need some advice....
    #7748172 - 12/12/07 07:00 AM (16 years, 1 month ago)

I've recently been diagnosed with schizophrenia but my parents don't know anything about me having mental illness.

The psychiatrist recommended thinking about telling my parents.....

I don't really want to. I feel uncomfortable telling them, i don't think they'll understand, they live off the media mostly and seem kinda ignorant.
But the psychiatrist said it might be better telling them so I'm not keeping it a secret and so they can help. I don't see how they could help me. I'm 19 a live with my parents but I'm not very close to them so i don't feel like telling them.

I don't want to cause anyone any worry or distress, it's like everyone will be like"OMG Schizophrenia" cause the fucking media exaggerates everything and adds some lies into it for good measure.
None of my friends know either.

most of my problems aren't will the illness, it's with peoples ignorant attitudes towards mental health.

I don't want people to look at me and think about schizophrenia, peoples perception of me will change, i don't want people to be like"have you took your meds" or trying to help me, i don't want to be treated like a fucking idiot, I'm still the same person, i just have a few problems.

What do you think?
i don't know i might have just been ranting.

I think that you shouldn't do anything that you're feeling uncomfortable with.
What you need right now in your life is as much balance and peace as possible. And from what I understand, telling your parents will turn into one more stress matter for you.
I wish you the best. :heart:

All this time I've loved you
And never known your face
All this time I've missed you
And searched this human race
Here is true peace
Here my heart knows calm
Safe in your soul
Bathed in your sighs

beneath,

what is schizophrenia like? I've never actually met a true schizophrenic.

I personally would not tell my parents. They're pretty ignorant and immersed in the media culture as well. I'm sure they would be calling me up constantly to make sure I was taking my meds and that I wasn't trying to kill myself.
