mania both are far more than just certain emotions as anyone with sza, depression, or bipolar knows from experience. (Jury is out on whether or not I've experienced true mania, I am going to talk to my psychiatrist at length about it on Tuesday when I see her.)

I am entitled to be an extrovert, I don't isolate as much as many others do unless I'm really bad off, and I like people. No two people on the schizophrenia spectrum are alike.

I am entitled to not being exploited because I have an illness. It's happened to me far too often and it's getting really old.
