[...] And music, that was where Lestat separated man from food. Music pierced his damned soul. And any human who were involved with the creation of it existed on an elevated plane in his eyes. I was moved to see he too had his human attachments. And this woman sang for us, it seemed, articulating the difficult love we often had trouble expressing ourselves.

i developed an intimacy with a specific hallucination of mine. sometimes i hear her talking to me inside my head and sometimes i see her appearing in corners or looking at me but i don't take it seriously i be like ariana what are you doing here ?!?? i don't know if this happens to other people in schizospec but i find some my people so silly

The most terrifying part of having memory issues is when you can feel something from 5 seconds ago be thrown out the window and there's an empty hole where it once was. You remember that you forgot something.

i can say i’m lottie matthews coded when i’m actually and non-ironically schizophrenic .. i know that many psychotic people did not like how her psychosis and delusion is portrayed, but i think she's actually a good representation

"yall just have schizophrenia instead of DID"

there's a history of systems with complex dissociative disorders being medically abused by their doctors who refused to believe them about their symptoms and trauma histories, insisting that they made it all up via hallucinations and delusions of trauma.

not only are you being ableist towards those on the schizospectrum and to those with complex dissociative disorders, you aren't even being original with it.

[anigitli]

yes!! this exactly!! plus, it is 100% possible to have both! i am diagnosed with both DID and schizoaffective disorder, so anytime i see someone say anything along the lines of people being schizospec instead of a system i have to laugh a little because... so many people act as if those are mutually exclusive when they really arent. plus, schizospec symptoms for me present distinctly differently than my DID symptoms, i dont really ever confuse the two tbh?? idk like it just stigmatizes both disorders more, and ignores that there are people with both

[madpunks]

we are so ableist about memory. people with good memory take for granted the fact that they can recall as much as they can, and use that to taunt, guilt and threaten people with memory issues. many neurotypes and mental illnesses cause memory lapses. traumatic brain injuries can cause memory lapses. brain cancer can cause memory lapses.

even if your memory is good, it's not right to guilt someone because they can't remember something. trust me, people with memory problems are desperately trying to remember: it's just that we literally can't. it is a very literal "i can't remember".

[webhurt]

i never thought that not being able to trust what i hear or what i see was a sign of mental illness .. that's funny bc i thought hearing and seeing things that aren't there was a silly part of my personality

[webhurt]

i think it's so funny that when we're in schizospec we know exactly who really hears voices and who's pretending. these are details so sudden and imperceptible that they make all the difference and honestly it sucks to have people who pretend to be special .. like no girl there's no voice telling you to do anything and it shows

If you mess up a social interaction you can say "Failed Experiment" and move on

[nitewrighter]

I actually do feel like the "unemployed friend on a Tuesday" meme actually helps de-stigmatize unemployment because it frequently affirms that when you don't have a job you're more likely to be getting up to some weird shit rather than just lazing around. But I also feel like the unemployed friend is frequently up to some random shit because there's a whole pile of miscellaneous life tasks that full-time employment keeps people from. The unemployed friend is helping their cousin move, or babysitting, or checking in with a neighbor with mobility issues. The unemployed friend is a walking thesis on the inflexibility of our current labor landscape and just how much work exists outside of work.

whenever i look at my gymnastics uniform from when i was a child, or my gymnastics medals, i always have the feeling that none of it is mine, none of it was earned by me and that i am taking someone else's place and name 😄😄😄😄
