@psychotic-psypport
I've got the same things to say as last year but I'm saying it again because I still feel it:
I'm 27 today!! I never ever thought I'd live to see this many birthdays, yall, and with even more to come!! We're surviving and living past what we expect to be the end of our stories
Living my best life, so so glad I stuck around instead of ending it, genuinely happy to be here
Never kill yourself!
disorganized speech anon again. Thank you for your answer. It was very insightful and actually probably what I needed to hear right now. I appreciate it :)
I'm so glad! I'm always open if you need :)
Im recently diagnosed schizoaffective and wanted to ask you about disorganized speech. A) can you have disorganized speech outside of an actively psychotic episode? and B) how can you tell a difference between disorganized speech and just having, like, a quirky vocabulary? since diagnosis, me + my family have identified some types of disorganized speech patterns in myself but it feels strange that something so seemingly innocuous could be a symptom of my mental illness. any good sources on this?
Hi there!
I think that a lot of symptoms that effect psychotic people, especially the symptoms that present in a physical way (movements, expressions etc) can show up pretty regularly outside of a psychotic episode. Just because you're not in an active episode doesn't mean that the whole kit and caboodle goes away. My personal experience with disorganized speech is limited and it hasn't been one of the symptoms that have really played an active role in my life, but that's been my experience with it. Its a very personalized thing, going through psychosis/schizospec disorders.
On that tangent, it makes sense to me that its been hard to pick apart your speech to figure out what is disorganized speech and what is your quirks, but these things mix, they blend. You are a result of everything in your life all jumbled up to create your unique life experience and your psychosis is no different. It doesnt have to be a bad thing either, it can just be a thing, you know?
I'm sorry if this isn't exactly what you asked for, but I hope this helps regardless
anyways schizospec and psychotic people who are also horror fans are stronger than any u.s. marine
It sounds kinda dramatic but I think psychosis (particularly schizophrenia) is often socially regarded as a form of death. Psychotics aren't seen as real, living people so much as ghosts or fragments of our sane selves.
Exactly! One of the things I say most often when I am asked about being psychotic, surviving it, how anyone else is meant to do the same, is that it is not a death sentence. Society treats schizospec disorders as the end of the line and makes it so hard to hope for recovery and a happy life when you are told so often this is a form of death. The narrative we are handed is dismal and fake and you should discard it because life is still worth living. You're still alive to live it.
Am I the only one who notices it’s “okay” and people “love” and obsess over characters with disorders and mental health problems
But as soon as a IRL person has the same problems they treat them with disgust? And subhuman while still glazing a fictional character?
We need to stop letting people romanticize disorders, or gatekeep fictional characters with disabilities and disorders at this point.
I have jumped into too many fandom spaces and seeing this shit and knowing more than one person who has demonized me for having disorders I can’t help and then gushing over disabled characters.
Small vent, but yeah-
Not the only one at all. Its so annoying to have depictions of us being fetishized or woven into some beautiful tragedy when we are real and receive judgement for the very things that make fiction characters so compelling to these people.
Youre not alone. I hate it too
People with psychosis aren't fucking entertainment. We aren't here to be stared at. We aren't here to satisfy anyones twisted amusement. None of us are media to be consumed. Our purpose to live isn't to be laughed at. The reason we survive isn't to be made a mockery of. We're people.
How do you know if you have schizoaffective or schizophrenia?
Hi!
The way it was explained to me when I got my diagnosis was that schizophrenia and schizoaffective are very close, but that schizoaffective is characterized with a mood element (depression or bipolar disorder) as well as the psychotic symptoms that are in schizophrenia, making schizoaffective something of a package deal.
That being the big difference, I think thats where you ought to look if you're trying to discern one from the other.
Is it normal to have depressive periods as someone on the psychotic spectrum? I’ve noticed I have these periods of just self deprication, low energy, sleeping issues, non stop crying, and other depressive symptoms but nothing’s going on? Like I can’t pin point a reason it’s just there.
Hi!
Absolutely!
Depression can honestly be stacked with pretty much any mental illness, but there's also some that have it built in with the psychotic experience. I'm schizoaffective with the depressive type as opposed to bipolar, so I am also prone to periods of intense depression.
Its frustrating when there's no reason, but you come by it honestly and its not your fault if your brain is continually handing you depression. Psychosis and depression often have intersections where they meet and I have had a very similar experience to yours, along with knowing others with similar struggles. Youre not alone in this!
If you need anything, please keep sending asks!
Drinking soda is better than drinking nothing all day. Eating ice cream for dinner is better than eating nothing for dinner. Eating salsa is better than having no produce in your diet at all.
Water is way more hydrating than soda, but soda is more hydrating than nothing. A balanced meal is way more nutritious than ice cream, but ice cream is more nutritious than nothing.
Something is better than nothing. Some hydration is better than no hydration. Some nutrients are better than no nutrients. Some produce is better than no produce.
Don't let societally imposed food guilt trick you into believing that nothing is a better choice. Nourishing your body, however you can, is always the better choice. Fed is best. Always.
I didn't ask if it made sense to keep going. I said I'm going to kick your twisted evil ass.
reminder to non-psychotics
STOP using 'psycho' or 'psychotic' to describe people who you deem are 'evil' or 'bad' or 'crazy'. It is harmful to people who have psychosis (such as myself). Please do not use stigmatised disorders/medical terms to make a point. There are many words you can use without putting down others who may have a psychotic disorder, or some other condition.
Tell yourself the things you want others to tell you. Do the things you want others to do for you. Hold your own hand, sit with yourself, talk nicely to yourself, you are allowed to give yourself affection and care.
forgive yourself for your psychosis.
forgive yourself for the strange things you say, do, the lengths you went to just to isolate yourself or do what you thought was "right", the ways you might've even hurt people during episodes.
you may feel embarrassed, ashamed, guilty. forgive yourself. beating yourself up helps nobody. you're gonna learn to live with it eventually, my lovelies. i promise.
Your support for other schizophrenics shouldn't end at people who are sicker than you. you should still be advocating for those who are more symptomatic, especially the ones who are "erratic" and "scary". Those are the ones of us who need the most support and they don't deserve to be thrown under the bus because you feel they make us look bad.

The whole "it gets better" thing always used to feel disingenuous and unrealistic to me growing up as a delusional paranoid terrified psychotic kid with a self harm problem and a non-specific eating disorder but like
I was all of those things and I still got better, and that means I know what I'm saying when I say it gets better even for someone who is all of those things because it does. And it did.
If its hard to trust that it really does get better because its coming from people who dont know what youre up against, I promise there's people coming from the same place with the same hurts that can tell you it does.
I was so deeply unhappy as a kid and it was so hard to see a way out. I'm grown now and I'm so full of hope that little me would never believe it. It really does get better, I mean it.
