schizospec communities with rules like "don't encourage shared delusions" piss me off because it makes the community hostile to people without double bookkeeping abilities. not everyone can recognize that their delusions are delusions and even if they can it's not usually as simple as that sounds.
if someone starts talking about one of my delusions my reaction will be "finally someone who understands the truth!" even if I know that most people think that my belief is a delusion because it doesn't feel like a delusion. it feels true. that's the whole idea behind delusions. you believe they're true. if you don't believe they're true, it's not a delusion.
I avoid communities like that because they're unwelcoming to so many people on the schizospec, including me. I don't want to be berated for having a psychotic episode in a community for people who experience psychotic episodes. that would also definitely spiral out of control. telling me that my delusion is a delusion makes me defensive because you're doing the equivalent of insisting the sky isn't blue and telling me I can't talk about the sky being blue.
it's creating a community for only the most neurotypical-passing schizospec people and that's fucked up.
if you're running a schizospec community you have to accept that people will be delusional there. if you can't handle running a community where people will be delusional then don't run a community for a group of people where the vast majority experience delusions.

“you’re just sensitive, i’m not being ableist!”
oh okay! so whenever you experience transmisogyny, i’m going to say, “you’re just sensitive, they aren’t being transmisogynistic!” (and before any of you try to come at me, i’m tma too)
see how that works? yeah, so fucking respect disabled people asshole, especially when you’re talking about “transfeminism.” you excluding disabled trans women from your so-called “transfeminism” is really just you being reactionary and showing that you’re just larping as a transfeminist.
the instagram algorithm has figured out my real name and keeps showing me videos making jokes about "selling [corvid] to the black market for money"
this is bad for my brain
lovely lovely psychotic people of the internet, how do you feel about posts that say "this is your sign to do [action]"?
I don't like these kinds of posts, they can trigger my psychosis
I don't like these kinds of posts for other reasons
I feel neutrally about these kinds of posts
It really depends on the context (share!)
I like these kinds of posts
I have another nuanced opinion
I am apsychotic so this poll does not apply to me
feel free to share your thoughts and opinions on these kinds of posts!
I'm also sure that these posts affect some people with OCD so the lovely lovely OCD havers on the internet (or havers of a similar condition) are welcome to share their opinions too- just don't vote in the poll (you're not derailing!)
sooooo my psychiatrist doubled my haldol dose (16 mg/day now), and i don’t want to jinkx myself, but i really think this might actually work? idk… lemme simmer for a few days
update: … i’ve been nodding off all morning, and it usually takes my body around two weeks to settle down with regards to the “zombie-esque” state, so that’s fun 🫠 i’m literally bombarding my body with caffeine, desperately attempting to stay awake and work on german
