What are the benefits to telling people you are schizophrenic?

I was diagnosed recently after /r9k/ made me consider I should see a psychiatrist. Diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia. Apparently I'm not just a social retarded shy faggot. feels good to have some blame removed.

I've never had a job. What does the government give people like me in terms of welfare/free shit? If poor niggers get money, im sure schizophrenics get some help....anyone have details

what about if i tell my school? will they kick me out? i dont want to be seen as a possible school shooter. but there is a disability department. what kind of stuff would they do if i told them I was schizo? what about my professors? what would they do if i told them im schizo? classmates?

only me and my mom know right know. so i dont know how people ract.

help pls. can people tell me how others reacted when you told them?

also, do any of you med or psych fags know the science behind why schizophrenics social skills deteriorate? i can't talk as well as before, can't hold conversations, cant relate to people, and just became socially retarded in general as soon as the symptoms and fear hit. The social skills didn't come back with meds, even if the other symptoms went away. nothing seems to help with that....

Here in /sci/ we don't have much experience with schizophrenia, try asking /x/ and perhaps /lit/ or /pol/
We specialise to autism, but you could ask EK, she has at least some personal experience with schizophrenia.

In the US, it is incredibly difficult to get social security for disability, whether for mental illness of physical. They will reflexively deny all claims for the first year. If you're living on your own, that can be expensive enough to keep you out of it.

How does the process work? I live with family

>> No.5510283

>>5510271
Typically, you apply with a bunch of documentation from your various doctors and such. Then they'll deny the claim. Then you have to press them on the issue for at least a year. Then they'll have you resubmit documentation. Then they send someone out to interview you and in your case your family. Then they'll give you enough money to eat and see a movie in the theater once a week.

agreed

growing up in a house located on what used to be a Baptist cemetery before it was relocated made me schizophrenic. schizophrenic like the doctor said or maybe I was right and I am just the subject to a cruel joke which tore out a compassionate heart and replaced it with the hellfire of a 1000 pre-demons

suicide seemed like a good idea when i was 12 but now i just want to wait out my time in the hopes that souls exist and i can fly myself to a black-hole ...... nonexistance ...... the thought of it is the only way i can get through the day

its pretty bleak living life like that. i have been on disability for a number of years and it has hurt more than helped. the social stigma alone can be paralyzing should you ever want to come up for a bit of air. even in treatment ive felt dehumanized. it can get very scary.

I was a 4.5 GPA kid in HS.

Once Schizo hit I got dumb for some reason. memory got worse, cant focus, hard to speak right. I sound retarded trying to read in front of the class.
Feels bad.

I guess im doing good for a schizo, 90% can't even do a minimum wage job. Meh.

follow your strengths and DO NOT push yourself very hard

one thing that helped me was meditating and learning and pushing yourself to focus. focus. focus. focus. and realize shit will get fucked up - just brush it off and keep going. there has to be a job that you will be good at a college route might not be good - fuck it isnt even very good for many grads

Don't tell your friends, they don't need to know.

Tell your university. It won't be a bad thing. They will give you more time on tests and other neat benefits. It is the law. You will need to tell each of your professors individually. They will also probably give you unlimited extensions on homework of you claim you were having an "episode."

If you have schizophrenia, you deserve a break from harsh deadlines. Seriously.

Just go and study arts – they're all schizophrenics/bipolars in the arts, but people give them a break for being "artists".

Same for science and autism.
