I went to an Open Evening in a London university and I told a psychology lecturer that I have paranoid schizophrenia. I sort of wanted to experience here something and I did. She sort of froze a bit and told me that one need to be emotional stable in order to study. She doesn't know me, so came up with this. She then what ever I said, didn't liked. I said if I get back into uni, I will stay there for some years. I said I don't really know exactly which field I want to study.
I was so angry afterwards. Schizophrenia is a stigma, similar to being a bank robber, prostitute and terrorist. I work, I pay tax, I have an accountant and get high merits on some home study course lessons. Is all for nothing, as you are seen ill for ever. You can't call yourself being healthy.
And I had once therapy and the guy wanted just talk about schizophrenia. They get obsessed, you have to hide constantly. No one knows I have this and for what, when even a trained psychologist frowns, then what is the point.
