Staying Silly

Alter in a dissociative system — He/him ※ asexual, bi, transsexual and genderqueer cis man ※ co-host and system archivist ※ introject ※ disabled in a variety of ways. — My name is Jonathan Sims, but you can call me Jon, Jonathan, Sims, Archivist, I don’t really care. Sometimes I make art of myself, friends, my cat, that sort of thing. — Feel free to say hello, I'm not unfriendly unless someone gives me a good reason. Fuck off if you're the type to be rude to others for things they can't control.

I don't think I've ever seen anything that more perfectly replicates how psychosis feels. The latching onto/ascribing meaning to little details. The endless "searching..." as your brain tries to fit every real-life stimulus into its narrative of what's REALLY going on. The background preoccupation with real, ongoing emotional difficulty...

People often imagine psychotic delusions as being entirely dependent on hallucination, people seeing and talking to fully fleshed out, convincing looking characters. But delusion doesn't require hallucination at all. All it requires is the conviction that ordinary things are a puzzle to be solved, that there's meaning to be made... and that you're so close to understanding things that no one else knows.

my blanket warms me. what is its motive? consider that my blanket warms me with my own warmth, that i warm it, too, that without me my blanket would be cold as all surrounds. my blanket warms me because it wants to be warm. that is my motive, too, for warming it. there's a mutuality here. i'm like a blanket to my blanket and my blanket's just like a blanket to me.

When people say things like "Behold the Accursed One!" that doesn't imply any ill intent on their part -- quite often it's meant as a neutral or even helpful statement. But the problem with this sort of language is that, however well-intentioned it may be, it foregrounds the curse at the expense of the person behind it; auguries have shown that this can have a priming effect that subtly reduces empathy. For that reason, experts today encourage people to use one-first language, such as "Behold the One who Bears the Curse," to better emphasize the dignity of the individual.
