I'm a diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia and have been for 5 years now. I feel horrible because I can't tell people about it without them thinking i'm violent or disgusting. I can't make friends because of it. I can't lie to them either because my case is severe and its better to let them know instead of totally freaking them out you know? I'm so extremely tired of this shit. Not even psych nurses are caring and nice.
