A little meme for all the schizospecs out there !! We're sorta left out a lot so I wanted to make smth. I might make more idkkkk
One thing that's vitally important to remember is that feeling ''weirded out'' is not a form of harm. It is a completely normal part of socializing. It is the feeling of encountering something unfamiliar. In order to be a kind person, you must learn to how to distinguish between "harmful" and "weird." And then you must accept the weird.
shout out to fellow schizoprenics who talk super fast, who talk super fast then suddenly stop, who talk about two things at once, whose thoughts litterally cannot keep up
shout out to fellow schizophrenics who sometimes talk in ways that "don't make sense to others."
shout out to fellow schizophrenics who have echolalia
shout out to fellow schizophrenics who will only say half a sentance out loud
shout out to fellow schizophrenics whose speech is affected by their schizophrenia
DO NOT MAKE THIS ABOUT OTHER PSYCHOTIC DISORDERS OR ANYTHING ELSE
I think the (incorrect) way a lot of the Progressiveâąïž internet has come to interpret the word 'delusion' is why people are so surprised when interacting with someone who has actual delusions. When I was at my worst, I was literally given medication to make me sleep, because being conscious when experiencing such horrifying delusions felt like literal torture and I planned to end my life because I felt everyone conspired against me. Delusions can drive you away from friends, family, and anyone who ever cared about you. You can't "reality check" delusions and questioning them often ropes you into the delusion as a distrustful person. Delusions have nothing to do with reality shifting, relating to fictional characters, or whatever BS people are saying now. And yes, delusions are not always terrifying, but I wanted to address the worst parts because that's where you really need to support people.
Since someone asked how to help someone with these experiences: 'Fact-check' and encourage discussion within the delusion to make the situation less frightening. For example, "tell me how you figured this out" to gain insight on the delusion and "I think it might not be that easy for X to happen because of Y" when you know what is feared. Some people see this as "encouraging the delusion" but simply saying a delusion isn't real won't help, and as I said, may make the person distrust you more. Also, do what may help the person feel more safe in the moment, such as rolling down shades or taking away objects they believe are harmful (all depends on the delusion of course).
if you drool, i love you.
if you talk out of the side of your mouth or otherwise physically move your mouth to speak in a "weird" way that causes pain or affects pronunciation, i love you.
if you walk or otherwise move your limbs in a way that isn't socioculturally considered "normal" or "healthy," i love you.
if you have to breathe loudly and heavily to get enough air, i love you.
[đ Give yourself time đŠ]
reminder that when you start getting angry online, go offline. i know lots of people know this already but lots donât and plenty others need a reminder. thereâs a lot of stuff online meant to make you mad. thereâs a lot of people who get off on making you mad. there are people out there so convinced of their own beliefs that thereâs no point trying to discuss with them. blacklist tags, block people, scroll away, and sometimes, take a breath and step back. hate-scrolling is so easy to fall into but you might not realise how much itâs affecting you until itâs too late
Your mental health doesnât make you bad.
Sometimes I stop what I'm doing and ask myself, "Is the self-talk I'm engaging in right now how I would speak to someone that I love?" If it's not, then I work towards saying something kinder to myself.
where iâm at girls
I just got lightheaded from reading this
from Cultivating Self Compassion in Trauma Survivors by Christopher K. Germer and Kristin Neff
Iâm gonna say somethingâŠ.. controversial
if youâre writing a story and your villain has (or is) dissociative identity disorder then your art is bad and you should feel bad.
you know how straight people are really terrible at telling gay jokes because they donât understand what the actual funny parts of being gay are?
Yeah people without DID who try to use the disorder for horror/thriller purposes fail at it because they donât understand how DID actually effects people and their lives and behavior and relationships
In fact every piece of dramatic media I can think of that depicts DID kinda relies on the audience not understanding how DID actually works
And if the audience being educated ruins their suspension of disbelief, youâve fucked up
And if you have to demonize highly vulnerable abuse survivors to create drama, you might not have any business writing fiction to begin with
Fictional DID is always depicted as dangerous to everyone but the person with the disorder and it makes me wonder what amount of research is acceptable in Hollywood and TV these days
like in Split theyâre all âdifferent alters have different biological realitiesâ as some kind of edgy âwhat if the hulk but realâ thing, and as far as I know, the idea that different alters have different physiologies is not accepted by modern psychology, and was likely falsified by an extremely abusive, immoral, and sadistic psychologist who gave his patients dangerous experimental drugs just to see how they would react, and then when the patients complained of trouble breathing or heart problems, this doctor told the nurses that it was all part of ~multiple personality disorder~ so that they wouldnât like. I donât know. Tell someone that this doctor was poisoning his patients in a wholly unscientific manner for apparent shits and giggles.
So yeah, that such a good sign for that movie huh?? //sarc
Look I donât have DID, but I did live with someone who did for a year. It barely affected me. The person told me because they assumed I would notice something odd if we were living together, but tbh if he hadnât I probably wouldnât have thought anything except maybe that he was forgetful and disorganized.
I only ever knowingly interacted with one alter, who a psychologist might describe as an âangry partâ, as sometimes alters experience limited emotions and are classified as âemotional partsâ. This is the kind of alter that movies like Split want you to think is a rage-crazy murder monster with no impulse control.
The real-life âangry alterâ my roommate had? I mean he was kind of a dick. He always seemed generally pissed off but he wasnât a threat to me. I think he maybe wasnât very nice to my roommate but since that happened internally I never saw, I could only guess. Hardly a hulk-like sex murderer.
And actually the majority times I talked to this alter I didnât even know it. Because usually he made a point of acting like my roommate so that no one would give the system any trouble. Because DID is a highly specialized, involuntary coping mechanism created to protect a victim of trauma or abuse. Alters form so that the victim can continue with their life and grow and develop. If all alters were dangerous volatile monsters that you could easily tell the difference between at a glance, they wouldnât be a very effective defense mechanism.
So I would talk to my roommate as usual, and then like an hour later he would be like âwhoa how long have I been gone, what was my body doing all dayâ and I would be like uhhh I literally donât know dude if you hadnât said that I wouldnât have realized you werenât the one fronting all day.
In Split itâs like âif I lose control of my alters they kidnap and murder people!!!â and meanwhile in reality itâs more likeâŠ.. System needed to go to class today but Alter B was fronting when it was time to leave for class and they didnât feel like going, so the whole system missed out on class and that sucks.
And when alters do hurt people itsâŠ. pretty much always the body of the system. There are suicidal and self-harming alters for sure. But Iâve never found a medically or scientifically valid article or study about homicidal alters. And certainly not alters who carry out complex kidnapping plots of multiple people.
And obviously fiction that demonizes any mental illness makes the world a more dangerous place for people with that mental illness, and Iâve even met mental health workers who believed the horror movie depiction of DID and thought my roommate was going to kill me. That is a serious problem. Itâs one thing for Average Joe to think Split is a legit portrayal of DID, but when the people whose job it is to help mentally ill people believe this?? At best itâs going to be harder for systems to find the help they need. At worst, the mental health system becomes hostile and dangerous to those with DID.
Oh, letâs all get into this post
whoâs gonna tell tumblr that executive dysfunction is more than Not Doing Things?
okay
these are the executive functions. impairment of these functions is executive dysfunction
can someone put these in baby words im an unabsorbing shithead
1. Breaking down tasks into doable pieces ; starting tasks
2. Paying attention to what youâre doing ; changing and completing tasks
3. Ability to direct your focus ; ability to process what youâre doing
4. Understanding & expressing emotions in healthy ways
5. yâknow that thing where you put something down and itâs Gone Now? Thatâs an example of this. Things sticking in your short-term memory, you being able to remember them.
6. Awareness of what youâre doing, what youâre not doing, and what you should be or need to be doing, and changing what youâre doing accordingly.
this is very important for people to remember! often you see posts that only address a small facet of executive dysfunction, and while thatâs ok it can lead to people incorrectly interpreting it or believing they have it when they might not. I really want to stress that that is okay - no one will be mad if you realise you had it wrong - but please make sure you donât leave people misinformed.Â
As someone with severe executive dysfunction that affects all of the above catergories, i ask you to please share this and inform anyone who might not be aware of this. It can be very hurtful to see people dismissing exdcutive dysfunction because they believe that it is far less of a struggle than it really is.
^ From a therapist-friend, in case any in-therapy-friends ever worry about this.Â
Friendly reminder that fetishizing someoneâs disorder does not equal support
Prior to being diagnosed w anything I would look at this post and think why tf does this need to be said but unfortuntely no, this absolutely needs to be said.
if you give me a task with no deadline i will literally never do it but if you give me a deadline i will get it done exactly 1 hour before the deadline even if the deadline is in six years
#this is ADHD#or possibly another executive function disorder but ADHD is the only one I really know about#the reason for this is an ADHD brain does not have an internal feedback system#ADHD brains require external input to make up for missing executive functions#like the ability to process multi-step tasks with delayed consequences#because to an ADHD brain#things donât exist in the absence of consequences#meaning#people with ADHD are drawn to things like video games because the feedback is external and immediate#every action you take has an immediate effect on the game environment#and you can SEE that your actions are providing xp or moving a task towards completion#but for something like homework#the consequences of that homework being done do not exist until that homework must be turned in#and itâs either done or not done at that point#which is why people with ADHD function best closest to deadlines#the consequences of that work being done must be IMMEDIATE to compel the brain to see it as a task that requires completion#because the further out a task is from the consequences of it being done#the more an ADHD brain is incapable of acknowledging it#TASKS DO NOT EXIST TO YOU UNLESS THERE IS IMMEDIATE EXTERNAL FEEDBACK#THIS IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST PROBLEMS WITH ADHD BECAUSE TO OTHER PEOPLE IT DOES LOOK LIKE LAZINESS#BUT A LAZY PERSON JUST WOULDNâT DO THE TASK AT ALL#AND ADHD PERSON STRESSES THEMSELVES HALF TO DEATH TO GET THINGS DONE#BUT ISNâT CAPABLE OF STARTING THEM EARLIER TO PREVENT THE STRESS#BECAUSE THE TASK DOES NOT EXIST UNTIL IT NEEDS TO BE EITHER DONE OR NOT DONE#ITâS KIND OF LIKE SCHRODINGERâS BOX#THE TASK DOESNâT HAVE TO BE DONE OR NOT DONE UNTIL THERE ARE CONSEQUENCES FOR ITS STATE OF COMPLETION#so what LOOKS like laziness to other people#is actually a VERY SERIOUS FAILURE of the brainâs executive function system#which is a VERY serious medical problem#the name âAttention Deficit Disorderâ really fails to sell how serious the disorder actually is via @thecuckoohaslanded
god dammit my tags got cut off AGAIN Iâm hitting the tag limit on like every post lately, I really need to work on that
Anyway I went on to say that there are 5 major executive functions of the human brain.  These are the âhigher functionsâ that really distinguish between a human brain and that of any other animal.  We have added intelligence on top of that, but these are the functional abilities our brains have that the rest of the animal kingdom does not have on a a structural level.  There are 5 of them.  ADHD affects all 5.  And none of them are actually âattentionâ (the closest function to anything that can reasonably be called âattentionâ is whatâs called Working Memory, which is your brainâs ability to hold a specific task in mind to come back to it; distractions are inevitable, but a healthy brain will hear a phone ring, look up, and remember to go back to what it was doing before.  An ADHD brain will hear the phone riBANG ALL MEMORY OF THE CURRENT TASK IS GONE.  ADHD brain looks up, sees the name on the caller id, oh itâs an unknown number, oh itâs probably some political pollster, oh man this yearâs election is just awful I canât believe people are supporting that angry cheeto. Oh cheetos Iâm hungry I should go make a snack.  What kind of snacks do we have?  Did I remember to buy cereal at the store the other day?  What about dog food?  Oh my god I forgot to let the dog back in the house this is why I should have gotten a cat.  Oh my friend sent me a great cat video earlier I should watch that.  AND GUESS WHAT YOU NEVER GO BACK TO WHAT YOU WERE DOING BECAUSE THE STRUCTURE IN YOUR BRAIN THAT SUPPORTS RETURNING TO A PARTIALLY COMPETED TASK DOES NOT EXIST THE WAY IT DOES FOR A NORMAL HEALTHY BRAIN.  This is why even if you start a task well before a deadline you canât keep to it until itâs been completed; the consequences of it being done MUST be more compelling than everything else in the immediate environment for the brain to see it. Â
No matter how much time you give yourself to complete the task, if you have ADHD it will take you 100% of that time, every time, which is why having ADHD actually TEACHES YOU to put things off, because itâs the only way to shorten the total time actually spent completing the task â the disorder rewards you for self-destructive behavior because itâs the only way you can get things done at all, and you end up living in a permanent state of extreme stress, hopping from one emergency deadline to the next even though you hate yourself for it every single time). Â The disorder has been horribly named in a way that trivializes just how serious and life-ruining it actually is.
ADHD is a very, very serious disorder and the pop psych/common understanding of it makes it seem HORRIBLY trivial compared to the real damage it actually does to peopleâs lives.
Ok so this post is extremely long and I put it all together for my blogs Feeling sad page but as I donât have a huge amount of followers I realize so many people are not seeing this information so Iâm posting it here too!
alternatives without harming yourself:
holding/squeezing ice.
splashing your face with water.
getting a rubber band and snapping it against your skin (this could hurt, though itâs better than other ways that people usually choose to self-harm).
take a hot shower or bath.
eat something sour. it will take your mind of the urge. (lemon, sour lollies)
massage where you want to self-harm.
get a red pen or red paint and draw/paint over where you usually self-harm.
remind yourself as to why you shouldnât do it. (scars, harms organs, leave memories etcâŠ)
describe what you are feeling. (is the urge/pain in your chest, fists, legs, arms, head).
killing yourself will not help. it is not a solution.
you have your whole life ahead of you. you have so many more years that you can accomplish things in. for example;
having a family.
getting married.
to watch the sun rise.
to watch the sun set.
to save someone elseâs life.
finish school.
get your dream job.
to laugh.
to smile.
to go camping.
travel to new places.
to wake up every morning to the person you love.
friends.
family.
to keep that promise you made.
to accomplish a goal.
to meet your idol.
to listen to new music.
theme parks.
video games.
chocolate.
to be able to look back and say âi made itâ.
what youâre going through is temporary.
in case you need to hear this:
you are loved.
you are wanted.
you are needed.
you are beautiful.
you are handsome.
you are important.
you are not alone.
you are okay.
you are strong.
you are worth it.
you are smart.
you are not a failure.
you are useful.
you are going to be okay.

Everything Is AWFUL and Iâm Not Okay: Questions to Ask Before Giving Up on Yourself
Are you hydrated?Â
If not, have a glass of water. Dehydration can mimic or increase feelings associated with anxiety and a well hydrated brain functions optimally. Avoid excess caffeine.Â
Have you eaten in the past three hours?Â
Donât be a victim of hanger! Get some foodâsomething with protein, not just simple carbs or high-fat. Nuts, hummus, and veggies are great options to feed your studying brain. Keep healthy snacks within reach to avoid mindlessly chowing down on sweets.Â
Have you stretched your legs in the past day?Â
If not, do so right now. If you donât have the energy or time for a run or a trip to the gym, just walk around the block or building. Even minimal exercise preps the mind for learning so that you can focus better and recall things easier, plus itâs good to get a change of scenery.Â
Have you said something nice to someone in the past day?Â
Do so, whether online or in person. Make it genuine! We bet your study partner would appreciate a compliment.Â
Have you moved your body to music in the past day?
If not, jog for the length of a song at your favorite tempo, or just dance around your bedroom for the length of an upbeat song (singing along is a bonus)Â
Have you cuddled a living being in the past two days?
If not, do so. Donât be afraid to ask for hugs from friends of friendsâ pets. Most of them will enjoy the cuddles too; youâre not imposing.Â
Have you started or changed any medications in the past couple of weeks, including skipped doses or a change in generic prescription brand?Â
That may be screwing with your head. Give things a few days, then talk to your doctor if it doesnât settle down.Â
If daytime: are you dressed?Â
If no, put on clean clothes that arenât PJs. Give yourself permission to wear something special, whether itâs a funny t-shirt or a pretty dress.Â
If nighttime: are you sleepy and fatigued but resisting going to sleep?Â
Put on PJs, make yourself cozy in bed with a teddy bear and the sound of falling rain, and close your eyes for fifteen minutes while focusing on breathing deeper with every breath- no electronic screens allowed! Adequate sleep is a necessity for stress management.Â
Do you feel ineffective?Â
Pause right now and get something small completed, whether itâs responding to an email, loading the dishwasher, or tidying up your room. Good job!
Do you feel unattractive?Â
Take a darn selfie. Your friends will remind you how great you look. You are always insta-worthy.Â
Do you feel paralyzed by indecision?
Give yourself ten minutes to sit back and figure out a game plan for the day. If a particular decision or problem is still being a roadblock, simply set it aside for now, and pick something else that seems doable. Right now, the important part is to break through that stasis, even if it means doing something trivial.Â
Have you over-exerted yourself latelyâphysically, emotionally, socially, or intellectually?Â
That can take a toll that lingers for days. Give yourself a break in that area, whether itâs physical rest, taking some time alone, or relaxing with some silly entertainment for a little. Time spent refreshing yourself is never time âwasted!âÂ
Have you waited a week?Â
Sometimes or perception of life is skewed, and we canât even tell that weâre not thinking clearly, and thereâs no obvious external cause. It happens. Keep yourself going for a full week, whatever it takes, and see if you still feel the same way then.Â
Youâve made it this far; and you will make it through. You are stronger than you think.
Because someone might need this today
