I'm my own person and don't want to be defined by a name for a bunch of symptoms or a name for a certain group of symptoms that are more likely categorized with a certain label.
If I want to stop the injection and my therapist is afraid because I have schizophrenia, that's not a good enough reason for me.
I'm realizing and starting to make enough sense in my mind, piecing everything together. I think the world is just too stupid. My IQ must be high if it's tested in some odd way... But I'm not narcissistic and say I could be stupid so people aren't jealous of me. People are always jealous of me. **** my step dad he really ****ed me up.

well I don't see it as being forced to be medicated your whole life. at least in the USA no one is forced unless the rare circumstance of having a guardianship and being involuntarily committed which even then is hard to accomplish
for me taking medications alleviate my symptoms that I find distressing and impede my ability to function in the ways that I want
