Schizospec Culture is...

Culture-is blog for anyone on the schizo-spectrum. Asks open! --- Disclaimer: If you respond to someone who is clearly distressed and talking about delusions or paranoia they have with anything like "you SHOULD be scared", "you're not delusional this is true" or anything similar, you will be blocked. This is not safe behaviour, please do not encourage NEGATIVE delusions on this page. We can't know the ins and outs of every askers experiences, or what their boundaries are around reality checking or encouraging unless they specify in the ask. So do NOT encourage thoughts that are clearly upsetting the asker. You can relate, share similar experiences, but do not tell people they should be afraid or similar.

Welcome!

Welcome to schizospec-culture-is! We’re a blog for anyone with a related disorder to submit asks starting with something along the lines of “schizophrenic culture is” or “schizoaffective culture is”, similar to other blogs such as plural-culture-is! Questioning and self-dxed people are welcome!

This includes all disorders along the schizo-spectrum, including schizophrenia, schizoid PD, schizotypal PD, schizoaffective disorder, and more. You’re also welcome to submit asks with subjects such as “psychotic culture is” or “delusional culture is”--you’re welcome here even if you don’t have a diagnosis and just wish to relate via your symptoms.

We are diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder (bipolar type) and seeing the lack of blogs for people with disorders like us, we made this. Our queue lasts about 40-50 days, so if your post doesn’t go up quickly, that’s why!

A few rules:

1. No hateful asks. Asks about how much you hate x group or anything similar will be deleted--this isn’t the blog for that. You can post about community issues to a degree, but starting discourse isn’t allowed and will be deleted from the ask box at our discretion.

2. Anyone on the schizo-spectrum can send in asks, as well as anyone with psychotic symptoms or those who have other symptoms common of those on the schizo-spectrum. You do not need a diagnosis to send asks.

3. LGBT-phobia, ableism, racism and anything else similar will not be posted here. You will be blocked and your ask will be deleted.

4. Asks spreading misinformation will be deleted at our discretion. This is referring to anything about schizo-spec disorders as well as other communities outside of that.

5. We will NOT tolerate anyone who believes certain disorders make anyone inherently “evil”, “abusive” or “harmful”. This includes NPD, ASPD, DID, BPD, etc, and any other disorder.

Tw delusions

Schizo-spec culture is believing you're a demon which possessed the body instead of a person but still going about your day as normal

Psychotic culture is wanting to tell your loved ones that you have a psychotic disorder, but being afraid to. Not because of shame but because youll have to explain to them that no, psychotic does not mean "horror movie serial killer evil guy."

schizospec culture is being mortified of the idea of dating someone who isn't also schizospec because you experience socialization & dopamine (lack thereof? x2) in a non normative way that is barely enough to maintain a friendship, but still wanting companionship anyways

Schizophrenic culture is having a phobia of themed food based on characters or people. What would happen if I ate it?? Would they die??? Am I killing them via indirect cannibalism??? You’ve had it explained “no,” but you really, really cannot shake the thought.

Schizophrenic culture is chasing after your cat at a train station and trying to pick her up—only her her to vanish and you to realize you’re across the planet away from her, and people are looking at you cradling nothing.

schizospec culture is "why am I acting like this- ohhhh"

psychotic (with varying degrees of being able to recognise if its a delusion or not) culture is when my friends tell me BSE outbreak lasted until 2001 i got super freaked out and then i remembered im psychotic and their reality is not my objectively better reality so i has to explain "sorry about the freakout lol its always the 2000s for me". sorry if this reads more like an anecdote my autism is being weird so i may have forgotten how to send an ask to a culture-is blog

Questioning schizospec culture is being sort of cotard's but not really. Like I live life assuming I'm dead and get surprised when smth reminds me that I'm not. Also genuinely fully believing I was a vampire for a good few years when I was younger.

Schizospec culture is always get mad at yourself for various reasons

-

[schizospec-culture-is]

Psychotic with depression (& chronic fatigue) culture is getting delusions something you did is bad or that there’s something bad happening that you could fix, but being too tired and depressed to change it bc it takes too much energy. Still scared shitless & im convinced this bad thing is happening/going to happen but fuck i dont have the energy for this. And I just kinda resign myself to the impending doom

[delusion description] has happened multiple times, but for one example… a bit ago i was convinced every single thing i typed or did on a device was being tracked and record by ai and sent to the government, and there were things i could do to try to stop it… but i was just. So tired. Like “fuck it i guess the government knows everything i say and is gonna publicly execute me because im queer. Oh well, sucks but i dont have the energy to stop it. Guess ill die”

schizospec culture is unintentionally clocking something a friend/loved one says/does as a symptom of psychosis and/or delusions, but they seem genuinely unaware & have very little knowledge of psychology in general, and wanting to tell them so that we can work thru it together but being afraid of scaring them or accidentally pushing them away...

-

[schizospec-culture-is]

schizoaffective culture is being brave enough to change medications but the phone keeps ringing…and ringing… even though the phone is out of the room. Even when I see the blank screen. It won’t stop ringing

-

[schizospec-culture-is]

Schizotypal culture is why are my emotions shared? Like psychically shared. it's always perturbing.

[schizospec-culture-is]
