Struggling with Early Onset Schizophrenia

@AlPal1993 i’m definitely facing the stigma, my friend group at school make fun of me when i opened up to them, i try to help them understand with my art and diagrams but they keep calling themselves a “schitzo” and mocking my speech patterns and some delusions that slip out that i wasn’t aware were my brain’s filling in. and the one program in my state isn’t in my mom’s income bracket… i’m glad to hear you’ve survived almost 10 years with it, i’ve had brief hallucinatory and delusional symptoms as a small child, then the negative and delusional symptoms in early middleschool and having all of the symptoms from late middleschool to middle of high school present, i’m medicated with a pretty low dose single release antipsychotic.

@PokeAdams wisconsin, they have no treatment for teens in my state so i’m going to have to fly down to florida this summer to join a program and hopefully get some stronger meds under the right supervision
