I've had schizophrenia since age 14. IT is not a disorder.......it is a deadly disease.

It's not a deadly disease it is a gift. Who knows maybe you and I are the two who will help the ones who refuse to even trying to jelp themselves or talk about it. As the same with you my doctors say I have child Psychosis/schizophrenia. It is called Child if it is below age 18.

Being ashamed of living with schizophrenia is like a diabetic feeling ashamed for shooting insulin, there shouldn't be anything shameful about a medical condition. However, mental illness seems to carry a certain stigma, maybe a few more years and it won't.

It is truly a mental disorder not a disease so please dont confuse yourself. You do not need to be ashamed, there are many people who are like this and it can be controlled to a degree. Please keep in touch with your doctor. Most people with the worst cases of schizophrenia dont even know they have the problem. I fyou know it then it can be controlled. Good luck!
From me and me!

would you be ashamed to have cancer?? It is equally a debilitating disease.

I don't think it is something to be ashamed of at all... you cant change it.. you have to embrace it... you have no other choice.
Best of luck =)
