transschizophrenia transition tips

transschizophrenia transition tips

From a person with schizophrenia

I wanna start this by sayin I don't ever encourage hurtin others in yer pursuit of transitioning, so please be responsible. Won't be usin my usual cadence fer this fer accessibility. Onto the tips

Schizophrenia is a complex disorder that is characterized by delusions, hallucinations, disordered speech, disorganized or catatonic behavior and negative symptoms, and you only need a couple to qualify, but I honestly recommend looking into the less well known symptoms too. I'll be going over what these mean and what they mean for your transition.

First things first: schizophrenia starts manifesting in late teens to early adulthood.

If you're between the ages of around 19-25 you're at the prime age for this, but there's also such things as childhood onset schizophrenia which can manifest before 13, and between 13-18 is considered early onset schizophrenia.

Basically, you can develop it at any time, but it's not nearly as common in minors. Keep this in mind when it comes to transition timing.

Okay onto symptoms!!!

Delusions: delusions are deeply engrained false beliefs that cannot be shaken even when provided proof. I just wanna start this by saying... Many are really fucking mundane.

One of the reasons I didn't notice sooner was because none of them actually impacted my behavior, it was just "oh the world is a simulation, anyways I wonder what I'll do for dinner" or "everyone around me is fake but that's fine I still love them".

This isn't always the case of course, but keep that in mind.

Encourage absurdist or magical thinking, focus on tricking yourself into believing things you would otherwise disregard as irrational. Defend these false beliefs and refuse to change your mind even when others provide evidence contrary.

Some common places to start are: the world is a simulation, someone in my life isn't real (capgras delusion) (make sure the recipient is consenting please), the people in my life want to hurt/kill me and are conspiring against me (persecutory delusions), I have magical powers others don't such as future vision or am being followed by a magical entity (optional: I can't tell others about it because it will endanger them), someone is trying to send me messages through mundane media like the news or online posts, etc.

Hallucinations: hallucinations are simply experiencing sensations through any of the senses that aren't actually there.

Unless paired with delusions, people who experience hallucinations are often able to pick them out as hallucinations. Imagine yourself seeing, hearing, feeling, smelling or tasting things that aren't there.

You can practice with actual sensations like using a feather on your skin while not looking or having someone else do it then taking it away when you look, or using strong scents and imagining the source not being there.

Very common hallucinations are: shadow people (often in the corner of your vision), feeling like bugs are crawling on you, sounds of banging or opening/closing doors when nobody is awake/around, or seeing horrors beyond your imagination doing mundane things (/silly).

Disordered speech: this isn't nearly as talked about when discussing schizophrenia, at least not by name. It's kindly referred to as "word salad" but it can also be classed as a thought disorder. You can practice speaking with different types and seeing what feels most right for you.

There are way too many types to list here, so I really recommend doing your own research, but some common types are: replacing words with similar sounding ones or using incorrect versions of words, loose word association that can sound like regular speech but when listening closely it makes no sense, not being able to speak at all, or talking in extreme abstracts and metaphors that might only make sense to you.

Disorganized or catatonic behavior: there are two extremes here: acting out violently, strangely, or inappropriately- or not acting at all.

Catatonic behavior is self explanatory, it can be things like not moving at all, being very easy to physically move and manipulate during these periods or the opposite of resisting all movement, being unaware of the world around you, etc.

Disorganized behavior is a bit more abstract, though. It consists of aggressive or childlike behavior, pacing or making bizarre facial expressions, having a flat affect which I'll talk about more in a bit, etc.

You can practice any of these on your own and exhibit them around others once you get the hang of it.

Finally, negative symptoms: this one is a bit odd, since it can often be mistaken for depression or ADHD symptoms.

It consists of struggling to manage and keep up with daily tasks, keeping a clean environment, significant changes in sleeping habits, poor hygiene, lack of motivation, and more.

One thing with this is a blunted or flat affect which is the inability to emote physically strongly or at all, like having a monotone voice and not smiling.

You can practice this in a mirror or with someone willing to help you transition and point out when you emote.

You're already there with the rest if you experience depression, honestly.

Uhmm I hope this was helpful! It's based on my experiences for the most part

Can you do a tip on Trans-Schizophrenic, I’m only getting the basic stuff from google and need some more research to help me!

It’d be AMAZING if you could, of course you don’t have to but it’d be appreciated if you could!

TransSchizophrenia Tips!:

Pretend to see things that aren't there! Glance in random directions occasionally with a confused/panicked expression, and then continue what you were doing like nothing happened. Try to avoid looking in that area for a bit as if you're "scared it might know you noticed".

Second guess everything around you. "Are those my real parents/siblings/friends?", "What if they were replaced by someone?", "They're working against me/using me for something.", "they know something I don't.", "the people on the TV are laughing at me.", "the people outside talk about me when they get home.", etc...

Speak without much structure! Move from one thought to the next without smoothly transitioning, ramble about theories you have or other random "nonsensical" things! They need to know you know the truth. Speak "illogically" about things.

Do "strange" actions. Random motor movements that are repetitive (like tapping your thumbs or fingers in a very specific order), or speak without moving your body at all, or the inverse! Do tasks silently, don't speak at all and don't look at anyone when doing things.

Don't show emotion when conversing as much. Make blank, emotionless, intense eye contact. Or, don't make eye contact at all. Speak with irregular tones, or with no tone at all. Try to sound stiff during conversation, like a robot.

Try to convince yourself out of doing tasks. CisSchizophrenics have low motivation to start or continue tasks (even simple ones!). Even ones they originally wanted to do.

Convince yourself that everyone you interact with doesn't actually enjoy your presence. Make social interactions as miserable as you can in your own mind. Make it unbearable to interact with people, to make you avoid them.

Try to get distracted when doing things. Lose focus randomly through dissociation, staring off at something, or getting in your own head about things (delusions, theories about things, etc...).

Forget things commonly or twist how things happened in your head. "That isn't how it actually happened.", "they were glaring at me", etc.. Also, try to take longer to respond or answer things. Think longer than most people would, try to predict every outcome of how they'll respond to things you say.

Overthink decisions, double check yourself every time you want to make a choice on something. Buying groceries? "What if the power goes out?", "What if we run out of [X]?", "What if something happens?", etc... Making food? "What if they poisoned this?", "This could cause me to have a heart attack/choke/drown/liver failure/something else", "What if I'm allergic to this and I don't know it yet?", etc...

When told directions/how to do something/instructions/ or any information. Try to second guess the information, or use it incorrectly. Directions? "What if I'm being led somewhere I shouldn't go?". How to do something? "This is too dangerous/risky (even if its mild)"

Remember, all of these symptoms are irregular in how intense/common they are. Don't do ALL of them if you aren't trying to simulate EXTREMELY debilitating schizophrenia. Select a few of em and go with that, letting others emerge as consequences of the original few. Sometimes, symptoms can be intense one day/hour/minute, and subtle the next. Sometimes, some symptoms aren't there at all for a day.

as a cisschizophrenic that used to id as transschizophrenic i think all transschizospecs and transpsychotics are awesome <3 its so awesome for you to see a highly stigmatized disorder(s) and still be like "actually i wish i was like that/im going to identify with that too" :o)

i hope all the transschizospecs, transpsychotics, transdelusionals, and other similar folk all have a great transition (if thats what you desire) 💞

transschizospec if you haven't already?

TRANSSCHIZOSPEC TIPS 𖦹

i am also transschizospec!!

i will separate this into categories: delusions, hallucinations, behaviors, emotions, and thinking

keep in mind these are all just symptoms and not every schizospec person experiences them all!! most probably dont experience all of them!!

delusions:

- a delusions is simply a fixed belief that doesnt change despite contradicting evidence. let your imagination run wild and then just gaslight yourself. eventually youll believe it.

- if you need more guidance, some common delusions are grandiose delusions (which i experienced), paranoid, erotomaniac (parasocial), somatic, and many more you can google.

- paranoia is very very common!! incorporate it!!

- look at the “how the delulu girls“ trend on tiktok!!

- whether or not you choose to talk to people about your delusion is up to you

hallucinations:

- honestly, make them up to gaslight yourself and/or manifest them

- draw whatever comes to mind and tell yourself its your hallucinations

- get sleep deprived!!

-watch things that make you anxious!!

- listen for small background noises and tell yourself its a hallucination

behaviors:

- periods of catatonia!! catatonia is a state where someone is awake but not responding to other people or maybe their environment. it may occur in the form of repetitive odd gestures, holding strange positions, mimicking others, or not moving at all. not every schizospec person experiences catatonia!!!!

- disorganized speech!! this is pretty much just word salads but with whatever and also with some garbled speech so ill make an example of this one no thank you i dont have the free time for that but yournrnnn you cna ask ted..if you wnt because hes to contamnnated to do that (but do that while talking)

- do repetitive movements and do things in patterns

- be impulsive

- schizophrenics tend to socially isolate

- be disorganized!! wear mismatch clothes (thats a thing with schizophrenics), have a messy room, etc.

emotions:

- apathy is common among schizophrenics and interestingly enough, so are heightened emotions!! sometimes just not react to things and SOMETIMES REALLY REACT!!

- anxiety is also very common

- paranoia!! what if everyone can read your mind? what if they know youre a terrible person? there are people watching you. where are they?

- inappropriate emotional responses!! such as laughing when something bad happens or crying over something really small. this ties in with heightened emotions.

thinking:

- disorganized thoughts!! this is pretty much just word salads but with whatever and also with some garbled speech so ill make an example of this one no thank you i dont have the free time for that but yournrnnn you cna ask ted..if you wnt because hes to contamnnated to do that (but do that while talking)

- memory issues!!

- inability to process social cues!! that means not getting the hint when someone is talking to you or not getting the hint someone needs to be comforted, for example.

- attention deficit!! struggle to focus on things and zone out a lot
