Hi, i am living with schizophrenia and would like to say something, first of all schizophrenics would like to be treated as people and not freaks of nature. i get tired of people assuming that because i have a mental disorder that i am stupid. i am not , just disgusted by ignorant individuals attitudes. also i was not born this way i had severe trauma in my divorce ten years ago from a transvestite and his actions put alot of stress in my life. there needs to be a change in todays society about people with mental disorders. the worst that happens is being hospitalized. i was hospitalized and watched a man get raped it was torture and when i tried to report it i wasnt taken serious because of my disorder. imagine listening to a grown man begging for mercy.. it haunts me in my memories some nights...the over all treatment of mentally handicapped people in todays society is terrible and nothing is done about it. i tried to work also to support my self but couldnt deal with the day to day torture of coworkers making fun of me because of my illness. i was a welder in an auto factory believe me people can be cruel when they find out something about you. i would also like to add that the medicine isnt worth a ****. i have been on all the different ones and it doesnt take the symptoms away it just numbs you like a robot. i am dating a man and his family just found out that i am on disability for a mental disorder and they are stopping at nothing to try and break us up. i am sorry to ramble on here but i am so disgusted with ignorant people. i over heard my boyfriends mother tell a member of his family that i was a dirty and stupid person because i wasnt well as she put it, it takes alot to be a welder in an auto factory. you have to learn how to fix ur equipment because ******** sabotage it on lunch and think its funny when they see the crazy person being burnt. ok ill slow down but today was a hard day for me and i see my shrink on thursday and i didnt have any one to talk to, i am afraid i dont have a caring family at all, so i guess i am starting to get discouraged, well if any one sees this post feel free to drop me a line i dont mind thanks for listening i apologize for my anger. i suppose god has a reason for all bad happenings in life....thanks cherie crazylady4666@yahoo.com that 4666 use to be my clock number at work i am not a devil worshipper i swear .....
