Today, I met someone really cool and their departing words were, for some odd reason, "We should totally be friends, I mean unless you're schizophrenic or something, haha!" I have schizophrenia. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I overcame my lack of social confidence and got a date for the first time in 10 or so years. After a while, my date admitted that she's a schizophrenic with dissociative identity disorder. I guess it's back to being single. FML
Today, I was talking to people around school to make new friends. I met an amazing guy and we really hit it off. He was fantastic in every way, but decided to end our conversation with, "We shall meet in the afterlife!" I don't know if I should be scared or not. FML
Today, my psychiatrist said, "Well, good luck." at the end of my appointment. FML
Today, I met the family of the guy I’m seeing, and they are all amazing. I’m scared to tell him I have a schizophrenic mum and a raging alcoholic dad. FML
Today, I was trying to make a good impression with my fiancé's friends. After a few hours, I thought all was going well. As I walked to the washroom, I heard, "So what disability does she have? No one can be like that without something wrong in their brain." FML
Today, I met my new college room-mate. He then introduced me to his imaginary friend. FML
Today, I went to a friend's sweet sixteen. Since I didn't know any else at the party I was really happy when the mother told me she sat me next to someone she thought I would have a lot in common with. He ended up being mentally challenged and talked to a sock puppet the whole party. FML
Today, I was waiting for my girlfriend, I wanted to have a serious talk about her hypochondria. She called to cancel because she was (self) diagnosed with some sort of 'neurological disorder'. FML
Today, I was alone in my dorm room rehearsing comments to make in my writing class tomorrow. I grew up with a severe stutter, and rehearsing like this is one of the ways I keep my speech under control. What I didn't plan on was my roommate walking in. I think she now thinks I'm schizophrenic. FML
Today, I met a cute guy for coffee. Everything was going fine, right up until he started telling me about his alien encounters and super psychic powers. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

People are so ignorant about mental disorders. They assume that if you have DID, schizophrenia, bi-polar, etc. that you're automatically "Crazy." Sorry to hear that OP. I concur with the odd departing words as well. Who says that? lol

I'm sure he's just making a failed attempt at a joke

Take the opportunity to educate this person about your condition. It's very unlikely that they would have made that joke if they actually suspected that you were schizophrenic, so you can cite yourself as an example of how stereotypes about the disease are not always accurate. Many people don't realize that individuals with schizophrenia can live relatively functional and productive lives when the disease is managed.

That's so racist!!! By the way, most people think schizophrenia is multiple personality disorder. If you are just one person, stay on your meds and don't mention it to your new, bigoted friend.

Yeah, It would be quite wrong to offend the schizophrenic race!
Dilwann 27
Indeed. I believe you meant to say 'discriminating'.

perdix 31
#30, yes, I was satirizing people who use "racist" to mean all kinds of "prejudiced."

"I'm so happy cause today I found my friends -- they're in my head" ***Don't make the others jealous by making any new friends!

Schyzophrenia is a mental condition. It includes both halves of your brain not to cooperate, resulting in drawing absurd conclusions. A famous example is a case where somebody suffering from schyzophrenia noticed a dog crossing the street, and was 100% sure this meant that the world was to be destroyed soon. Schyzophrenia is often comfused with MPD (Multiple Personalities Disorder), a condition where you hear voices and see people that aren't there, think you're two people, or switch between two personalities.

@42 switching in personality's actually isn't a legit disorder (yet). It has not been proven real, at least not in the cliché way of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
