Anyway this disability pride month I would like to shoutout disabled folks whose creativity has suffered because of their condition. I’m talking people with hand tremors and pain that stop them from drawing, knitting, and playing instruments. People whose thinking has become so disorganized that nothing they write makes sense to other people. People with chronic pain who can no longer dance. People so over medicated in a fruitless attempt to maintain stability that the wells of their imagination have run dry.
I see you and I love you. You are more than your creative output. You are not a shell of what you used to be. You are a whole, complete person, regardless of what your creativity has been, is now, or will be in the future.
needed this today
genuinely curious pls respond
people always say that internet spaces are americanised because the users are majority americans.
and i do always wonder how much of that is "there are actually a majority of usamericans" and how much is "usamerican cultural markers are a default for many online spaces, and non usamericans are often indistinguishable from usamericans unless you're actively looking".
so here's an incredibly unscientific poll reblog for reach or whatever
where do you live?
in the usa
anywhere that is not the usa
no nuance. if you live in a usa territory/colony like puerto rico or guam or american samoa, go with your heart.
additional poll, what the hell:
is english your first/native language?
yes, english is the main language i grew up speaking
yes, but i also grew up speaking another language(s)/i'm bilingual
no, i learned english as a second or additional language
Don't leave your friends and even acquaintances to go to the hospital alone. If they don't have someone already going with them and don't explicitly tell you they don't want you there, go to advocate for them. Outcomes for sick people change dramatically when they have someone else there to observe doctors (making them know they can't get away with negligence) and note symptoms from an outside perspective.
Going to the hospital is scary and even someone totally unprepared to be a medical advocate or physical support will be better than nothing, purely from their presence. You can grab food, be there with your phone to search if theirs dies, go in search of a doctor, distract them from pain or discomfort... go with them.
Disability pride month PSA that schizophrenia and related disorders often starts to present in your mid 20s, so if things have been getting harder, life is less manageable, you feel less and less connected to reality, don't be afraid to get an assessment. It is not life ending, and living as someone with schizophrenia is worthwhile!!! It is a neurodivergence like any other, one that is disabling but doesn't make you less human. Getting early screenings and treatment is shown to give better outcomes for patients!!

person with schizophrenia here adding that I’ve seen so much fear surrounding this diagnosis, people saying it turns your life into a nightmare or a hellscape or removes your personality and turns you into a husk, and I want to say that’s not true and definitely isn’t true if you have good access to medical support. medicated schizophrenics are some of the coolest and most creative people I know who are able to live fulfilling lives outside of the expectations and constrictions of “mainstream society”. the way people with autism and adhd are just kind of known for doing their own thing and finding their own happiness applies to people with schizophrenia too (I also know some people who are completely indistinguishable from a neurotypical person to an outside observer, because it’s a spectrum).
chipping in as a schizophrenic in its 30s:
my most alarming symptoms started almost right after i graduated high school (age 18). i instantly started to become more withdrawn and reclusive. i had maybe 2 friends and i struggled to socialize with them and anyone else. i started struggling more with insomnia. i started becoming more and more convinced that other people could read my mind. i would be catatonic for sometimes hours.
for many years in my 20s, i became convinced i was a fallen angel punished by god. i have never been a christian in my life. i'm still not one. i also started believing i was God, that I could control the outcome of things. i had an 8 hour long psychotic episode where i was convinced that a character from a video game was in my house trying to kill me. i was and still am unbearably paranoid.
if i hadn't been diagnosed with schizophrenia in 2017, i would have never known why these things were happening to me, and worse, i may have believed some of my more dangerous delusions. i ended up starting antipsychotic medication and its been a huge game changer for me. not every schizophrenic person needs to be on medication, but it changed my life for the better. i'm definitely glad i'm in care for my schizophrenia now
i can actually sleep. i'm not scared shitless every single day. i'm not convinced there things in my house trying to hurt me. if you're dealing with things like this, it's okay to seek help. you're not alone. psychosis is stigmatized but its a real problem many people deal with. you shouldn't have to suffer in silence. you deserve to know if this is what's going on with you, and where to go from there.
my schizophrenia isn't and wasn't a death sentence. my quality of life has improved significantly what i found out was going on, and how to cope with it and ease my symptoms. it's okay to be schizophrenic. that's just how our brains are mapped. we deserve to live happy lives, we are not "doomed" or "lost causes" or "too crazy". we're people
I'm diagnosed as scizoaffective. I have benign hallucinations almost everyday. It started when I went away to college at 17 and I had scary episodes of psychosis. I was treated for depression and anxiety but no one addressed my hallucinations/psychosis until my mid-20s. I'm not currently on anti-psychotics but I have been in the past when my symptoms increase, change, or become scary. Medication is a helpful tool to use when needed but I quite like my benign hallucinations and I'd miss them if they were gone.
puttering around the house is an underrated form a self-care. make some tea or coffee. put on a podcast. sort the mail. tidy some pillows and fold some blankets. start the laundry. thaw some soup. just casually wander around aimlessly doing little things to make your space and life a little nicer. who cares if you get distracted or only do a little. you aren't being productive. you're puttering.
My life has gotten measurably better since I reframed the period from 3-4 pm as “puttering hour”. No it’s not me avoiding work or failing to force myself to concentrate during my mid afternoon slump. It’s puttering hour.

Ribbon around the wrist. Passively trick your brain to help process the urge/emotions/thoughts. And look/feel pretty/artsy/magical/whatever while doing it
y'all need to relearn the word erratic and stop using schizophrenic/bipolar/psychotic as a replacement
y'all need to relearn the word particular and stop using ocd as a replacement
IT IS TIME TO BITE BACK. IT IS TIME TO CRAWL OUT OF THE GROUND AND CLAW YOUR LIFE BACK INTO YOUR HANDS. DO NOT GIVE UP NOW. YOU'VE ALREADY MADE IT THIS FAR. YOU DO NOT KNOW THE VERSION OF YOURSELF YOU WILL BECOME ONE DAY.
GET UP. GO FORWARD. FAKE IT UNTIL YOU MAKE IT BUT DO NOT REJECT HELP. THE PERSON YOU WILL BECOME ONE DAY IS HIDING INSIDE OF YOU AND YOU HAVE TO FIND THEM.
LIVE. I AM NOT ASKING.
were you a bad kid or were you just a kid
“it could’ve been worse” ok and it also could’ve not happened to you
It always so funny
I have a break down, mental health is broken, and I'm told to "manage it"
And I can't explain
The fact I'm not [REDACTED] is me managing it.
Legit the only thing pushing me right now is cause I feel it's the only reason people will believe me.
btw if all you are doing as a physically disabled person is survive, you're worthy of being here as much as everyone else. even if you can't work, make art, or leave your home. even if you don't see anything beyond your bedroom and phone screen. even if you gain or lose weight, or your appearance otherwise changes because of your disability. even if you aren't awake or aware most of the time. you being here is enough to contribute to the world. i love you
psychosis needs to lose its negative connotation, its a thing that happens. you are far closer to psychotic episodes than you think and we need to all know how to deal with them properly
I always say that psychosis is a natural part of human experience or state of mind. And guess what, non psychotics get MAD when I say that. "No, its not natural or normal at all! Dont normalize it!" Guess what happens when you haven't slept in a few days? Psychosis. Guess what can happen when you're too stressed? Psychosis. Guess what can happen from physical conditions? Psychosis. Psychosis is the same type of normal that any other negative state of mind is. Someone experiencing depression due to circumstances? Normal. Someone dissociating during a stressful event? Normal. Psychosis isn't different. ANYONE can experience psychosis and it doesn't even have to be a disorder. Psychotic disorders are disorders due to the frequency and intensity of psychosis.
People need to stop demonizing normal human experiences
