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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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

The fact that you're Schizophrenic would honestly make me want to hang out with you more. It's one of my favorite mental illnesses. I just wonder which form of it you are.

I find it slightly disturbing that you have a 'favourite' mental illness. They're not fashion statements you know.

36- Have you ever been affected by Schizophrenia? It's ******* awful. When I was in highschool I started dating a boy. Within a year, he was displaying a range of Schizophrenic behavior. He refused to get help, and I tried to make his parents get him help, but nobody stepped up. He would hear voices, suffered delusions, had severe paranoia, and started to see things that weren't there. It became hard, but I thought I could hold out. Then I moved in with him, which ended very, very badly. I had to leave him. He finally got help and a diagnosis, but he refuses to take any medication because he doesn't think he needs it and has moved back home with his parents. Not all Schizophrenic people are that severe, because many have very mild symptoms, and some are much worse, but that's how he was. There's nothing you should find comical or entertaining about other's mental illness.

I'm schizophrenic an I quite agree with the other replies. While I'd kill (not literally) to have a friend who understood what I go through on a daily basis, it's still a disease, and a horrible crippling one as well. It sucks

So many people on here deserve to get slapped I can't even comprehend it. The OP has a legitimate mental illness and its just one mock after the other. For shame FML community. For shame!!!!

Don't worry too much. Most people actually mean MPD when they say schyzophrenia anyway.

*DID--Dissociative Identity Disorder. How on earth would anyone confuse the two? Whaaaaaaaaat.

And MPD/DID doesn't make someone impossible to live with either. Even if they do mean DID, it's a illness like any other than can be contained and coped with.

I have a couple of family members with schizophrenia. People are stupid and don't think before they talk.

I gotta ask... are you even sure he was actually real?

Well, I guess the formerly cool stranger weeded him/herself out, based on ignorance...

Stay on your meds and just don't tell her.

Don t worry, just take your meds and always monitor your symptoms, and you Can live a normal life. And don't tell them if you become friends they don't need to know....
