the bullying is terrible, what kind of human beings do that? you did the right thing, and i hope your work goes well. I am freelancing, nobody asks me about my health, and the few employers i disclosed my bipolar to are fine with it, and get that I sometimes get lots done and sometimes "have a hard time". If you wish to contact me feel free to drop a note and I'll give you my email.
keep it up and kudos to you for handling the harassment.
- NoPiece 14y agoMaybe the schizophrenia is causing the perception of bullying where there may not have been. E.g., "they bribed an ice cream truck to drive by every 15 minutes and ring the bell and play music near my window. "
- orionblastar 14y agoThat is my conclusion because every 15 minutes the ice cream truck would drive by my window and ring their bell and play music. Usually it would drive by different windows and buildings and not every 15 minutes. Do you have a different reason why it would do so? My mind detects patterns and it allows me to solve problems and come up with solutions. That ice cream truck's schedule was way off the normal schedule for those few days, plus my coworkers laughed at the fact it was outside my window every 15 minutes and one of them said "it was worth the money."
- NoPiece 14y agoYou could be right. It just reminds me of the kinds of things a schizophrenic friend of mine would say. She would often have a more suspicious interpretation of events than I would.
- orionblastar 14y agoWell fair enough, schizophrenia does cause delusion and distorted thinking. But it would be more like "The government put a chip in my head to track me and it makes me hear noises that aren't there" or "The man in the ice cream truck is secretly an alien and trying to send me a hidden message"
