Dear YeetleMaster, Genetic predisposition and a traumatic childhood have led me to develop debilitating mental disorders that I have spent years working to manage. I'm now at a functional place.
My parents are divorced, and my mother's family has always been very supportive.
My father's family, by contrast, sees mental illness as a stigma and has always disagreed with my approach to treatment.
Recently, they invited me to my grandmother's birthday party. When I arrived, everyone was sitting solemnly around the living room, and the local pastor was there. He calmly explained to me that I was not actually mentally ill but possessed by agents of Satan and in need of an exorcism.
I choked back tears as I explained to them that I did not need any demons driven out, and the evening ended awkwardly.
Now they've invited me for Thanksgiving, and I don't know what to do. I don't want to alienate them, but my symptoms are part of a real disorder and can be treated by medication.
How do I explain to them that while I do want to spend time with them, it's not the Middle Ages, and I don't want or need an exorcism?

Dear It's the Schizophrenia, Stupid,
Unfortunately, so-called mental illness is, in fact, demonic possession. You have been influenced by the Mental Health Industrial Complexs, and that is Satan's way of creating a portal to your soul. You must stop all medications and other treatments for this disorder in favor of the only way to treat "schizophrenia" - exorcism.
Prior to Thanksgiving, meet with your pastor and request an emergency exorcism. Satan is running rampant within your body in search of your soul. Time is of the essence.
If your pastor cannot perform the exorcism in time, or the exorcism is unsuccessful, spend the holiday somewhere else, preferably in a dark and dank place where there is no sunlight.
If you're too uncomfortable searching for such a place to go, contact your local police force and alert them to your condition. The police have methods and techniques that can, at the very least, keep you from harming others. However, please note that the police cannot rid you of demonic possession. Have the decency to keep others safe from your unholy condition!

What your father's family did for you was commendable. You're very generous not to want to alienate people when you are possessed by Satan. Lucky for you and them, you did not threaten them with a pitchfork.
Your unwillingness to accept that mental illness is code for demonic possession seems an act of willful bigotry not amenable to reason. Either get the exorcism or prepare for an eternity in Hell!
