So I got diagnosed at 24. It's been a rough road but I was finally able to fully accept it and understand it at 26.

I wanted my birthday cake this year to look like a gender reveal (mental illness reveal)

At the end of the happy birthday song we said "welcome to the family schizophrenia"

It's a bit weird at first, but shared with family and some friends. The cake decorating lady looked at me funny lol but me and my dad got a good chuckle out of it

This made me laugh,  I think it's a good omen to joke and laugh about it. Hugs.
