To broadcast or not to broadcast? When one faces the possibility of prejudice does one hide in the closet or wear it on ones sleeve? Honesty and understanding right from the outset breeds mutual respect amongst the worthy just in case the subject becomes unavoidable as it does sometimes. I own my schizophrenia, no one else, just me.

In all seriousness, I've wondered about that myself. I have acute depression and epilepsy that was diagnosed a couple of years ago after a lifetime of struggle. I was embarrased about it for awhile because of the stigma attached to mental illness. I've come to terms with it now but it still kinda makes me nervous about dating. Hell, its out there now so I guess we will both see what opinions come down this thread. Have been medicated since my diagnoses, would not even think of going a day with out them. I remember what it was like before, not goin there again. Yup it's a stigma thing for me too. If you have that whole deal under control, its really noones business, i wouldnt go broadcasting it until it was actually a factor. People dont show up going.. "I have hemmroids". Oh i'd NEVER date someone with hemorroids ;) |

Christian man right here. The church has a sense of community I've never found anywhere else. God is Love.

Please do get the help you need...my x husband has it too but is unmedicated...my life with him was horrible. So always understand you are easily treated but stay on the meds...and I do wish you the best. I'm well medicated and lead a very full life, currently studying for a degree in criminology and psychological studies, so nobody panic! |

Honestly, it wouldn't matter. We are talking a couple of dates. I think I would continue dating and see what would happen. Now if it doesn't work out, would you think it is because of this? None of my previous relationships finished because i have schizophrenia so no. But if it was the reason that someone finished things I would be quite hurt I think. |

I have schizophrenia and would really like some opinions on this. Say you met someone, went on a couple of dates and liked them, then they told you. How do you think you would react?

in answer to your question, in 1996 they were all taken to area 51 for experimentation. After the experiments had been performed they were inducted into the illuminatti which is such a secret underground organisation they are no longer able to show their faces.

I'm not married, not gay, women tell me I'm handsome. Oh and I'm also a good guy cos loads of people like me. I just worry the schizophrenia will put women off. We all have flaws..........
