fellow narcissists, sociopaths, and psychopaths,

we're going to hear those words being thrown around a lot over the next few years. more than we already do, which is not an insubstantial amount. i want you to remember that you are not monsters, or fascists, or scum.

as more and more people throw around diagnoses they do not care to understand and words that they do not see as harmful, i want you all to remember that you are not alone and that the entire world is not against you.

there are people out there who care and understand and are not afraid. you are not alone, and you are not unloved.

dont let them make you fearful of yourself, you deserve so much better than that.

stay safe

I see this a lot in leftist circles but mental illness, trauma and abuse will exist with or without capitalism, your “mental illness is a social phenomenon” might be true for your depression and your anxiety but I beg all of you to think about psychotic people, systems and people with personality disorders when you make posts like that. It might be true that we wouldn’t be labeled as mentally ill but we would still need resources to help us cope, there’s still something we would need help coping with and you should focus on making that help available and accessible and free of bigotry for all of us instead of living in a “no mentally ill people” pseudo progressive eugenicist dream.

Personally, living with ASPD is like trying to defuse a bomb, if you're successful you accomplish 1 [one] positive or at least neutral interaction with another person or creature.

If you do not succeed at defusing the bomb, results may vary.

Regardless the explosive devices never cease to respawn at any time and sometimes that's all a bit too much to handle.

If you or someone you know has ASPD, please be aware that it can sometimes take a great deal of effort for us to perform or even comprehend what most would call "common decency" because we were never taught or shown how to respectfully interact with others as a result of childhood abuse, neglect, and/or trauma.

It does not excuse any damage done, however it is important to understand this if you are an ally.

We are learning.

Healing from trauma takes time.

Please do be patient.

So so so so so so so SO frustrating when other ND people are ableist to you for having a more stigmatised mental disorder and/or set of symptoms. Esp when it’s someone close to you!

I’m relatively sensitive to people around me seeing me as a monster. When I was younger and wasn’t as good at dealing with (and also masking) having low/no empathy, it used to happen a lot. Especially because I’m autistic and often wouldn’t know what was acceptable to do or say. So now when it happens it really affects me.

And the other day I made a teasing joke, and my sibling (ADHD) looked at me and said something along the lines of, “yeah, you’d get it if you actually had any empathy.” And, like, that might be true on a technical level, but… idk.

If you actually looked at the way I act day-to-day, 99% of the time, I’m leagues less hurtful than empaths are. Because other things impact your ability to do harm. And even if I was a person who couldn’t stop hurting everyone around me, that wouldn’t make my life worth any less. It would just mean that I would need more support.

Stigmatising ‘scary’ symptoms isn’t helpful. It’s just ableism. Hypoempathic people need just as much help dealing with their symptoms as people with sensory sensitivities. People with delusions need just as much help dealing with their symptoms as people with anxiety issues.

Me, holding my cluster b rage spikes on a leash: I'm calm and I don't actually think I'm all that angry a person

Someone disagreeing with me when they're wrong:

Me, holding the leash tighter: Ah,

[folie--maniaco-melancolique]

anyways if your reaction to a post talking about how stigmatized certain disorders are and demonizing them is wrong, is to say 'well I knew people with that diagnosis and they were awful', congrats, die
