people: you need to get an official diagnosis from a psychiatrist!!!
psychiatrists: *misdiagnosed me with different things like +4 times and filled me with unnecessary medicine*
#i don't remember which diagnoses they actually formally gave me and which they suspected or medicated me for without a formal label#like i don't trust 99% of all doctors now lol#my first psych appointment was when i was 14 and im 28 now#like i've been at so many clinics#with both private psychiatrists and public ones#with psychologists and therapists too#i've been hospitalised at the psych ward#and i've just been misdiagnosed like.. as in the last thing they said to me is that my formal diagnosis is wrong#but they didn't want to rediagnose me with something else#they just said im not bipolar and it's uhh dissociation from trauma#and they mentioned cptsd and that i have alters ig#and the alters are dissociation and not psychosis as they first thought oof#but like... can i trust them that im not psychotic? like i don't think that i am#but bro i have no faith in danish psychiatrists or psychologists lol#my posts#personal#also this is a vent post#i am psych critical and i think there's a lack in trauma informed psychiatrists/therapists in my country#but like im still trying to find a new psychiatrist lol it's just hard bc the waiting lists here at +2 years for just a general psychiatris#and i need someone who knows about complex childhood trauma#so idk how long i'm gonna have to wait yet

i think a lot of people have never been in a truly desperate situation but think they have, and this causes them to pass really harsh judgment on people who made bad choices when either irrational or having no good choices to pick instead, and i really wish people could get some fucking self-perception and work on their compassion skills and not fucking do that as much anymore
#jack facts#people be banging on about empathy this empathy that#and like sure maybe people have a measurable capacity for it but i can tell you what#that sure as fuck don't mean any fucking one of them ever bothers to make use of it when it matters lol#and i mean on the other hand it's hard to conceptualize how you would feel going through something you've never experienced before#i just wish people would be AWARE of the fact they don't know!#or like that there's a difference between ''i can't afford anything but instant ramen'' and ''i can't get any food or water''#or a difference between being freaked out by spiders and having clinical arachnophobia#or a difference between ''my loved one is sick and i'm really worried about them'' and ''my loved one is dying in front of me''#etc etc etc etc etc#anyway the longer i live the more i'm convinced that empathy is a garbage concept#and actually a more reliable way to act with true compassion is through at least some capacity for relative objectivity#the ability to say ''i don't know how that feels and i cannot understand it through comparison'' and to be able AND WILLING#to take people's self reports on their feelings thought processes or lackthereof in good faith and with sympathy#and also the ability to acknowledge that doing a bad thing for good reasons does not negate the bad thing being bad#but also should and does change what consequences are appropriate and/or most effective#and also like............... things people do in desperation or other irrational states do not represent Who They Are As A Person#or what it's like to hang out with them in a day to day situation#another thing i keep getting more and more aware of is like. if y'all can't even handle an irrational or impulsive choice that does harm#done by an otherwise ''good'' person under short term desperate situations#that they then do their best to reduce the harm of after the situation is over#i can not even imagine how absolutely unforgiving you must be of anyone who has delusions#and i mean real delusions and real psychosis not the hyperbolic babytalk version lol#like i don't think most of you even know what the fuck a delusion even is the way you act about things as simple & straightforward as like#fear. hunger. pain.#absolutely fucking exhausting

flipping absolute shit right now for so many many reasons. most prominently bc my friend is tripping for far too long on LSD and i'm scared she's actually having a psychotic break but im four hours away in rural connecticut supposed to be on vacation and almost no one at bramble is stepping up to help out with her and it's like what's the fucking point of living in community if they don't step up to the fucking plate when someone's having a medical emergency?? and me and harry are somehow supposed to make judgment calls about whether she goes to the ER and possibly a psych ward and we're ALSO supposed to rally more people to help trip sit, and keep track of the whole situation even though we're literally not physically there and cannot be physically there, in my case until tmrw afternoon and in harry's case not at all, and no one else is stepping in to offer to watch her, or to be on call if ppl need help in the middle of the night, and all harry and i can do is message everyone frantically and hope the few people who are committing to being there for her have enough energy to last this crisis... like actually fuck everyone
#p#like why am i point person for this. i am not even fucking there#i'm not her best friend. i'm not her family. and yet it feels like i'm the only one advocating for her#like okay. if i were freaking out after a bad trip who the fuck would step up for me? bc now i've lost faith in so many of my housemates#like are you fucking kidding me she could be developing a long term psychosis issue#we talk a big talk about communal living and mutual aid so where the fuck is it???

the backstory short story about anders he fuses with justice, immediately starts hallucinating the grey wardens as templars and literally eats them alive then snaps out of it like “omg im a demon now nooooooo” like he doesn’t even get that bad in the game itself what the fuck? EATING PEOPLE? 😭 but also i’m imagining him stone cold biting people when he’s fighting like a fucking feral raccooooon 😭 😭😭
#its so weird the disconnect between ‘his political views are the product of psychosis’ and ‘kirkwall is on the brink of genocide as#corroborated by everyone around him’ like. im trying so so so hard to be as good faith as possible

#i saw a legitimate ad for a therapist advertised as ''neurospicy support''#we need to kill tiktokkers i am so fucking tired of the uwu-ification of mental illness to the point where its infesting professionals#yeah its teehee funny to you cause you have mild depression. my psychosis makes me perpetually suicidal#i dont want someone that uses these dumbass trendy internet terms doing my therapy#i would not have faith that this person would be professional or take me seriously#i dont care about your tiktok induced adhd shut up shut up shut uppppopp

Hi c: . My name is Ally Cat and I just turned 21. I was diagnosed bipolar 1 with psychotic features a week ago. My second episode of psychotic mania landed me in a partial hospitalization program. I experienced horrific bursts of energy and hallucinations.. This account is my art journal. This is where I let it out — My pain. And my Hope.

Where’s that “the right thing to do is not say anything… and you didn’t say anything! congratulations!” sticker
because I want one
#wife and SIL are trying to help a friend who struggles with psychosis#and the forms the psychosis takes are heavily influenced by this friend’s christian beliefs#and it’s difficult to disentangle the delusions that are hurting her from her faith (which is important to her)#and it would be. SO easy. for me. to be the MOST ASSHOLE ATHEIST. about this#and I am not doing it#I am not doing it so hard#look how hard I am not doing it#this is a genuinely nuanced and painful situation for which I am uniquely unsuited to offer relevant commentary#and I am NOT offering it!

"God is not benevolent. God does not love us. All that has been spoken of and preached about is a lie."
#👻 akari hara.#👻 status.#i like how akari went from having religious psychosis/mania before meeting arceus to. whatever is the opposite after meeting him#heretic mania??? she was literally hysterical making sure her children never followed the faith of arceus#which did not work out in the end unfortunately bc dawn's grandparents are obsessed w this dude

Shifting is a new age belief prevalent on tiktok that you can psychically astral project into an alternate or even fictional universe. There was recently some huge drama with a shifter accidentally killing a fictional character during a shift and other members of the community trying to convince them that it was morally the same as killing a human being.
Since uh, self hypnotizing so hard you hallucinate an entirely separate universe is difficult, it's pretty common for people to ask 'more experienced shifters' for advice which is what that comment is about.
#or maybe you knew that and were trying to come up with some saner explanations to cut the last commenter some slack#in which case i admire your faith in humanity and i sincerely hope you're right#nothing will convince me its not dangerous to force yourself to lose touch with reality and there been a huge rise in reported psychosis#cases since the beginning of the pandemic which i honestly think this is an offshoot from

No matter what kind of spirituality or faith you practice, you should be educated on spiritual psychosis and how to recognize its signs. The more awareness we spread about this, the less harm over time to religious communities across the globe. Learning about spiritual psychosis saves lives.

for the ctommy asks, how do you feel about religious ctommy headcanons or the headcanon where butterflies follow him around because they like dead things?
I adore both of these headcanons a lot bc 1. It’s literally canon and 2. The Beauty in the Rot (OBSESSED!!!)
I think Tommy’s faith (twitch prime) is so interesting as both a comfort and a detriment at times… he worships and is blessed by patron saint drista with the sacred dagger to hunt those who hunt him and I am deeply gagged by that (they don’t know what they did) (I love psychosis but also I’m right). With the addition of cdream being religious as well…fucking insaneeeeeeee asylum. Insane. He uses his faith to get what he wants and justify torment or bond tommy to him even more than he already has 🙏☝️+ the whole I’m A God thing. BRUHHHH HIS SACRILEGE WILL KNOW NO PUNISHMENT IG 😭😭😭😭 sorry this became a c!disc ramble
#tommy being blessed and also cursed#yuh… and on the third day#this got rly incomprehensible sorry but also idgaf#if u don’t get it u don’t get it babe…#c!tommy#c!discduo#my art#doodles#dsmp

You want some help with that, my dude?
#utterly nightmarish that the thing that used to give me comfort also instills this kind of genocidal psychosis in people#it's precisely why I ended up distancing myself from my faith to the point i'm agnostic now#it's one thing to be part of a religion that gets villified by people#it's another to be part of a religion that is run by actual villains who want people to suffer to get what they want#sorry for going off in the tags#just having a lot of thoughts about this stuff lately#important reblog#tw religious trauma#evangelism

here’s my hot take of the night:
the e-temples that have been cropping up lately are cool, and im glad to see people making specific spaces to come together to worship. that’s awesome! i’m very here for that as a concept. i love nothing more than to see the theoi get the praise they deserve.
that being said, i am very wary about the amount of people i have seen calling themselves priests/priestesses lately. not even just in the e-temples! ive seen multiple people in the tags who have in their bio “priest(ess) of [deity].” i realize most people probably don’t mean harm by it, but it gets under my skin. to call yourself clergy implies a specific level of knowledge and experience with a religion (which isn’t my business to get involved in your praxis like that, that’s personal unless you wanna share it), but more importantly, official recognition by an established institution. there are not that many of these (that i am aware of) for hellenic polytheism. calling yourself clergy is simply that — calling yourself that. there’s no backing for it, and it genuinely concerns me.
we as the polytheist community talk a lot about harmful practices in spirituality, things like spiritual psychosis or cultural appropriation, which are important topics to discuss. it’s been said before and i’ll say again — people claiming to be spiritual authorities of some kind without any kind of proof can be very dangerous. i don’t assume anyone has bad intentions. i give people the benefit of the doubt and assume that everyone is just trying to help other people worship. but it doesn’t change the fact that calling yourself a priest(ess) will make impressionable or unsure people look up to you, and that is a hell of a lot of responsibility. i am concerned that there are minors running these kinds of blogs. that’s a lot of pressure on someone’s shoulders, especially to put on someone who is still growing up and developing their research and critical thinking skills. i don’t want to gatekeep or anything like that. im very glad to see minors having really good experiences with their faith, that they’re excited to share it with others. but it just concerns me.
im certainly not as experienced as other practitioners on this site, having had about two years of experience at this point, but i am very wary of anyone who claims to be any kind of authority on anything unless you can back it up. regardless of if your blog says that you’re not an authority, calling yourself clergy of any kind implies that. people will take it that way. it inherently implies a level of authority, knowledge, and experience on a particular subject, which is usually backed up by having an official institution that recognizes you.
perhaps this is a little callous of me, but in the same way that when someone makes a claim about the theoi academically, i expect them to have sources to prove it, i expect clergy to have some kind of proof of their authority. otherwise, what are you doing that’s different than any other tumblr blog?
to be clear, i don’t have an issue with these devotional spaces. i simply take an issue with people referring to themselves as clergy when that is a particular term with a particular context and a particular implication. words have power. i earnestly think if people just called themselves something like ‘stewards’ of a particular temple, i wouldn’t be so bothered by it. or just call yourself a devotee of a particular god. ultimately, at the end of the day, the words we use have power and implications, and that has to be acknowledged and respected. send tweet
#helpol#hellenic polytheism#my posts#i might delete this later. idk. im feeling saucy tonight.#i think i need to be more on the hard recon side of helpol tumblr but most of those blogs post pretty infrequently unfortunately#which im guilty of too because i dont make original content often#but whateva#im just kvetching at this point#i should make a tag for that#kvetching tag
