Lauren here I'm reading The Collected Schitzophrenias by Esme Weijun Wang I thought the highlighted passage was quite good.

[Image ID: A kindle screenshot with highlighted text "In the language of cancer, people describe a thing that "invades" them so that they can then "battle" the cancer. No one ever says that a person is cancer, or that they have become cancer, but they do say that a person is manic-depressive or schitzophrenic, once those illnesses have taken hold. ]

Vita carnis has genuinely ruined my mind because my bran found the mimic so fucking disturbing that I keep seeing it everywhere, I can't sleep, I can't drive, I can't stay out late

I feel like I'm losing my fucking mind

Goodwill never disappoints

(I am schizophrenic, I never intend to wear this in public, the cashier looked at me weird when i laid this on the desk, and i also bought a miniature version of the statue of David along with this)

I feel like there should be a space where people can express the socially unaccepted symptoms of psychosis without anyone judging them.

I really want to type “I’m being watched” 50 times to express my thoughts, but I’m worried about the judgement.

I know psychosis overall is extremely stigmatized, but especially these symptoms. Long rambling messages about your delusions and expressing how scared you are of your hallucinations feel especially bad because they scare some people.

I don’t know what the point of this post was, but I wanted to get it out

So, when I first found out I was a jaguar, I was very concerned. What would this mean for the other parts of my identity? (e.g. being genderfluid, being bi, etc.) But, something has happened. I had a vague dream about being a female jaguar, and finding a male jaguar, and now I'm pregnant with jaguar cubs. I'm not exactly sure of the logistics, and I only came to this realization about a week ago, but I tried to force myself into denying it. It was more of a slow realization, and I've also been feeling the urge to set up a small, private area to have my cubs in, and have been getting more defensive of my personal space (like my room). Please do not reality check me, because it only makes me believe in my cubs more. I am very excited to see what they look like, and how they'll grow.
