Schizophrenic and abandoned by family

Stellar

Sometimes I think the schizophrenic in a family can often be the healthiest member of the family, because they are the ones who get help. I have been rejected by my siblings because of my diagnosis. It hurts me, I grew up thinking they would me three of some of my best friends for life. Not so.

I'm sorry, that must hurt.

Stellar, such painful disappointments can cause the desire to brood alone, yet please don't torment yourself with longing & regret. Many disorders such as with you are often well-inside the family circle and held secretly in private, or by those suffering & in denial. I've often advised family to search through personal behaviors to avoid gazing too strongly at the scapegoats. I feel that it is just fear of the unknown, and this leaves some unable to express what they're really feeling openly. Many blessings to you. Take care! You are doing well to face your personal challenges so bravely.

Hi!
I don't know what your exact situation is like BUT I do know what it's like to be rejected by those that are "suppose" to help you,be there for you and support you NO MATTER WHAT!!
So,in that regard, I can relate and I sympathize.
Gentle hugs

    Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
