I am part of a system!

My main interest is warrior cats and warrior cat related anything, so you will see a lot of warrior cats art in this blog :3

The urge to make my friends every gift under the sun is strong. I don’t know if it’s the fear of losing them or what, but it sure is strong.

things people have done to help me during a psychosis episode

i was on the buss and i hallucinated bugs crawling all over my hands, so my friend pulled my hoodie sleeves over them with permission and held my hands through the sleeves to "keep them off". they used the logic you would in a real bug situation.

i went nonverbal in a bad one in class, so my friend wrote me a note to give to the nurse since the teacher wouldn't let her go with me.

i often am very paranoid about the delusion that meat is actually rotten, so my dad will sometimes eat a bit of it before me

instead of telling me my delusions arent real, they help me through it using logic like it was real. they dont tell me that nothings going to hurt me in my sleep, they stay with me to keep me safe. then when it passes i can realize its not real

edit: i am not a doctor. i am not saying this will work for everyone, the only reason this works for me is because I have short term delusions typically. Typically, it helps me most when people point out the things not real in a loving manner AND help me as though it is

this is not advice for helping every mentally ill person

i am glad it is helping so many people tho! i love you all and I never thought this would blow up.

Stop saying…

“Psychotic/Schizophrenic” when you mean: unpredictable, unrestrained, unreal, etc.

“Bipolar” when you mean: polarized, scattered, fickle, unstable, etc.

“Delusional” when you mean: unrealistic, unreasonable, close-minded, stubborn, etc.

“[insert “R” slur in relation to intellectual disabilities]” when you mean: unreasonable, ridiculous, scatterbrained, immature, etc.

“OCD” when you mean: particular, neat, overbearing, etc.

“Narcissistic” when you mean selfish, abusive, manipulative, etc.

Note: I’m NOT saying that these are synonymous. This is also not an exhaustive list.

[mylittlemesseduphead]

it sucks how people dont let you talk about your psychotic experiences and immediately just go "see a doctor about that" or "i am not qualified to help with this" like i actually am not asking you to fix this i just need someone to listen to me because this experience is incredibly isolating and lonely and scary and no one seems to be able to deal with me when i really just need a friend. like why is it ok to talk about your autism or adhd struggles but as soon as it is psychosis it is chucked in the too hard basket.

[rabbitalarm]

100% I understand that others may not understand, but why can’t I ramble about my experiences without being told “I can’t help you with that” :(

[rabbitalarm]

Beings need to understand that beings with schizo-spec disorders exist, and use the internet. Like myself hi, hello I’m typing on the internet! But these beings don’t understand that using the word schizophrenic or schizo in a derogatory light hurts many of us. We do see when you use them, I see it quite often when I’m not even searching for it.

Please treat beings with schizo-spec disorders with the same respect you would yourselves. We are no less than you, so treat us that way.

I’m sorry this is so rushed, I’m just dumbfounded that almost everyone thinks this is ok. It is definitely not ok, I don’t understand why they don’t see so.

- rabbit out :(

[schizotisticstatic-deactivated2]

hey jsyk schizophrenic/schizospec people aren't all homeless people talking to themselves or people stuck in psych wards trying to kill everyone or whatever they tell you (but even they deserve support and understanding!! no psychotic person is as scary as they try to make you think they are!!). for example, i just kinda sit in my room and don't bother anyone like maybe 80% of the time. i scroll on my phone. i watch movies and play games on my computer. i do chores when i (rarely) have the energy. i have a partner who i love and who tries their best to understand me and help me no matter what's going on with me.

yes, i also have a lot of crazy ideas that i believe and i see and hear things that aren't there and sometimes i start freaking out because i think someone close to me died when they're perfectly fine or that someone's coming to kill me or that my pets have been replaced with alien creatures, but i'm also a person with a life and a childhood and friends and i am not a threat to anyone.

and i'm here. on tumblr. on youtube. in real life. i can see and hear what everyone says about people like me. and i'm fucking tired of it.

treat people with psychotic disorders like people. please. it's not hard to do.

[rabbitalarm]

The most realest thing I’ve heard all day. You guys really do treat us like shit, I’m starting to get to edge of my limit with it.

Beings with psychotic disorders want to be treated the same way everyone else is being treated. Treat everyone like you would yourselves, is all that I ask.

NOTICE FOR PSYCHOTIC PEOPLES LIKE ME AND THE NEW TOMODACHI LIFE: Please please pretty pretty please be careful while playing Living the Dream, esp if you’re currently unmedicated!!!

The game treats the Miis like they’re real people and makes zero mention ever that they are not, and only ever refers to them and their POV as if they are real and you are their caretaker! While playing this honestly messed with my head pretty badly at times and made me worry a lot on if I was hurting real people/not doing enough for real people while I was playing!

I cannot imagine how much worse this would be for someone who’s unmedicated, non-dormant, or experiencing breakthrough symptoms! Do please be careful and PLEASE remember to have a way to reality check yourself while playing the game!!!

Also: If you’re not psychotic, please reblog this anyway!!! It may not seem like a big deal to you but these kinds of things are REALLY important to know for us psychotic folk in a world that is both hostile and negligent to us and our needs!!!

[rabbitalarm]

The only reason I’ve been scared to play is this ^

schizophrenia spectrum people who have violent urges are still deserving of care and compassion without judgement

schizophrenia spectrum people who are homeless or experience food insecurity are still deserving of care and compassion without judgement

schizophrenia spectrum people who talk out loud to hallucinations and act erratic in public are still deserving of care and compassion without judgement

schizophrenia spectrum people who cannot work or go to school because of their symptoms are still deserving of care and compassion without judgement

schizophrenia spectrum people who struggle with personal hygiene are still deserving of care and compassion without judgement

schizophrenia spectrum people who don’t want to take medication or cannot adhere to a medication regiment are still deserving of care and compassion without judgement

schizophrenia spectrum people who live with their parents as an adult or needs a carer are still deserving of care and compassion without judgement

just because someone on the schizophrenia spectrum is stereotypical or societally ostracized doesn’t take away their right to being treated with kindness, compassion, and respect and given autonomy

🦋 “You can take my heart, you can take my breath when you pry it from my cold, dead chest!” — The Resistance (Skillet)

May 24th is World Schizophrenia Day! And I’m so excited that once again, we all get to celebrate it together, lovely fellow patients! Every year I get to this date, I feel immense pride in my determination to live. And I’m so happy to finally have a community of people to share my joy and experiences with!!

Very recently, I had visited an actual asylum that had opened in 1908 near where I live. When walking through the halls and reading the historical information, when seeing all the toys left behind for children long since passed and the papers filled out with patients’ vitals, their symptoms, it was an overwhelming reminder of all people like me have lived through, and still live through.

I would have resided there. If I was born decades ago, it would have been me in those medical beds, and it may have also been you. It may have been many of us. And that is why I am so determined to tell this story. This history, this dignity I want to preserve of all psychiatric patients from both the past and present, is one of the most important things in the world to me.

When you think about asylums, about the scary and violent history, about the small wins that were won in these institutions, the good, the bad, I want everyone to remember that us patients are still among you. We are not relics of the past or stuck white hospital rooms. We are living, we are striving for better futures, for hope and acceptance and love just like anyone else.

Around 1 in 300 people have schizophrenia. In the US, that means there is about 3.7 million of us. In the world, 23 million. And yet we are still so misunderstood and mistreated. I, personally, am fed up with that. We may be a minority even in the mental health space, but that does not mean we don’t deserve the same care as others. Through Pupa Project, I am determined to change the course we find ourselves on. I am determined to make this world better for us, even if by just a little bit.

🦋 Happy World Schizophrenia Day!!

Let’s change fate, together. 🦋✨🩶
