Patient File: Lysandre
It's the 4th of July.....so naturally I'm analyzing a Frenchman.
In public, Lysandre is the head of Lysandre Labs, a charitable philanthropist responsible for the Holocaster technology used across the Kalos region. In secret, Lysandre is the boss of Team Flare, a criminal group that wants to wipe out all life in Kalos, and then the world, save for a chosen few that will restore the environment to its original natural beauty and purge all perceived ugliness from life.
The difference between Lysandre's public perception and his true self is quite stark. What led a man of privilege like him to such extreme, misanthropic beliefs? And is there anything that can remedy it?
To start with, it must be noted that Lysandre is descended from ancient Kalosian royalty, being the brother of the infamous King who built and activated the Ultimate Weapon of legend. This status warped Lysandre's view of people early in his life. It made him believe that certain people are inherently better than others, that they are "chosen" for greatness. This belief also placed a great sense of burden upon him, as he made it his life's mission to live up to that greatness. He saw it as his duty to provide for his region, to give to those less fortunate, to help shape a brighter future for everyone.
But Lysandre's ideals ended up clashing with reality. For everything he provided, there were people who misused or squandered it. For all he gave to the poor, he couldn't single-handedly solve income inequality meaning there were always more poor people in need. And for as much as he tried to create a better future, he ended up seeing signs everywhere of a worse on. Some signs may have been legitimate, many likely just in his own paranoid mind, but whatever the case it left him devoid of satisfaction and fulfillment. Being a man whose emotions burn fiercely, Lysandre began to feel deep hatred. Hatred for people who didn't notice or care about how they were affecting society. Hatred for the poor whom he saw as "parasites" who didn't fight hard enough to advance themselves in favor of taking from those who worked for their fortune. And hatred for things like deforestation, pollution, crime, war, and general lack of decorum. Lysandre became a misanthrope, seeing fault in everyone but himself and "chosen ones" that he deemed respectable like himself.
While Lysandre does feel remorse for the lengths he is willing to go to in order to cleanse the world of all that he perceives to be ugly, knowing it to be morally wrong, he keeps himself on this path anyway because he feels it's the only solution and that as a chosen one it is his burden to bear - that he has come too far to turn back now. Despite this, Lysandre is pathologically hypocritical. He wishes to be someone who gives, and yet his ultimate plan is to take the lives of many. He hates selfish, greedy and frivolous people and yet many such people make up the ranks of Team Flare all because they had a lot of money which Lysandre automatically thinks makes them self-sufficient workers who benefit society. And he considers himself to be an idealist even though his view of everything and what must be done about it is so deeply cynical. It's to the point where he can manipulate and threaten and do unimaginably cruel things while still insisting it's other humans, including his victims, that are the problem. In one famous instance, he wept for the Pokémon of the world that he felt he had no choice but to kill, saying as long as they exist humans will be tempted to abuse them as tools, making them and others suffer. He says this while he is enacting a plan that is abusing Pokémon as tools, making them and others suffer! The depth of his delusion and utter lack of self-awareness is stunning to behold.
Diagnosis: Lysandre suffers from a triple whammy of Paranoid Personality Disorder, Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder, and Narcissistic Personality Disorder, with sociopathic tendencies as well even if he lacks the criteria to be a full sociopath. Treatment will be exceedingly difficult, but one aspect of his warped psyche can be used to the advantage of this end: his respect for fellow "chosen ones". Lysandre is not narcissistic enough to believe that only he has value, as he takes the views of other chosen ones seriously even if he disagrees with them - a prime example being his friend Professor Sycamore. If such people keep working with Lysandre to show him better alternatives to the problems he sees than his genocidal aims, it is possible that he will calm down and adjust to a safer way. It will take a lot of time and effort, but it is recommended as the only way to save him. For if he isn't saved, then the likelihood of self-destruction is great, and unfortunately Lysandre is a man with the will and power to take many others down with him.
This patient is sometimes dangerous. It depends on whether or not he views you as among the "chosen" or not. If he does, you may engage with him intellectually. If he does not, avoid at all costs.

Self-diagnosed PPD culture is being sick of your constant paranoia, but being scared to tell anyone so you can get diagnosed and get help because you’re scared they’ll use it to hurt you.

I hate that I’m so self-destructive. I wish I could just let the paranoid thoughts stay as thoughts and not destroy my relationships constantly seeking out affirmations. I wish I didn’t take every little thing as some sort of conspiracy against me. I wish I didn’t constantly think people were going to abandon me. I wish my actions because of these thoughts didn’t cause me to lose my friends.
I wish I wasn’t such a self-fulfilling prophecy.

should i just spend the 40 bucks and speak to a psychologist or councelor or whatever and get over myself -_-
#i dont trust the 40 dollar 'you pay' estimate but ill clarify on the phone. i dont understand co pay versus what i actually pay#esp w like behavioral health stuff like do they start tacking on charges with certain questions#'get over myself' means get over my nauseating fear of mind doctors who are out to get me and make me unable to get a job w#a diagnosis (i do not have any symptoms that would require this at all i am just paranoid)#alas. spent an hour planning on what to say and wrote over four pages of symptoms and insite. can i just fax this to someone and the can#send follow up questions#expode. anywyas it is rough lately in weird ways compared to normal. like the normal stuff is at a low point its other things that are#getting at me lately.

recently been seeing (and seeking) more info on moral ocd and its like wellll it does seem like i definitely have that but talking about the stuff i obsess over w my psychiatrist feels impossible bc i cant admit to thinking about it without feeling like a horrible person, so im just gonna keep sweeping it under the rug lol....
#97#i also do not trust psychiatrists to correctly diagnose me unless i specifically tell them like.#about symptoms that are So Obviously caused by one illness that they basically cant get it wrong if theyre competent#any psych couldve diagnosed my did if theyre not of the 'did doesnt exist' camp bc i exhibit v clear symptoms of it#anything more complex than that..#eg. on my disability paperwork im marked down as having a 'profound personality disorder'#im not diagnosed with Any personality disorder.#im diagnosed w schizoaffective bipolar + did + adhd#alongside suspected ptsd + suspected anxiety disorder + undiagnosed ed (psych isnt specialized enough to diagnose it)#and on a waitlist for autism diagnosis#which one of these is the personality disorder?? they just say shit#i want to ask but i have this paranoid fear that my psych doesnt believe in my schizoaffective diagnosis#(hes not the one who made it) and im afraid that if i ask abt diagnosis hell like.#essentially deny the issues i have and have put so much effort into recognizing and accepting as real#and instead diagnose me w something i evidently dont have like bpd#the only way i could see my schizoaffective dx being wrong is if i have schizoid pd tho so maybe i rly should ask#bc its difficult to tell for myself whether what i refer to as delusions may be 'magical beliefs' under schizoid pd#but then again i think some of them are too extreme to be that??

#been in therapy recently testing the waters and potentially seeking a different diagnosis#been very paranoid and obsessive as of late (the last three years at the very least)#and been struggling to get myself out of those spirals#looking into ocd with my therapist bc i feel a lot of my symptoms lean obsessive and my coping mechanism could be considered compulsions#either way i need to get back on medication lol bc i'm sick of ruminating over conversations with my friends for days and weeks#and convincing myself i've done or said something embarrassing bad or unforgivable#and my reassurance seeking behavior often leaves me feeling worse so..... need to care less somehow#mental health tw#ocd tw#anxiety tw

Dude, asp3rgers is literally named after Hans Apserger, a Nazi. Just use Google my guy, you're using Nazi terminology, dickhead.
Imagine blaming someone for the name of their PROFESSIONAL DIAGNOSIS, my guy.
Like, does it occur to you that this is the most far removed you could ever get from "activism".
What made you wake up in the morning and come to me specifically, by the way? Have you been sending this to everyone else in the world who was told by a fucking doctor that they have a mental disorder called Asperger's that has done been a thing probably their whole lives, and telling them THEY are perpetuating bigotry by going on with their damn life and accepting the word they've been given for their condition?
Whaddaya want? Ya want me to frantically scurry to my Carrd to change the label? Would that make me less of a direct contributor to anti-Semitism?
Ehehehehehehe, here I was bitching about anti-kink fuckers when the internet has people like you misfiring their righteous anger so hard that you're mad at random mentally ill people for being oh... so, so ignorant to the catastrophic harm they're causing for not suspecting that the label they were given might be a Nazi term~!
You are the most self-important asshole I have ever seen, and that's saying a lot considering the shit I've witnessed online. I hope you're as miserable a person as this makes you sound, because my god, this is pathetic.
I did look it up btw, for anyone who is curious. It looks like anon is indeed correct about the origins of the name.
I still don't give a single pebble of my oddly blue shit because I am not fucking responsible for any of this.
Yes, my shit is blue right now because I ate some heavily-dyed cake yesterday. Yes, I loved adding that to my response to this person and their worthless take. Enjoy reading about my bowel status before I cast you into obscurity, as your next messages will be ignored unless you have the balls to come off anon about it.
Go fuck yourself. 💖
For everyone else:
Do I need to explain btw that if someone came to me in GOOD FAITH to inform me of the fact that a label I'm using may bring up terrible feelings for people because of its origins, I'd legit listen and go change it?
I probably will change it anyway because I identify more with "autism" (because I get to say "I have awootism" and that's hilarious—also I can just say "I'm autistic", but there doesn't seem to be a grammatical equivalent for Asperger's).
But this is not how you have a fucking conversation.
This is not how you inform innocent people of a dark history behind something they grew up with.
This person is not AT ALL concerned with me becoming a better person or being more sensitive to others or learning a lesson. This person JUST wants to take their own self-hatred out on some rando online, to make me feel guilty for shit I was unaware of, and to make themself feel superior in whatever desperate way they can.
I see right through this garbage because I witness it daily.
My brother and my closest high school friend were both diagnosed with Asperger's YEARS before I ever was. I grew up with this. I grew up proud to be this, because I recognized that it made me different from my peers in a way that would gain me discrimination and bullying, but that I could also have solidarity with the other kids who understood what it was like.
So.
Genuinely.
I will change the name for MYSELF, because of MY new experiences and information from my doctors.
And I will not rush to do so because I have better things to do with my time than sweat and panic over what some little insect thinks about my Carrd. I have a game to work on, a dog to let out, a job to go to, and a husband to cuddle. Oh, and of course, I gotta finish my replay of BotW so I can jump on TotK when my husband is done playing it! Priorities, hello! xP
#answers#anon#actually autistic#asperger's#anon hate#faux progressivism#is there a tag for funny anon harassment asks#jesus fuck I'm paranoid but not THIS paranoid#who in their right mind would receive a diagnosis and then go#“oh god I'd better check to make sure it's not problematic for me to call myself this”#the NERVE#the absolute BALLS on this person#oh wait#I take that back#they're on anon haha#probably a troll too tbh?#but man this was fun to respond to#I hope you guys understand how much I love dunking on bullies#you FUEL me little shit#I thrive on reminding you how tiny and garbage you are#in no less then fifteen paragraphs#ahahahahahahahhaa

Learning about the brain in cognitive psychology is so funny bc I keep introspecting about my own behaviors and coming up with ridiculous conclusions about is physically wrong with my brain.
Can't balance very well-> it's so sad I only have half a basal ganglia
Bad at suppressing emotions+can't plan or keep track of time-> my prefrontal cortex has a thorn in it :((

having a huge fear of cancer / long-term illness and working in a healthcare setting that treats people with cancer + LTCs is such an insane feeling. like i am literally getting paid to spiral and hyperfixate on my biggest fears
#hours of my day looking at 'life expectancy varies for patients of this group' abt conditions i or my loved ones had/have#and the 1 in 2 people get a cancer diagnosis stat is really. doing something to my brain#its like getting paid to be paranoid about my own health which is cool because i already do that#at least i get to help people though

FML i am yet again reminded that info on the internet is still so outdated on schizospec illnesses and there is much to be done in changing that and thus fighting stigma and i feel like we have to singlehandedly fight it on top of all our issues + comorbidities that make us nonfunctioning + stigma that make us outcasts of society it wears me out (but not enough to stfu and go to sleep apparently cos we on that stress hormone energy now)
If i read about "schizophrenic subtypes" one more time i will scream*
#*but maybe in my head cos I've got a headache#*but maybe just in my head cos stigma y'all and i got a headache#schizophrenia disinfo#hebrephenia is not its own diagnosis#paranoid schizophrenia is not a thing it only really worsens stigma imo#healthline stfu#webmd stfu#it's so hard to find info on schizospec illness!#it's all so rudimentary#i need to make my schizo awareness YouTube like YESTERDAY#but once I've calmed down and had a sleep

Did the Schizotypal Personality Questionnaire. Result is 55. Anything above 41 is considered a high score, according to the website. I had the lowest "points" in "Magical thinking" but then I remembered I've been taking antipsychotics for like two years so. Uh, yeah, I sure hope it does.
#the doctor that first prescribed me aripiprazole said i had a combination of autism/stpd#we thought she was mistaken as stpd is overdiagnosed in Russia. but my mom says she thinks so too.#but it feels a bit off. just from the Wikipedia page i relate to like. half the things.#maybe two thirds. the point is - i don't like self-diagnosing. so i won't say anything for sure.#my official diagnosis is paranoidal schizophrenia anyways (i don't have it but that's a long story)

haha no im actually crying im just so glad to actually have some answers and to be taken seriously.
my doctor even agreed i shouldnt be taking any drugs (prescription or otc) until i get a holter monitor and it just made me feel so reassured cause everyone has ACTUALLY called me crazy and said im overreacting for refusing to take them.
and just to know all of my symptoms could have a diagnosis... Haha... wow. what an incredible birthday gift actually, to finally be taken seriously. to have answers. to have hope.
#no one wants to be disabled but especially no one wants to be disabled without a diagnosis.#haha im#besties im crying#i told the people who have been saying im overreacting and that im being paranoid for rno reason and they genuinely refused to apologize#but it doesnt matter#because i was RIGHT.#i wasnt being crazy.#i wasnt having anxiety.#i actually have hope about my health for the first time in a long time.#im still worried about aneurysms but at least i dont have to be worried about my heart giving out
