Is DP/DR worse than Schizo?

Lately I have been thinking that this disorder that I have, whatever it is, may possibly be worse than schizophrenia? Why? Because Schizo people have no idea that something is wrong with them. Where on the other hand we DP/DR people are overly aware that something is wrong with us, thus the reason we keep feeling like crap. Honestly, have you ever seen anyone on this board with schizophrenia? No, because they have no idea that something is wrong with them.

This DP/DR stuff makes life hell, because we aren't seen as crazy, no one knows what we are going through, we are so aware that things aren't right and constantly are thinking about the way we feel, and we are expected to continue on with life like nothing is wrong. And it blows.

Schizophrenics have it way worse than us. On another depersonalization board, there was a schizophrenic. She has pretty bad depersonalization. People with schizophrenia sometimes get this disorder. They can't function correctly a lot of times. They have hallucinations and delusions. They can be extremely paranoid. They have trouble socially. Some of them can't have jobs or anything. My mother knew a guy with schizophrenia that thought the government had inserted aliens into him and was extremely paranoid. Schizophrenia isn't even curable either. I would much rather have this disorder than schizophrenia.
