One of the nastiest outgrowths of the Self Help Industrial Complex and the pseudo-psychiatric therapization of, well, everything, is this worrying trend of dividing the world into Givers and Takers, into Empaths and Toxic People, into Victim and Victimizer. The already warped and butchered idea of emotional labor has been twisted into a monster that devours the simple idea of establishing boundaries and shits out a foul heap of convenient excuses and categories to assure you that you are an ontologically good person who just needs to avoid ontologically evil people and to mete out emotional interaction in a totally transactional way in order to be safe. Sorry! We're all complex people who both provide and require emotional support to others! We're gonna get hurt! You don't get off that easy!

#I really can't stand this mentality either but also it ends up making me feel bad for having boundaries with helping people.#idk how to do this right because on one hand people are like oh you're helping somebody you're such a doormat they're not gonna do anything #for you or it's how dare you break up with that person now you made them sad #like where is the option that makes any sense #like if i don't have to exist entirely for somebody else I have to keep tallies on everything I do for somebody #idk I feel like im putting myself out too much for somebody right now and I wish I had the energy to be helpful but I just don't and they #make things harder every other day. like on the one hand I want to afford all the energy and patience I want to be afforded to myself but I #just can't anymore and I feel like im repeating every time I've been told im too much or im useless or some secret third thing. it sucks

Me being nice to somebody or showing any kind of affection: omg im lovebombing them

isn't it insane though how schizophrenic people are viewed as violent and dangerous by the majority of society when in reality schizophrenic people are nearly 14 times more likely to be on the receiving end of violence than to be the perpetrators...

What the fuck happens that changes these stats to such a massive degree?

catgirlapologist

1) schizophrenia hardly ever causes people to be violent so schizophrenic people aren’t more likely to be violent than anyone else

2) schizophrenic people’s autonomy is often taken away from them because of their schizophrenia. because the authorities and mental healthcare providers often automatically assume schizophrenic people to be violent, they’re more likely to immediately react to schizophrenic people's symptoms with violence, without even knowing for sure said schizophrenic person was going to be violent. all of this causes schizophrenic people to be more likely of being victims of violence and abuse. schizophrenic people also have a harder time getting out of abusive households because of the risk of their autonomy being taken away. if a schizophrenic person’s relative or partner is abusive, often the schizophrenic person has no way out of the situation, both because our disconnect from reality can result in us being easier to manipulate, and because the system is built in a way that it takes away our autonomy because of our condition.

also schizophrenic people and psychotic people in general, please do a lot of research before picking a provider for your own sake, and if they try to treat your psychosis in a way that you think is harmful then don’t hesitate to switch providers. your safety and wellbeing should be a priority over everything else.
