psa to everyone on antipsychotics during the summertime

some antipsychotics can make you more susceptible to heat exhaustion because they make it so your body cannot regulate your body temperature correctly. I learned this the hard way last summer, I got really nasty heat exhaustion while on a high dose of quetiapine. so check if your meds react badly to heat, and if they do, please be sure to wear your sunscreen, have light cover ups on or with you, wear a hat, and stay hydrated! be safe

the idea that your friends won't like you if you're too weird is wrong for example one time I told a friend whenever I was losing my mind I laid down on the floor under my desk and stared at it until I was better and next time she visited me she taped a bag of salami snacks to the underside of my desk with a message saying "going insane all by yourself, handsome?" which I only saw months later when I had a breakdown. that's friendship.

“Suicidal feelings are not the same as giving up on life. Suicidal feelings often express a powerful and overwhelming need for a different life. Suicidal feelings can mean, in a desperate and unyielding way, a demand for something new. Listen to someone who is suicidal and you often hear a need for change so important, so indispensable, that they would rather die than go on living without the change. And when the person feels powerless to make that change happen, they become suicidal. Help comes when the person identifies the change they want and starts to believe it can actually happen. Whether it is overcoming an impossible family situation, making a career or study change, standing up to an oppressor, gaining relief from chronic physical pain, igniting creative inspiration, feeling less alone, or beginning to value their self worth, at the root of suicidal feelings is often powerlessness to change your life – not giving up on life itself.”

Sometimes a post calls you out, and sometimes it calls you out by name.

This post not only called me out by name, it used the middle name for good measure.

Just a note about psychiatric hospital stays.

I think people who haven’t ever been before often misunderstand the purpose of a psychiatric hospital stay. I think people tend to think it is a place to go to get treatment, but it isn’t. 

Psychiatric hospital stays have one purpose–stabilization. They are not meant to provide long term treatment. They are meant for people in an acute crisis situation who cannot be safe on their own. They will keep you there only long enough to get you out of that crisis.

If you are looking for long term treatment and think you need a higher level of care than individual or group outpatient therapy, what you want to look for is Residential treatment. 

Inpatient (psych hospital) stays are usually between 3 and 14 days long at most. Residential stays are usually months long. Inpatient may or may not offer group therapy sessions. Residential will give you group therapy, process groups, individual therapy, psychiatry, and maybe more (like equine or art therapy). 

There are also other levels of care, such as partial hospitalization (PHP–think day program) and intensive outpatient (IOP–think lots of group therapy). 

Psych hospitals serve a very specific purpose and (although your milage may vary) are somewhat good at that one thing–keeping you physically safe in a time of crisis. But if you want actual treatment, you are probably not going to get it there. 

If you are in crisis and cannot keep yourself safe, by all means go to the ER! But if you are just desperate for longer term treatment that will help you get your life together and feel better long term, look into residential, PHP, or IOP. 

Good luck! Stay safe!

self isolating to cope is great until you look up one day and years have passed and you realise no one knew you when you were 18 or 19 or 20 or 21 and now they never will

[girlsmoonsandstars]

the great thing about un-isolating yourself is that you can literally start making friends whenever you want, and most people will continue to do so through the rest of their lives. you will meet new people at 28 and 37 and 43 and 56 and 61 and 72 and 85 and 94 who will love you.

you will spend the rest of your life meeting people who will love you.

[thoradvice]

this isn’t all that there is!!! there are sunsets you haven’t seen, people you haven’t met, things you haven’t learned, food you haven’t tried, and places you haven’t visited. life is so much more than what you’re experiencing right now, and there will always be new things coming. there’s so much more out there for you!!

Hey so I was looking for schizophrenia support servers on disboard and found some bullshit so im making a psa!

TW!! PARANOIA INDUCING IMAGES AHEAD

I was scrolling for new support servers when I came across one that looked like this

If you see this server DO NOT JOIN IT!! Its a troll server meant to trick psychotic ppl into joining just to trigger delusions and paranoia. As soon as you join youre greeted with a text channel youre unable to type in with this repeated message

Theres no other channel. This is the whole server. Please if you see this on disboard, report it asap and DO NOT CLICK JOIN.

This shit is why non psychotics need to stand with us. The internet is getting too comfortable purposely triggering psychosis for the lols. If you arent psychotic and witness people doing shit like this or making those ableist as fuck “schizoposting” memes about how theyre going all violent from psychosis, CALL IT OUT.

ITS. NOT. FUNNY.

Never was, never will be. Psychosis isnt something to fuck around with. It isnt a game. Shit like this could easily get people hurt or killed.

Thats all, please stay safe yall!

And to all my fellow schizospec ppl, ur loved and ur safe 💕
