Hey, here's how I transitioned to having Cotard's Syndrome!

1. I had d3ath on my mind as often as possible. If I wasn't preoccupied, I was thinking about d3ath.

2. I consumed a LOT of d3ath related content. Reddit's r/medicalgore, horror movies, researching how d3ath works, etc!

3. I created a blog where I presented as ciscotards and interacted with other people with it, which fed into the already developing belief.

4. When I was laying down, I imagined that that was the pose I d1ed in.

5. I kept reaffirming that I was d3ad, rationalizing how my heart could still be beating if i was d3ad, etc.

6. I would make myself feel/look dead. Makeup, cold baths, rubbing dirt on myself, etc.

,, I am bored so here are some tips for trans cotards folks as someone who is natal cotards syndrome '' ,, All are from my own experiences with psychosis — It will not be the same for everyone ''

,, Appetite loss — I often do not eat when I'm in psychosis as dead bodies don't need food. My delusions and hallucinations also pertain to bugs inside of me, so I can be convinced to eat if it's "to provide more for the bugs." Odd 'logic' but it works. Please be careful if you choose to do this. ''

,, Try telling yourself that prickling feelings on your skin are bugs crawling over your decaying body, I imagine this can help simulate hallucinations ''

,, Talk less — I tend to withdraw socially when I am psychotic, I become extremely paranoid and distrustful of medical figures or anyone who tells me it's psychosis; I am unable to recognise it as 'not real' and insist that it is. ''

,, Stay up late — Long periods of time without sleep can cause hallucinations. ''

,, For now this is all I have '' ,, Please feel free to ask me questions '' ,, Take care in your decisions and be responsible — Know any possible side effects and downsides to harmful behaviours, etc etc. Just covering my bases over here ''

[transidtips]

can i have transcotards tips?

@tdotbh

yes!! ive been thinking about transitioning to have cotards as well hehe :3c

link link link

have some tips of my own as well ^_^

under cut

1. convince yourself that you are dead, when you look in the mirror, you see a rotting and dead body

2. when you “feel pain,” convince yourself that you do not feel it :3 (please do this safely! not feeling pain can be very dangerous… >_<)

3. try fasting if its an available option for you, as dead people and immortals dont have to eat. (of course, please do this safely. i am not trying to advocate for self harm!! :0 )

i hope this helps hehe :P

i feel like if i get into any intimate relationship with somebody they gotta be some flavor of zoo/necro. like you gotta accept that youre kissing the corpse of a dog. you are holding hands with a dead body. you are cuddling with a wolfdog. cant pull some shit like "oh well you LOOK human/i still see you as human" no no. im a dead dog. deal with it or get out

Transcotards (subtypes).

(in order)

Type 1: “Pure” Cotard’s Syndrome (Psychotic Type).

(🌀🧟‍♂️) "TransPsychoticCotards / TransPureCotards" ; Characterized by nihilistic delusions, meaning the person denies the existence of their own body, organs, or life, there’s no significant depression or mood disorder — it’s mainly a psychotic delusion, often linked to neurological conditions (like brain injury, epilepsy, or stroke), emotional tone can be flat — not necessarily sad, but detached from reality.

Example: A patient insists they died two weeks ago and that doctors are lying when they say they’re alive.

Type 2: Depressive or Melancholic Cotard’s Syndrome.

(🌧🧟‍♂️) "TransDepressiveCotards / TransMelancholicCotards" ; This is the most common form, It occurs together with severe depression or psychotic depression: the nihilistic delusions appear alongside intense sadness, guilt, and hopelessness, deep emotional suffering, loss of motivation, appetite, and energy, possible suicidal thoughts or self-neglect, because the person feels they no longer exist.

Example: A severely depressed person believes their organs have stopped working and refuses to eat because “the dead don’t need food.”

Type 3: Mixed Cotard’s Syndrome (With Other Psychotic Symptoms).

(🌊🧟‍♂️) "TransMixedCotards" ; Combines Cotard-like delusions with other types of psychosis such as: paranoid delusions, grandiose delusions, hallucinations or disorganized thinking. Often associated with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or neurological illness. May alternate between believing they are dead and having other psychotic beliefs, emotional expression varies: sometimes detached, sometimes anxious or agitated.

Example: A person says they are both dead and being controlled by external forces who keep their “corpse” moving.
