Happy disability pride month, friendly reminder that not everyone is American and using the ADA and SSDI as your only talking points alienates the majority of the world! Obviously those things are important to discuss- but they are not the beginning nor the end of conversations on disability rights advocacy and I'd REALLY like to see (particularly non-disabled) people branching out and spreading some more universal topics this month!

As non-Americans, we have our own unique issues with government disability support programs- none of them are the same. As a Canadian, a hot button topic for me is MAID (which I unfortunately see a lot of Americans making tasteless jokes about, but that's besides the point). As a Nova Scotian, it was specifically the lack of targeted disability rights protections in law. As an Ontarian, it's now the hurdles required to get onto ODSP, only for it to pay way less than cost of living.

Those don't apply to Americans- many of you probably know very little about them- so do you feel comfortable reblogging them, getting in on the conversation? I don't, when I'm faced with posts about American disability law.

While I think that specific posts about these issues are important, I'd really love to see folks opening up discussion on things that exist across borders. The skepticism suffered by service dog users, lack of access to adult changing stations, the stigma around "gross" disabilities, the treatment of people with motor control challenges like they're less intelligent, general lack of public respect for autonomy of disabled bodies... the list could go on and on. These are, for the most part, issues that exist across borders.

So for the folks who are looking to spread the discussion this month, try to branch out. Take a foray into the disability rights discussions, find something you hadn't heard of, or something that's a more wide-spread issue, and reblog that! Let's try to give every issue its time in the sun- we all deserve to be proud of ourselves and our continued survival this month.

#just a little tired of seeing the same american issues over and over and never anything else #yes. marriage equality for disabled people is hugely important. but why is that the only thing I'm seeing non-disabled allies engage with? #branch out. reblog something new. learn something. #not video games #late nights with ali #nd blogging #disability rights #disability pride month #long post

Warning to anyone who posts about having a schizo-spec disorder, psychosis or psychotic symptoms openly online:

• it's possible that people will be sanist to you

• it's possible people will claim you are lying

• it's possible people will try to trigger you and make you paranoid

These have all happened to me, so here's some advice on how I deal with that:

• only check that platform when you are in a good headspace

• know that people are doing this to get a reaction out of you because they are sanist and want to see a "crazy" reaction, try not to feed into it, don't reply, ignore it, you don't even have to read the whole thing

• turn off anons if you need to (they tend to hide behind anons)

• block people right away

• delete asks right away so you don't have to see it again

• try not to take any of it personally, some people online don't see us as people, they see us as a label that they want to discredit, trigger or laugh at, they are either ignorant or hateful and don't deserve your time

It's important that we have our voices heard, don't let assholes on the Internet stop you from doing that.

#it doesnt even upset me anymore its just annoying #but its worth it to delete a bunch of asks to get to the shit i care about #cause no sanist asshole is gonna keep me from keeping this blog up #mental illness #nd #schizophrenia #neurodivergent #schizophrenic #psychosis #actuallyschizophrenic #mental health awareness #pseriouslypsychotic

Mermaid Reggie would have such pretty scales

the prettiest ones like u can't imagine especially when they catch the light and shimmer like this iridescent sheen on newly harvested pearls. his near-opalescent skin and dewy lashes and big, sea-creature-thing eyes that blink up at james curiously when he carefully approaches the bathtub to give regulus his daily serving of fresh fish

i think regulus should have this otherworldly beauty to him that will have anyone at his beck and call but i also think that mayhaps james should have a drop of older siren blood or whatever the witchcraft fuck that makes him just immune enough to do things like grip regulus by the chin and firmly tell him 'no' when he tries bite james' hand off with his sharp jagged marine predator teeth

anyways pretty mermaid/merman reggie but also if he gets pissed off his eyes blacken and his hands shapeshift into claws and he hisses and pretty much morphs into the most vicious goldfish pet u can imagine. will calm down if james gets in the tub with him and just gives him a proper smooch

#answered #i have no mermaid fic tag bc i swore i wouldnt entertain any new au ideas #ok im going away again........ #i was gna say 'see u all next week' fr this time #but study breaks.....this blog does call for me #wish me luck tho smooch #either way cocky james and reg hitting him with his tail #reg growing legs bc some evolutionary measures or whatever when he's separated from water #wobbly as fuck needing to lean on james but he learns walking fairly quick #and then james realizes what a menace he is because he is going everywhere examining everything #i think he should retain his monstrous strength in human form bc he breaks like the door knobs nd shit #no lock keeps him away #james: the toilet door.....is locked for a reason.... #(regulus grumbles in fish) #he's like clementine but Worse

Vyvanse is such a silly little drug. I get up at 11, take it at noon, what's a normal sleep phase I don't know her.

The first hour passes and I'm like "dude nothings happening except me getting sweaty and my heart's going a bit faster" and then I blink and it's another 2 hours later and I've just blitzed doing every chore available to me, organized all my shit for the day, read through 500 tumblr posts, watched some random-ass YouTube clips, and made myself food I don't want to eat because my appetite is suppressed but I know food consumption is a task. It's like all of my ADHD bullshit for the entire day happens at light speed over a few hours.

Then I sit down and can do The Big Task of the day for 5 hours or more and, unlike with a hyperfocus, can remain focused on it even after taking breaks to go do other stuff.

Then the end of the day hits and I'm tired and need to go to sleep but I still feel the Productivity Need so for some reason I watch 50 more "Educational" YouTube videos until it subsides and then finally fall asleep at 2am.

Like. Does it cure my ADHD? Absolutely not. Does it make me less chaotic? No. But does it allow me to consistently channel my ADHD energy productively? Oh, yeah. I'm not 100% sure that's what my doctors were going for when they prescribed it, but I gotta be honest I kinda love it.

#not video games #late nights with ali #nd blogging #actuallyADHD #I'm pretty sure my docs were intending for a bit more... how you say... stability? #but a lot of my ADHD traits don't go away. just the most important one- activation-based executive dysfunction #And honestly without that I think I like the way I function with the rest? usually anyway #If I'm in control of it. I love my hyperfocus. I love my bouncing around chaotically. I love being impulsively spontaneous #don't get me wrong. there are days where I do hate my adhd. when the emotional regulation problems kick in it's hell. #rejection sensitive dysphoria is a bitch. I can forget self care in lieu of 'more important' things. my working memory can fuck me over. #but in comparison to how I lived before medication? it's amazing. and I've learned to be fond of aspects of my disorder #and to live with the ones that are inconvenient. it's so nice honestly #I could do without the sweating and appetite suppression. but it is SO worth it to like my own mind again. #before I was diagnosed I knew I had it. so my only options were self medicating with caffiene and developing an anxiety disorder. #the thing that bypasses the dopamine-based activation is adrenaline-based activation #so I literally just. got so anxious about stuff I needed to do that it would trigger the adrenaline activation where dopamine failed me #I don't think I actually 100% KNEW that's what I was doing per se. but I do think some of my anxiety came from intentional doom spiralling #anyway moral of the story. Vyvanse helps with ADHD is some truly strange ways but at the end of the day it's a fucking miracle #New River Pharmaceuticals developers of lisdexamfetamine I am kissing you on the mouth

If you're putting dni banners or bright dni wording on the bottom of all of your posts in 2024 believing this will actively stop people from interacting then we are on entirely different wavelengths and I'm automatically determining that you do not have critical thinking skills and blocking you regardless of your self-proclaimed stance on anything.

This is the internet. The internet is a free-for-all, always has been, always will be. People are going to interact with content regardless of their age, regardless of their stances vs your stances. In fact, the more you draw attention to not wanting attention the more troll attention you are actively inviting in.

It is up to you to curate your own online experience and use your block button when you are uncomfortable with people interacting with your content. And you are under no obligation to offer an explanation to anyone as to why you've blocked them.

#proship safe #paraphile safe #endo safe #tulpa safe #kink safe #okay to reblog #plus your banners are not accessibility friendly; and for a lot of nd people like myself they are just a huge eye sore to look at. #this is *not* about people with dnis listed in *one* place on their blog. (i.e. info or pinned) #that's called *setting a boundary for yourself* wherein you've made it perfectly clear to others what you will not hesitate to block over. #that's not what I'm complaining about here at all. #this is me complaining about people posting *all* content behind what they perceive as a purity wall by adding a dni banner image to it. #( I mean I also think dnis are *also* useless in the grand scheme but tomato tomahto. ) #ambers.txt

It's so frustrating trying to learn more about your own illness and finding so little about so many of the common symptoms, or how they affect people day to day, and only finding what is commonly understood by most people. I feel like there should be more research into the many other symptoms besides hallucinations and delusions. And more understanding of what the actual symptoms are vs how the symptoms generally affect people.

One thing I noticed is things like "poor hygiene", "doing poorly in school or work" are often described as symptoms of schizophrenia, when really it is the result of symptoms like Avolition. And I think it's important to name the actual symptoms and not label the results of it as symptoms themselves.

Another thing is that I never hear how the negative and cognitive symptoms interact with side effects of antipsychotics. Like I personally think my executive dysfunction worsened as a result of the constant drowsiness from my antipsychotics. But I never see any information on that, or any guidance or support for that when you need to take the meds for the rest of your life while also living with untreatable negative and cognitive symptoms for the rest of your life.

And lastly, I wish more research was done on the horrible stigma schizophrenia has, and if that affects symptoms like isolation, limited speech and paranoia. I think every person with schizophrenia has the experience of having their psychotic symptoms be significantly amplified in public due to the paranoia of being perceived as psychotic, yet that experience is never acknowledged by professionals.

It's just disheartening that it seems that the overwhelming stigma of schizophrenia has seeped into the psychiatric field itself. We have so little accessible information about our own condition, the nuances of it, and how it realistically affects us as we deal with schizophrenia, the stigma, and antipsychotics on a daily basis. I just think there's so much more that can be done in terms of research into schizophrenia and I want to see it so badly, but can't do the work myself because of my mental illness. If only people with the privilege of being able to study and work in these fields cared enough to value our quality of life and understanding of our own brains as much as those of us who usually don't have the same access.
