simplified self-care guide for psychotic people who can’t read long-ass blocks of text like me
Cover the cameras, cover the windows, unfollow ppl who make you feel bad/paranoid/make fun of u just dont worry about being weird and put urself first.
Seriously, unfriend, unfollow, block, just get rid of those who make you feel bad.
Its ok to take a break from ppl. dont push yourself too hard. long-term stress can trigger an episode.
When an episode is over and you regain insight, write down what happened, your feelings about it now and that you’re ok, in case it happens again and you need reassurance.
Doctors aren’t always good. don’t be scared to change your doctor if they’re unhelpful/bad/rude/abusive.
Its okay not to wash for weeks. wet wipes are your friend.
Its ok not to brush your teeth for weeks. mouth-wash is your friend.
Drink any fresh water within your reach. its best to get yourself a big bottle and just re-fill it once a day or so.
Hoard some snacks in your room/wherever you spend most of the day in in case u cant move to the kitchen.
If you want to check if something’s a hallucination, try recording it. beware you might hallucinate it in the recording too tho.
