Oh you love that musician that wears a strait jacket in a music video?
Oh you love haunted house attractions that are 'insane asylum' themed?
Oh you love that horror movie where the villain is portrayed to be psychotic?
But do you respect and care for mentally ill people who have been restrained because they were a danger to themselves or others?
But do you respect and care for people who are constantly in and out of psych wards, or have to live full time in psychiatric facilities?
But do you respect and care for people who have psychotic disorders, especially if they are poc and/or homeless?
Do you see us as real people, or do you just like the aesthetic of our suffering for your entertainment?

Mute people are humans worthy of respect.
Non-speaking people are humans worthy of respect.
Semi-speaking people are humans worthy of respect.
People with disorganized speech are humans worthy of respect.
Deaf people who don't speak are humans worthy of respect.
Autistic, disabled, mentally ill and all of it. We deserve to be treated like and thought of as real people with as much to offer as other humans. The lack of speech doesn't make us "useless" or "stupid" or "like talking to a lamp." Mute people of any kind have just as many thoughts and feelings and actions to offer as those who speak.
Life is still worthwhile and peace and happiness are attainable for us. We will find people who care to make the effort for us to be understood. You will feel yourself breathe softly again some day. You deserve it.

idk if its brain fog or a symptom of my mental disorders or what but does anyone else have moments where its like, you're trying to tell someone something and you completely space on a simple word or you KNOW the word but its hard to get your mouth to say it? like if mom asks where the cream cheese is and i want to say "its in the cheese drawer" sometimes it comes out like "its in the... um, the.... the uh...... the pull-outy.... the place where the cheese is.....where you pull out the cheese" and it can go on for like... a good while, and sometimes she just figures it out and i dont figure out for myself. i know everyone forgets words sometimes but this happens every day, multiple times a day, and i sometimes get a minor headache from trying to figure it out
is there like... a name for this, does anyone else experience this, it feels like my brain is jelly and i have to dig through the jelly to find the right words and sometimes i can see the words but i have to dig to them to be able to say them. its like i have to actually put effort in to talk.

shoutout to everyone with a complicated or negative relationship to antipsychotics. to everyone who’s “noncompliant”. to everyone who’s on them due to force or coercion. to everyone who’s on them because they’re afraid of not being. to everyone who’s going through withdrawal without medical supervision & against medical advice. to everyone who hates the side effects but still prefers them to being unmedicated. to everyone who dislikes them for “disordered” reasons. to the people on them who don’t think they need them & the people off them who think they do. to everyone who doesn’t like them but does better at school or work on them & to everyone who likes them but does better without them. to everyone who gets them on they grey market. to everyone who self-medicates with illegal drugs instead. to everyone with medical/psychiatric trauma. to everyone refusing to go to doctors (even if they would be helpful with other things) because they don’t want to be put on antipsychotics. I see you & im here with you. no matter what your diagnosis is you deserve bodily autonomy.

Enough "don't worry, your headmates aren't hallucinations!" It's time for "it's OK if your headmates actually are hallucinations"

Hey fellow schizospec folks, I think it would be great if we had something going for sharing healthy coping mechanisms!
Drop your healthy coping mechanism below, it can be something you picked up through therapy, or it can be listening to calming music, etc.

The urge to draw my true angelic form is so real right now... but also the negative and cognitive symptoms of my schizo stuff have made it so hard to function, let alone indulge in hobbies :(
One day I'll get to it though :)

Actually shout-out to any adult who, for whatever reason, can't live on their own at all without someone living with them or even periodically checking in on them without killing themselves, whether accidentally (via impulsivity or trouble judging situations) or on purpose (via suicidal ideation, intrusive thoughts, impulsivity, what have you). People like you are real, mature adults even if people judge you as immature for neurodivergent traits, and people in fandoms should stop using people like you as punchlines, both in the "joking about people with exact traits as you" sense or "omggggg they're such a gremlin/trash goblin/failure <3" sense (bc "girlfailure" traits are unfortunately sometimes used as neurodivergency jokes lmao). You people are the real ones

I want to give a shoutout to religious people with spiritual psychosis. Spiritual psychosis that contradicts with the religion that they practice. Spiritual psychosis that “fits in with” the religion that they practice. People who have converted to a religion, but have psychosis related to their former one. Those who feel isolated from their community. People who feel guilty due to their delusions. People who don’t feel guilty at all and might even enjoy their delusions.

Okay so question for people with mental illnesses and/or epilepsy:
Does anyone know what causes the feeling of being crazy? Or of going crazy? Like I can tell I'm getting a little crazy rn over the past like half hour and know an episode is probably gonna happen maybe. But I have no idea what to even google to learn more about the psychology and neurology of this feeling.
Also included epilepsy bc its possible, but not confirmed, that I have a seizure disorder that manifests weirdly - or likely my brain is just a mishmash of various symptoms and chemicals etc. But I'm wondering if it's like an aura or something.
Happens before an episode (usually 30 minutes to a couple hours) where I get paranoid/slightly delusional, super insecure, and my mind feels... fast and choppy like a stormy sea.

Things I'd love for the Internet to leave in 2023:
• misusing the word "delusional" or saying "delulu"
• public freakout videos that are just someone displaying psychotic symptoms
• "I'm in your walls" and other paranoia triggering "jokes"
• schizoposting
• misusing the word "psychotic"
• baiting and triggering people online who are openly psychotic or displaying psychotic symptoms
• excluding schizo-spec and psychotic people from any neurodiversity/mental illness awareness
Let's just all try to be better to schizo-spec and psychotic people. And hold others accountable as well.

Mutism/Nonspeaking Awareness Flag
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I, like many others, suffer from mutism due to a physical disability. Every flag I've seen for the nonspeaking and nonverbal community is based in autism and related issues, without representation for those of us who are nonspeaking for reasons such as being a cancer survivor, schizophrenia, muscle tension dysphonia, spasmodic dysphonia, aphrasia, brain damage, etc. and related conditions. There are a large variety of conditions that I rarely see representation for, and this flag is for us.
The white stripes represents hope for a more accepting future for nonspeaking and mute people.
The purple stripes represents entirely nonspeaking people.
The blue stripes represents AAC and sign language users.
The green stripes represents people with fluctuating levels of verbality.
The yellow stripe represents community and the way we have each other's backs in this struggle.
The symbol is a vague representation of the lack of a voice. I couldn't decide which one looked better so feel free to use either.

The real psychotic experience is not realizing for years that all those "the government agent assigned to watch my computer/phone" memes were jokes and that most people don't actually believe they are being individually monitored

We need to talk more about people who feel plural because of how complex and vivid their hallucinations are. I think that may be the case for me but there's no community, no conversation about it. You either have alters or your alone in your head, which just functionally isn't true, there's more ways to be multiple than just traditional alters, are you going to look at someone who is having the exact same experience as someone with OSDD who has alters that don't switch, and tell them they're perfectly fine and normal because their headmates come from psychotic hallucinations instead of being fragments of a whole? What are we supposed to do, how are we supposed to find each other. Where do we belong.

Tired of people acting like discussing ableist language is unimportant, especially when it's always about ableist language against psychotic people.
Calling out people for saying the r slur is considered normal and expected in leftist spaces, but apparently not liking people using "psycho" and "clinically insane" as insults to describe bigots is "distracting from real issues" and "eating our own tail."
What a fucking joke. Just say you don't give a fuck about psychotic people and go.
