I posted this in the schizophrenic forum because I'm schizoaffective, but maybe someone here can shed some light on this...

I have those crazy eyes where the whites are on top and pupil in middle, and flat affect. I take my medications and feel like they help me function normally, but think my crazy "look" is a barrier for me, to connect and fit into society, I am nice and calm, not shy but I think people are put off by my crazy "look".
Why is this "look" common trait with mentally ill people, not everyone has it, but I do and I hate it, it's even on my drivers license, that wide eyed stare.
I finally feel "normal" on medications most of the time, but don't look it in my face.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
