Dependent on my doctor agreeing, and my HR person being sufficiently sick of my absenteeism and repeated sick leaves, I might be able to never go back to the call centre again. Praises to merciful Allah if this be true.

Let's posit that you do have schizophrenia: The knowledge that you have it wouldn't make your schizophrenia any worse, would it? And wouldn't it be better to know exactly what your problem is than to be in the dark about your own mind? And there are treatments for schizophrenia that have been known to work. As far as I know, nobody's yet found a cure for 'being fucked up'.
Let's posit that you don't have schizophrenia: Wouldn't the knowledge that you don't have a major mental illness be immensely relieving?
Maybe it's because I'm removed from the situation, but I don't see a downside to getting a diagnosis.

Today (or rather last night) I learned that I have a lot of work to do before I can smooth talk to a girl I like over the phone.

I can chew the fat and tell jokes easily enough, but when my carefully crafted proposal for a date on the weekend is refused on the basis that she's "heading out of town", my head goes all to shit. Just can't think of a Plan B fast enough, because I never think I need it.

Le sigh.

I'm terrible at shotput, socializing and coping with things.
we, unlike the bourgeoisie, have nothing to lose and therefore our expression will be the only honest one, our words will be the only challenging ones and our art will be the one revolutionary expression. We need new noise and new voices and new canvases to become something more than the last poets of a useless generation.

Kids can give inspirational speeches, even if they're about bike riding.
A young merc terminally ill with cancer, I signed on for a government "human weapon" program: Weapon X. They got rid of the cancer like they promised...sorta...by melding an advanced healing factor to it. The gruesome experiments left me physically and mentally scarred, so they put me in a mental ward where the guards held a dead pool. I escaped and rose to infamy, partly a hero.

For falling in love with a physical avatar of Death, I was cursed with life. I pissed off a divine power so that I could be with her again, but it failed. After I got struck down by some powerful lighting, I came back to life...as a breathing corpse. Fuck.

No it wouldn't. Honestly, Zeno's in the dark about pretty much everything and people telling Zeno things all the time is just making them seem suspicious and hard to understand. Course there's treatments....

Which would be nice. Hell yes. Zeno'd think it would probably put stress on family... not to mention that the diagnosis gos on ones record... or something... Zeno feels unsure about all of this stuff anyways.

... Except the Bipolar.

Evidently conversations and drugs are both dangerous substances and need to be regulated.
