No, I don't really get that many jokes about it, and I thought you were refering to me as the person going to Hell.....Please pardon me, but I'm a bit paranoid at times.
And, in addition, if anyone wants to say anything to me in private forum, or just find out what it's like, feel free to aim me....it's armygirl398. I'm always willing to talk, sort of keeps my head a bit more in reality.
Well, with the hallucinations I have, wether they be auditory or visual, are very detailed, and very very convincing. Half the time I cannot tell the difference between reality and the disease, so I tend to rely on coworker's reactions to certain things, and also, my husband helps too. Say, for instance, a few weeks ago, someone walked into my store witha gun in his hand...no one else reacted to it at all, so I figured it wasn't really there. Other times, I have run into people walking home, that have said hello to me, but when I turned around a split second later, they were not there. It gets interesting. They have shadow, substance, sound, everything. It's a second world.
That would be an interesting idea....I'd have to figure out how to phrase a couple of the concepts that explain a couple things that I go through, but if I could find a safe place to post it, I certainly would.
I live in the good old United States of America. As far as I have seen, there are not any free health benefits for me to use in regards of my schizophrenia. *shrugs* I've dealt this long.
Well....let me think of it this way. I was diagnosed schizoprhenic about 6 years ago....I am a hallucinatory schizophrenic, which means on top of hearing things, I see things. Makes life a bit difficult. Things people take for granted, I find a challenge. Imagine, if you will, driving down the street, and not knowig if the people you see walking in the street are real or not. I haven't been on meds for quite some time, due to lack of health coverage, and the fact that those things can get expensive. If you have any questions, my email is open for anyone who wants it.

And....the whole topic isn't off kilter? You will be alone in Hell, buddy...I know where I am headed.

Schizophrenia and MPD are two completely different things, trust me, I know what schizphrenia is, I've lived with it for 6 years.
The anonymous coward who said I should stop driving....the one who is too damn chicken to even put a name to the insults.
*rolls eyes* It's people like you.....anyway, I don't drive currently, dingbat.
