For all the neurotypicals that think its quirky and edgy, this is my reality living with schizophrenia

not bathing for weeks on end

Losing hours of your memory

Dissociating while driving and almost crashing your car

Hearing/Seeing things worse than any horror movie has shown you

Being utterly alone because everyone in your life has deemed you too difficult to be around

Forgetting to eat

Involuntary twitching/body positioning

Believing that you’re actually dead

Thinking the pictures on the wall are watching you

People fearing you as soon as you tell them you have schizophrenia

Intrusive thoughts about murder, crime and other unpleasant things

Believing a person/place doesn’t exist anymore or that they’ve been replaced by a double or clone.

Agressive narcissism

Believing you are a god

believing you are always being watched

believing you have inhuman powers

Believing that things not even remotely related to you are referencing you

Believing outside influences are controlling your actions (extraterrestrials, gods, etc.)

I could go on for hours, but this is just a sample. It’s not fun. We’re not a bunch of Harley Quinn’s. Quit being ignorant and educate yourself.
