#and the schizoids

I am aware that I just posted about my appreciation for schizospectrum and such yesterday, but it’s something I’ve never really gotten to speak about, and there’s still some more I’d like to say (whether anyone gives a shit or not lmao). Even as a small child, I remember finding solace in schizophrenic individuals. I remember, despite never having viewed myself as being human, the schizophrenic population being one of the few groups of people (including schizoids and aspd individuals) I found even mildly relatable. When around them in some way, I felt almost at home - something I’ve never actually felt. And while this did bring me a small sense of comfort, it also seemed to scare me greatly. Every time I watched some sort of video, read an article or paper, or watched a game pertaining to the schizophrenic experience, it tended to shake me to my core, because it felt like what I was trying to (or, really, a massive portion of what I was trying to) desperately to hide for my entire life was being shown, revealed to every single person on earth. It felt as though someone had seen a part of my soul for the first time. Which, I understand that some may view that as something I should be concerned about, but I spent too much time as a little kid wondering if my grandmother’s condition had been passed down to me. I’m starting to think I just stole or was placed into the body of some fetus in its mother’s womb (which is something I can only seem to genuinely tell, and not make any light of, to psychotics). And honestly, even posting this shit as I have before leaves me feeling a certain feeling I don’t want to label as being paranoia, but there’s no other way to describe it. This is probably the only place I’ll ever talk about it.
I have almost been on this planet for sixteen years now. Once I turn sixteen, that will mark a full decade since I first began really “seeing things,” “hearing things,” etc., that it seemed no one else saw, heard, smelled, felt, tasted, etc. Or (I’m stealing this from CannibalNightmares) “tripping sober.” Though I remember being untrusting of everyone for genuinely as long as I can remember. I didn’t even trust my own parents. But to be fair, I think I was being pretty reasonable in my so called “paranoia.” I had that shit right. But what kind of three year old thinks everyone is plotting against them LMAO Everything else was still there. The seemingly dead people and demons following me came later though. Perhaps it lied latently within me. I truly do not know how I’m still standing LMAO.

hey fun fact did you know that if you're on the schizophrenia spectrum, have psychosis, have psychotic symptoms or traits, etc, that you're loved and your symptoms and traits should not be vilainized or seen as evil or ugly?

please include schizospectrum people in your mental health positivity post. please actually include schizophrenic, schizoaffective, schizotypal, schizoid and other psychotic people. still to this day, i get called dangerous for being schizophrenic. my last ex told me they "knew" i would lash out and become dangerous and that they shouldn't have dated me specifically because i'm schizophrenic. i never lashed out to hurt them, by the way, but they routinely hurt me.
schizospectrum disorders do not make someone inherently dangerous. people still believe this firmly. our fight isn't over we still have to continue to speak about schizospec people and how unfairly we are treated. we are dehumanized instantly the second people find out about our conditions. we are treated like ticking time bombs. people openly admit that we are scaring them when we talk about our psychosis and how it affects us.
people tell us to calm down and that our delusions aren't real and that we're overreacting. people give reality check us and force us to try to think in ways that scare us. people refuse to trust our own accounts of our own lives and what is happening to us, even when we are not actively delusional or hallucinating. people infantilize us and treat us like we're stupid and have zero autonomy.
we are not dangerous. we are not scary. we are literally just existing in a world that refuses to accept us. please keep talking about schizospectrum struggles and how we need to be seen as just another human, just like anyone else. we can be as unique and varied as anyone else with any other neurotype. we are not all the same person, and we are not inherently dangerous or scary.

'I couldn't get hold of the idea that I was me. I lost the sense for a little while of being a separate entity. I was afraid to look at anything; and afraid to touch anything as if I didn't register touch. I couldn't believe I was doing things except mechanically. I saw everything in an unrealistic way. Everything seemed highly dangerous. I was terrified while it lasted. All my life since I've been saying to myself at intervals "I am me".'

every schizospec person deserves respect- severely paranoid schizospec people who struggle to form relationships, schizospec people who can't form complete sentences and struggle to converse, schizospec people who talk about their delusions with strangers, schizospec people who can't tell reality from fiction, schizospec people who are affected and unnerved by their hallucinations, schizospec people who struggle with hygiene and dressing themselves, schizospec people who can't double bookkeep, homeless schizospec people, addicted schizospec people, unmedicated schizospec people, and so on and so forth. all of us, not just those of us who can hold down jobs or be in education

one thing that i'll never understand is that when like autistic people mask they're not trying to deceive anyone and it's sad they've been forced to mask because of social pressures (obviously) but when people with personality disorders mask they're automatically trying to "manipulate" everyone around them so that they can "abuse" them and "trick" them ??? like what
