Hi @Alittleorange
Welcome to the forums. Its great to have you here and good on you for reaching out.
I don't have experience with Schizophrenia personally, but like @MJG017 mentioned there are some great resources in the link they shared. You can also try using the search bar at the top of the forums page and putting in some key words and seeing if there's anything that comes up that is helpful to you there.
Even though I don't have experience with Schizophrenia, I do know what its like to be treated differently because of a mental illness. Its taken me a long while to realise that people's reactions are more about themselves that you, and they don't realise the impact that this can have on you and your recovery. Its important to be able to reestablish yourself in social circles and society, and when I found that this was becoming too much of an uphill battle for me (after a very long time of what felt like banging my head against a brick wall) I branched out and tried to make new social circles and establish myself in different areas than people who knew me "before".
I hope you find the support you need here on the forums
Warm regards
