I recently got diagnosed with schizophrenia and at first I was taking it well and now it's kinda hit me. It's made my suicidal ideations flare up again because the thought of living with such a debilitating illness makes me sick.Β

So you've been diagnosed with schizophrenia hm. Well that's a really serious struggle. I'm sorry man, look you're not crazy or anything. Just remember that.
Care to talk a little about how it is for you? What makes you think and that. I'm sorry if this sounds so ignorant: Do you hear voices? I've heard that there is quite a lot of different things about schizophrenia.
Overall, how does it affects you?

I mainly suffer from auditory hallucinations as well as thoughts that people are out to get me. I have yet to start the meds for it but it's pretty frustrating as it makes me turn hostile towards people I care about because I believe they're plotting against me sometimes. The hallucinations are more of a nuisance rather than a serious issue as it's more like thinking I hear someone than finding out no one is there.

Ah, that totally sucks. Not that i would know, i can only imagine with the things you've said.
About the uhh, is it okay if i call it some sort of paranoia? I meant the thought of people chasing you or plotting against you. Could you make an example? Only if you want tho, obv you know that but i had to say it anyway.
And with an example i meant, y'know something that happened and it was only your mind like; I was just waiting on the line to buy the chores and the people behind me muttering made me think it was about me. Or something, idk.

Well the example you gave is the most common, when people whisper, talk, snicker or laugh I think it's about me. This normally only happens if I can't hear them properly. A more extreme example would be when I was walking home one time and someone was behind me, I started panicking thinking they were after me and ended up sprinting home out of fear.
