Summary: “People with schizophrenia sometimes hear voices others don’t hear, believe that others are broadcasting their thoughts to the world, or become convinced that others are plotting to harm them. These experiences can make them fearful and withdrawn and cause difficulties when they try to have relationships with others” (NIMH, 2008).
Warnings: None
Author’s Notes: Written for the lovely mellaithwen’s birthday. (Happy, happy birthday!) She asked for something regarding the conversation in “Ghostfacers,” where the brothers said the following: Sam, “You know what you get when you show the word the truth?” and Dean responded, “A straitjacket or a punch in the face. Sometimes both.” She continued on to say, “There are so many crazy!Sam stories or people thinking Sam’s crazy and really not that many with Dean…” Well. This is kind of something like that. I hope.

Thank you to equinox_blue who brainstormed with me even before her big departure. Always appreciated, sweetie. Huge thanks has to go to both legoline and tru_faith_lost who braved this fic in the early stages, cracked the needed whip, and answered all my rambling emails. These two were the best pair of betas a girl could ask for, and this story would not be what it is right now without their help. Ladies, thank you so very much.

I’ve added a bit since the original beta, so any remaining mistakes are mine alone and are not the reflection of anyone else. Cross-posted around.
