I am so sick and tired of the stigma surrounding schizoaffective/schizophrenia it makes me so, so upset that I'm afraid to tell some of my family and friends because I don't know what their reaction would be, and how I almost have to hide my illness.

I follow a lot of mental health groups and pages on facebook, there are never any posts about schizoaffective disorder. Never. The stigma around depression and anxiety is always mentioned, which is great, but where is the recognition for psychosis? Bipolar is very rarely mentioned. Does anyone else feel very alone and like society isolates you? I'm sick of it.
