#schizo system

I came across a tiktok stating that schizo/psychotic spectrum people would loose grey brain matter if they don't take antipsychotics.

That seemed extremely odd to me so I took my time and actually read those papers and listened to clinicians talking about the side effects of antipsychotics. Funnily enough it's not the disorder that causes most of the loss of grey brain matter, there is some grey matter you loose with the onset of the symptoms (as most disorders cause a shift in your brain) but most of the loss and shrinkage of your brain is actually caused by taking long term antipsychotics.

I hate how psychotic people get treated when they don't want to take meds. I don't care about fitting in society, I don't really mind my schizophrenia symptoms. The people around me can handle me perfectly fine, and most importantly I can handle myself perfectly fine without meds that make me into a sedated robot.

Thank you delusions of persecution, I will now combat this with my headmate who has delusions of grandiosity and erotomania.

"Schizo's need medicine", "The only reliable treatment is antipsychotics", "You will go crazy without antipsychotics", ...

How about you shut the fuck up? Most schizophrenics or schizospec people I knew throughout my life were forced on antipsychotics or locked up. The other half of those people were extremely careful about what they tell people, they wouldn't talk about their hallucinations or delusions and would often receive the misdiagnosis of depression because these symptoms were the only ones doctors would see.

How does it even come to your mind that pushing pills down someone's throat or injecting them would be helpful to someone who's suspicious and paranoid? That's just gonna induce paranoia and make them go off their meds as soon as possible. Trust me I did the same.

Why isn't the first treatment option compassion, support and talk therapy instead? Psychotic episodes are also most often not chronic so if you wait for the person to be able to integrate the reality with their perception it will be easier to help them through than to force them on sedative meds.

Schizo's need community and support, not meds that make them worse.

headmate talk

so anyway gojo represents my schizo fairy idgaf aura and nanika/alluka are the beneficial people pleasing ones who want to be nice to everyone. maruki is the i can fix her and him and them and us and we infinitely manic pixie dream therapist guy. futaba and yusuke together become an evil keyword farming fairy chud when im having a mania or psychosis episode but usually they're chill when separate. Yusuke is an art teacher and Futaba is a queen larper. I'm Hisoka/gon when I'm self actualized, I'm Gon when I'm small and innocent, and I'm Hisoka when I have to act like an adult but like im an asexual pervert about it ykwim. I'm Bisky when I view people as diamonds in the rough that need a little bit of shaping, but I don't want to own them and neither does she. To us, everyone is just little genderless intersex boygirlthings pretending to be adults. We're lesbians. We don't touch our students, and neither does Byleth/Sothis.

I'm Madoka when I'm a high priestess shooting down the egos of people with guilt and shame in their soul gems who are about to turn into witches. I'm Phosphophyllite when I'm recording the natural world as I see it and keeping a mental encyclopedia. Phos evolves into Shizuku when they become a librarian. So, I'm an internet archivist. Weak, too. I could break so easily, and yet I don't. Why? My body changed.

I'm Ellie when someone has induced the wrath/lust of a manic thunder goddess in me. Ellie is related closely to Celty from Drrr who is also in there. Ellie's best friend is Curie, who still needs time to cook in my headworld. These two are ocs.

I have way more headmates, practically infinite because im an autowriter. id love to talk about them more so people can get to know me haha
