Disability pride month reminder that "unmedicated by choice" DOES NOT mean "doesn't have problems" or "can perfectly handle their problems all the time while unmedicated." It is, more often than not, a choice we make knowing that it'll be difficult and accepting those difficulties as preferable to the difficulties we had while on medication. It's not a choice everyone can make or should make but those who make it deserve the respect you'd give any other disabled person's relationship with medication

Edit: This post has started making its way to transphobe tumblr so say goodbye to your reblog privileges.

Mentally ill people deserve support regardless of whether or not they’re “trying” to recover. 

We don’t give a fuck if someone is “anti-recovery”, they still deserve autonomy and basic respect. 

Recovery looks different for anybody. Withholding support until someone performatively demonstrates that they’re making an effort towards some arbitrary standards is not support. That is coercion. 

“Romanticizing your mental illness is anti-recovery”. I don’t care. People are allowed to find the light in their existence, mental illness and all. I’m not going to self-flagellate about how miserable my existence is for you. We have nothing to prove. 

You do not owe your recovery to anyone else. Your recovery is your business. Nobody has the right to dictate what that looks like for you. 

And if you’re not “trying” to recover? We still support you. You have the right to exist as you are, full stop. No conditions. No “as long as you’re trying to get better” bullshit. 

You have the right to exist and take up space. You have the right to be loudly and proudly mad.

aid request for a friend who's not on tumblr: anyone know any good resources (videos preferred, but anything works) on self-guided trauma work, specifically trauma work designed to deal with the physical repercussions of trauma, especially nervous system hyperactivity and teaching your body better ways to respond to stress?

friend doesn't have access to an educated and trauma-informed therapist, and also doesn't have a good history with therapists in general partially due to being black & there not being accessible black therapists in the area. trauma work resources by and for black folks is especially appreciated for that reason <3

psychiatric diagnosis is just made up. maybe bipolar is actually a group of things, maybe its just bipolar. maybe MDD is a type of BD, who cares? us whatever words you like, make on up, or use none. there all nonsense anyways. some white guys just sat around like "hey there seems to be a lot of people not thinking/acting/feeling how we like... we should give it a name and arbitrary criteria so we can lock them up and force feed them sedatives by the spoon full!"

btw in light of that post we just reblogged; we use the term psychpunk because we don't feel like explaining it constantly to people that don't know the word, but we're definitely antipsych. As in anti- the psychiatric industry and the westernized, heterogeneous, pathologized structure that leads to othering anything seen as "incorrect" as something to be "fixed" to match what is considered culturally normal. Antipsych isn't about dismissing psychology, it's about tearing down the biased and bigoted structure that the modern psychiatric industry is built on. Even when mental troubles are disabling, the goal should be to help someone feel stable & healthy, not make sure they're conforming to homogenous society at large. Thanks for reading

If your "punk" label promotes exclusionism, it's not punk. Likewise if you use a punk label and you're exclus, you're not punk.

Anti endos amaze me. Imagine making so much of your personality and life revolve around telling other people they're not actually what they say because their condition presents in a way that hasn't been studied or documented yet. Imagine arguing with history and invalidating countless cultures with precedented language and documentation of non-disordered plural neurotypes in the process. Imagine thinking you're a revolutionary when you're following the word of the doctors who actively oppress and marginalize you and others like you when all you're doing is harassing other mentally ill people on the internet. Couldn't be me.

Block my ass if you think you get to dictate other people's neurotypes and qualia of psychological experience. K bye.

(I'm traumagenic and diagnosed btw! Fuck off if you assume I'm an undiagnosed endo just bc I think they're allowed to exist without "approval" from singlet doctors and their incomplete pathology. Y'all are pitiful.)

Content warning: Talk of pressuring systems to integrate and/or fuse.

Long anti-psych rant incoming

Screenshotting this because its a 5 year old post and we don't wanna bring discourse or anything to OP.

Ok so this quote is like a microcosm of the ways in which mainstream psychiatry refuses to allow patients any autonomy in our recovery.

Like, this hypothetical example of "DID as a lifestyle" is a perfect example of a system that would (likely) be benefitted from pursuing healthy multiplicity rather than full fusion. But instead of recognizing that, and working with the patient to find a way to function happily as a system, they label it as a "barrier to integration".

Its made clear in this example that being a system is deeply important to this patient. But the authors do not recognize the humanity of the individual system members. They seem to imply that in-system relationships function solely as an avoidant behavior, and its clear that they see them as inherently lesser than external relationships. They view the internal world, lives, and identities of system members as being obstacles to normalcy.

Because that's really what matters to them at the end of the day. The patient's desires are secondary, if they're even taken into account all. Any positive experience with their neurodivergency is viewed as an obstacle in the way of the predetermined goal. And its been decided for the patient long before they walk in the door. The goal is enforcing hegemonic ideals of normalcy, complacency, and obedience.

Because you know what? Even if this hypothetical patient's experiences are exclusively pathological, even if their in-system relationships are for the purpose of avoidance, even if they are "clinging" onto parts as a coping mechanism. So fucking what? Sure, call it "anti-recovery" if you want to, but we value that autonomy of individuals to decide how they want to live their lives, and that includes continuing to live with their disorder as they see fit.

Because its laid out clearly here. The patient's ability to decide for themselves what they want is seen as a problem to be solved. Their experience and self-expression is a pathology to be cured. And under no circumstances will we stand for that.

if asexuality or aversion to sex comes from trauma, that is absolutely something a therapist and you are supposed to address, that's not queerphobia and equating it to conversion therapy is kinda disgusting and queerphobic itself lmao

That is not what I said in the slightest, to a point where im questioning if youre asking me this in good faith at all. Please actually read and/or reread the words I typed before accusing me of things like this. My initial post was not even worded in a way that was vague enough to be misinterpreted this way.

If you still don’t understand how misguided you are, here is my attempt at putting it more clearly :

Yes, aversion to sex and/or romance and lack of sexual/romantic desires can come from trauma. Therapy can help that, if you find the right therapist. However, from my own experiences, I can tell you that the way a lot of therapists approach this is at best, ineffective, and at worst, downright retraumatizing. If sex and/or romance makes you uncomfortable, being convinced to take part in sexual/romantic acts without you having desires for it or being downright averse to it is a recipe for disaster (for most people). It just puts you into more non-consensual and traumatizing positions. That is what exposure therapy is, and that is what most therapists have tried (and sometimes succeeded) to do to me. Horrible experience, would not recommend to anyone. This approach tries to cure the symptom instead of the issue, and is deeply based in ace/arophobia (seeing “fixing” a lack of attraction as more urgent and important than addressing the source of the issue, the actual trauma).

Also, no. If someone doesn’t feel like fixing their trauma for any reason, nobody should push them to. A therapist can absolutely inform the patient on the benefits of doing so, but trauma work is incredibly hard, very much a long-term thing, and can put the patient in an extremely vulnerable headspace. It’s the mental equivalent of breaking a bone to set it right again. For an abuse victim who just got out of that situation, it is completely understandable for them to want to enjoy their new-found freedom and joy as much as they can, for as long as they want. Pushing them towards trauma work without the right environment, mindset or literally anything else they feel might make this not the right time for it can cause further damage, especially knowing how the current psychiatric institution works.

Asexuality and aromanticism, however, do not come from trauma, or any other neurological differences. It might be affected by it, and people with life experiences similar to aro and/or ace people are welcomed in the community (for exemple, sexual and/or domestic abuse survivors that are sex/romance averse), but it is not caused by it. Most therapy settings are not informed about asexuality, and assume it is a symptom of a underlying issue, that needs to be fixed. The same kind of exposure therapy that I talked about earlier is often used to “cure” aro and/or ace people, putting them those same non-consensual and traumatizing situations. That is conversion therapy, and medical use of coerced corrective rape. These therapists are, often with methods similar to gaslighting (and I use the original meaning of the word here, not the diluted tiktok version of it), convincing people to do sexual and/or romantic acts that they have no desire to do, to fix an issue that doesn’t exist, with the explicit goal of making someone not queer. Please explain to me how that is not conversion therapy.

Other forms of arophobia and acephobia are prevalent in psychiatric institutions as they are today, tho I wouldn’t call most of those conversion therapy. You only need to look at the notes on my post to see what I’m talking about.

I genuinely hope that this is a formative experience for you, and that in the future, you learn to actually read what is written before you send messages like this. Have a good day.

hey, i've (due to chronic disorganization) lost a bunch of resources on mad liberation/antipsych discussions of psychosis, and i'm trying to send some resources along to someone who's currently struggling with the psychiatric institution and wants to learn more about psychosis from a mad-centered perspective.

can i get some links to good introductory readings on psychosis, how it's culturally constructed, non-western-centric views of psychosis, criticisms of consensus reality, and humanistic/positive treatments of psychosis and frameworks through which to view it that are not centered in the psychiatric institution? also just generally if you're antipsych and mad, links to your favorite readings on psychosis in general would be super helpful! thank you!!
