yeah, having delusions/hallucinations is "bad," its not something a healthy brain does, but like... if you're already disordered, you're not making it worse by accepting your disorder and co-existing with it.

im schizotypal and when im stressed, i have a cast of "demons" that i feel the presence of. two are scary, and one is honestly chill. they aren't real to anyone else except me, they cant hurt me or anyone else, and they only exist in my head. but my brain is part of me. it's like most of me, and so these hallucinations do affect me.

my friends kinda play along with me, they will check rooms for me to make sure the demons cant get me, theyll go into rooms first if im scared, theyll walk me to bed if i feel in danger. i collect porcelain dolls, and i believe they protect me from "demons", when i feel afraid my friends will tell my dolls to keep me safe and scare the "demons" away.

the demons dont exist, but theyre a part of my life. i could ignore them and supress that part of my brain, but thats extremely difficult and usually makes it worse, because even though they arent real to the world, they Are real to me.

basically all this is to say, if someone believes they can turn into a wolf or that they have a real tail or sum shit, mind ur own buisness. thats theyre reality and theyre using online spaces to express that reality. the people in their real life will alert the right people if they think the person is a danger to themself or others. you reality checking them is not only totally pointless but could infact reinforce their delusions and make them More likely to be a risk. chances are that they know theyre disordered but they just wanna play into their delusions online because its a coping mechanism.

basically stfu and leave disordered alterhumans alone 🫶

It's May 24th, which is schizophrenia (and psychosis) awareness day. We have schizoaffective disorder ourselves, and it influences our own alterhumanity in a few ways here and there. We've probably done a post like this before, but I'm doing it again.

Reminder that alterhumans of any kind with psychosis are no less real in their identities than an alterhuman without psychosis. Having a psychotic disorder doesn't discredit your personal identity in any way, even if it does stem from a delusion. It doesn't matter where your identity comes from.

So. Shoutout to: Systems formed from or influenced by psychosis. Otherkin who are nonhuman due to delusions. Endels of any kind. Otherlinkers who have 'linked something to help with their psychosis or because of it. Otherhearteds who have a hearttype that relates to their psychosis. Physical nonhumans who are this way due to delusions. Fictionfolk and factfolk who have their identities influenced/formed by psychosis. Alterhumans who get euphoria from their psychotic symptoms. Alterhumans who are alterhuman because they're psychotic. Alterhumans who just happen to have a psychotic disorder and those two things don't intersect.

You deserve a place in this community. You deserve to be accommodated, you deserve to be safe, and you deserve to not be the talking point of discourse every other month.
