Has anybody ever told you something in your past didn't happen and that they were right because you have schizophrenia? Did the person make you out as to having no valid memory during psychosis? This seems to be an escape goat for abusive behavior. For example, I have been doing great for several years now but only because I got into a situation where my parents weren't ruling over my treatment. When I was in treatment where my parents were talking directly to the doctor and by passing me, I felt like I was in treatment to follow my parents rules and listen to them better. It was non stop arguing and getting bitched at when my parents were involved in my treatment and it was hell. Anytime I was doing bad that would be justification to call the police on me because apparently that was the only thing they could think of to do for me. Anyways the point is, now my Mom doesn't want to hear about my mental health treatment especially if it is about me struggling. But recently my Mom told me that I was never in a hospital I was forced to stay at for over a month, and my Mom insisted I was wrong when I said I was there and that she is right. I didn't talk to my sister for several years because she was so abusive I was on the verge of a mental breakdown. I talk to her now but if I ever bring up that time, she claims I was mentally ill then or that I am currently going through mania. I currently live a fake life pretending that I like to be around these family members when I really don't. The farther away the better. There is nothing like losing all credibility because you have a mental illness, to the point people think being in psychosis is like blacking out and that you don't feel emotions while in psychosis. As I get older I think, times are ok now but man it has been a long road of pure hell to get to this point.
