#schizophreniform

[psychotic-tbh]

Shoutout to those who have had to go through things no one should as kids/adolescents due to their mental illness(es).

BUT ALSO:

Shoutout to those who developed their mental illness(es) after their tween/teen years and had to learn to adjust to life with mental illness.

ADDITIONALLY:

Lots of love to all with mental illness who had to adjust without much or any support from others/those you love(d).

END NOTE:

Mental illness is hard enough on its own, but these conditions can make it so much more difficult.

You’re worthy and deserving of love, support, and respect even if you haven’t been receiving it.

[perfidious-prophet]

The fucking things they dont tell you when you fucking start Testosterone.

Yeah, everybody knows about the deeper voice and the dreaded asshair, but these were my unfunny little surprises after 3 months on T. Reminder that shit will always vary from person to person because we're not all clones of each other, whatever.

1. Bottom growth fucking hurts. Sometimes I don't want to wear pants. I knew it would happen, didn't know it'd be so uncomfortable. And it starts fast. Like first dose fast.

2. The irritability goes fucking CRAZY it's like I'm constantly PMSing. I get why dudes punch walls. Oh my god. I know how to keep my anger wraps, but holy shit.

3. On the topic of PMSing. I had temporary worsening of menstrual cramps. Jesus fuck. I was having pain before menstruation started for days, and sometimes just randomly. I hope it doesn't flare up, but it seems to be calming down now. I think my body is freaking out over weird hormone levels.

4. Vocal fatigue. Talking hurts. I expected voice cracks, obviously, but why the fuck does this shit hurt? I don't even want to talk that much anymore. My voice just gives out. It's still deepening, so a win is a win, I guess.

5. Apathy, emptiness, anhedonia, and numbness. My motivation has tanked. I don't fucking care anymore. I just want people to leave me alone so I can take a nap. I already had mental issues before starting T, and I don't think T gave this to me, but it's definitely changed how I feel my mental illnesses. I have to like relearn how to cope and shit. I don't recommend starting hormones if you're an emotionally unstable dumbass like myself. This is literally second puberty, mood swings and teen angst included. I am a volatile, angry little man.

6. Anxiety. Like I said, teen angst. My panic attacks now include intense nausea, which is New and Uncool. Dunno why that happened. But I'm just nervous. There's nothing to be nervous about. I consistently feel like I've forgotten to do homework. I am not even in school anymore. Rad!

7. Psychosis? I had my first intense psychotic break at 14. It lasted 6 months, give or take. I've had shorter episodes on and off since then. My symptoms are stress based. The emotional strain is, naturally, pushing me towards the edge again. I am sure I will explode brilliantly and violently within the weeks to come.

8. Male loneliness is real dudes. Have friends.

9. It's harder to mask. I've been periodically going mute again. I'd never really stopped, but it's more frequent now.

Anyway that's my rant I think.

I'm not telling you not to do hormones. I'm not your dad. But it's not fucking easy. Anyway I have no intention of stopping. I am thuggin that shit out. I had a really really tough time during first puberty, and I suspect I'm going to have issues the second time around.

I am happy with the changes I am experiencing physically. I still feel confident and sure of my identity as a trans man. I am just not very happy about losing control over my mental state again. We'll see how it goes. If I'm lucky, I'll get medicated. I can't afford a therapist right now.

Good luck out there, whoever you are.

hi i was wondering what the best word for someone who isn't schizophrenic to use to describe someone who is? (just because on the post where you talked about the shorter version being a slur but also reclaimable inside community (totally makes sense!) i wasn't sure if that meant just the shortened version or the whole word as well.)

(if there's a resource you wanna point me to instead rad just wasn't sure my own research would land me w shit aside from abelist doctors )

it varies by person to person - some of us may not mind others calling us schizo (as long as they dont use it as a slur). but generally, just saying we're schizophrenic/whatever our label is (schizotypal, schizoid, schizoaffective, schizophrenic, schizophreniform...). schizo-spec/schizospec is also okay usually, since it's a shortening of schizophrenia spectrum; but because it uses the term schizo, some of us may not be comfortable with non-schizospecs using it for us. so just don't use it around those of us who aren't comfy with that.

but ultimately (when possible) it's best to ask us (as individuals) what we want to be called/described with.

RE: the disability, fandom, and ableism project, I'm going to do a poll for psychosis and psychotic disorders soon, but I don't know how the best way to word it is.

This is also going to be a really difficult one because the canon sources are arguably at their most blatantly ableist here, so it stands to reason that fandoms would be as well. But I still want to hear people's experiences nonetheless.

If anyone who has experienced psychosis due to anything (including major depression) sees this, what's the preferred language for the community? I want to reach out in the way people feel best.

schizophreniform culture is being diagnosed with schizophreniform and even though you're confused because you've been experiencing it for years and the psych herself said severe severity you're just so glad to have a diagnosis yippee!!!!

since the account @neurorientation is a thing ima post my schizo-spec related flags onto here (only posted them to my flag acc on twt)

they are schizromantic, schizsexual, and schizrose/schizaroace; using schiz specifically since schizo is used a lot for different descriptions of neurosexualities but I wanted one for the specific definition of when your schizo-spec symptoms affect/influence your sexuality (and I havent found anybody use just the schiz prefix rather than schizo)

Those of you who know more than me about not only psychosis but psychiatry in general (or those that have experienced what I'm about to describe) will probably be able to respond to this.

But how does a psychiatrist differentiate between brief psychotic disorder, schizophreniform and schizophrenia?

Because, bear with me. Patient (or patient's family member or caregiver or just generally someone who's concerned for this person's wellbeing) comes to you with the complaint that they've been seeing, hearing, believing things that aren't real and/or having negative and disorganized symptoms, and they can't function because of this. Can't go to work, can't go to school, can't be social, thinking doesn't work, the voices don't let me do anything, etc.

You ask them how long this has gone on for. They say about a month.

You can't just tell them to wait and see if it goes away, right? It's a month for brief psychotic disorder and 6 for schizophreniform, I believe. How, then, does a psychiatrist decide to prescribe an antipsychotic? Because if you prescribe it now and it works, you'll never know if this person will need it for the rest of their lives or only until this episode dies down.

Unless there's something I don't know about? I don't know, I've read that sometimes schizophreniform can be an early form of schizophrenia and that I believe a quarter of schizophreniform patients develop schizophrenia later, but you can only know that if the schizophreniform isn't treated, right?
