We'll most likely be working on our AAC and/or making icons and chatting while live, so feel free to stop by and hang out even if you can't/don't want to donate - though everyone who donates any amount during the stream gets a custom doodle/icon (even if we don't get to them all during the stream, we'll continue them and send them out post-stream)
If anyone wants to be on a tag list, feel free to let us know, and we'll @ you on the "we're about to start" post <3
If anyone is willing and able to spare a few dollars, we're fundraising to buy the lifetime membership for Coughdrop AAC (one-time purchase of 295 $USD)
We're currently an unemployed student whose disabilities make it difficult to earn much income -> currently, most of our funds go towards medication, appointments, and food
We plan to host a livestream "donathon" in which we'll draw a little doodle for every person who donates during the livestream, but we don't know exactly when that'll be...
Please don't feel pressured to donate if you're not in a place to safely do so! Times are tough, and there's nothing wrong with prioritizing your health and well-being <3
If you can though, our Ko-fi is

There’s nothing inherently “scary” about someone talking to themself in public.
There’s nothing “scary” about someone rocking back and forth in public.
There’s nothing “scary” about someone pacing back and forth in public.
Some of y’all are just ableist.

Unfortunately, I think stigmatised disorder (personality disorders, psychotic disorders, etc) culture is realising something you experience has a name and finally feeling seen, but you go to google it for more resources and only find people talking about how horrible and morally evil you are for daring to have that symptom you never chose in the first place.

Honestly, talking to our hallucinations is hilarious.
There's a weird figure in the dark? Dude, get off of my lawn. Go home.
We see a cat for a split second but it was never there? There goes the extradimensional cat, that's a good kitty.
We see bugs that aren't real? Besties you really gotta start paying rent to be in here!
There's weird figures darting around the corners of our vision, never clear enough to be seen? Sorry we looked at you, I totally get social anxiety!
It makes it seem less serious and lets less room for fear to creep in, because when we get afraid is really when it gets bad. "Why are you talking to yourself?" So I don't go insane actually. Deal with it.

Friendly (or unfriendly if you're against this) reminder that this blog is supportive of ALL disorders. This blog does not think ANY disorder inherently makes someone a bad person, and is against any disorder being demonized. This blog wholeheartedly believes that a bad person having a disorder, yes, even if things that are also symptoms of their disorder are part of what caused harm, does not make the disorder a "bad" or "evil" disorder or excuse ableism and demonization directed towards the disorder.
Yes this includes personality disorders
Including npd and aspd
Yes this includes all psychotic disorders & disorders that cause psychotic symptoms
Yes this includes paraphilic disorders. All of them.
Yes this includes disorders that cause, or are even characterized by, attention seeking
Yes this includes disorders that directly have lying as a common symptom
Yes this includes dissociative disorders
Yes this includes any disorder with "gross" symptoms
Yes this includes physical disorders too
Yes this includes disorders that can cause loss of control of any kind- control of speech, control of body movement, etc.
Yes tis includes disorders that make someone "look scary"
This goes for literally any fucking disorder. There are not exceptions.
#disability activism#ableism#demonization#disability awareness#personality disorders#npd#aspd#psychotic#psychotic disorders#paraphilic disorder#attention seeking#pathological lying#dissociative disorder#idk what other tags to put#also additional note I literally have a couple disorders on this list#and symptoms of several too#so if you're thinking of trying to argue on this post just fuck off#I guarantee you will not change my mind#and I don't want to hear it either

psychotic besties. I mean this dead seriously: do not share the nature of your psychosis online. do not tell internet strangers what triggers you. the internet is already cruel enough to those of us who experience psychosis, and there are people out there who will think it’s funny or interesting to use your psychosis against you. please be safe out there!
and anyone who likes to trigger peoples’ psychosis on purpose? fucking stop doing that

A large part of the Internet: You can't make jokes about minority groups you are not a part of! Punching down is not just joking, it's bullying! Mental health matters! Mentally ill people deserve to be treated like anyone else!
A large part of the Internet also: *my friend disappearing when I take my schizophrenia pills memes* She's so delulu!! *memes designed to specifically trigger paranoia in people with a mental illness that includes paranoia* Lol schizo whips!!! *memes about lobotomies* Omg this murderer must be PSYCHOTIC!!

If you struggle with substance abuse but not addiction, you still deserve support. If you struggle with suicidality/self harm urges but don't act on it, you still deserve support. If you struggle with psychosis and paranoia but have insight, you still deserve support. If you struggle with anything but are "coping with it," you still deserve support.
You dont need to be in imminent crisis to get help - safety planning, harm reduction, resources, and accommodations. You're still struggling. You're still suffering, You're still at risk/in danger. You deserve better - you need better. Your health and wellbeing matters.

Some ways people helped me while I was in psychosis:
Remaining calm since everything was amplified to me. Yelling at me could do something like trigger my mind to think nuclear bombs are falling
Listening to me without intentionally confirming my delusions or feeding them. This kept me safe from spiraling
Being kind. No matter how unwell I was I could still detect kindness
Having someone to advocate for me
Simply keeping me company. A silent distraction from a mind full of delusions goes a long way
Letting me vent however I needed to (as long as I wasn't an endangerment to myself or others)
Talking to me in good spirits. In psychosis a bad mood is contagious
Reminding me to take my medication or softly reinforcing their importance
Not acting like I'm unruly and viewing me with eyes of compassion
Providing me with basic comforts like food, drinks and clothing
Playing calming music
Laughing with me and not at me
Gently encouraging personal hygiene
Accepting that nonsensical ramblings or writings happen
Understanding that delusions may hold very big power over someone and can persuade someone to do things out of "character"
Being supportive of my being sober
Guiding me away from toxic individuals who don't have my best interest at heart
Not holding grudges no matter how embarrassing I may be when I was lost in my mind
Joining me outside to feel the comforts of the outdoors (once I was stable with mental health support)
Providing hugs as long as it was consensual
Most importantly I was seen as a person. Someone with as many complexities as anyone else

What are some things other psychotics do to differentiate between hallucination and reality? And what are ways some of you hold off symptoms? Looking to get a nice thread for people to help each other going here, this stuff isn't posted about enough.
Ways we prevent symptoms/stop them from progressing:
Make background noise to prevent auditory hallucinations. Most of ours start by hearing something that we can't identify the cause of in the background, and our brain starts the spiral from there. So we listen to music all the time and sleep with a fan on every single night, even in the winter. We just point it away from us if we don't want it making us cold.
Blame the cat (or other pets). Any weird movement, scratching, crunching or thumping? That's just Jerry, don't worry about it. He's a silly cat that does cat things even while we're sleeping. Any noise can be blamed on pets or the wind, which stops the paranoia from setting in and making everything bad.
We also tell ourselves that if there was an actual issue like an intruder or monster, the cat would hiss or scream, and the dog would be barking or making noise. This can be applied to many pets.
Stay busy. Focus on something--art, video games, tv shows and films, craft, gardening, anything that keeps you thinking. Don't let the anxiety get to you, just stay focused on your regular life.
Laugh at it. You're hallucinating a monster in your peripheral vision? Name it Fred and tell him to pay rent. You hear weird noises? Tell them to come back with a warrant. For us, treating symptoms like they're jokes or not serious makes us less anxious and therefore makes it easier to get back to a point where we're okay.
Having a friend or a pet near you can help. We feel safer and less alone when we see another living thing near us that's safe. We don't feel as much like we're trapped in another dimension that way.
How we differentiate between reality and unreality:
Touch it. This one only works for things you're not scared of, and if you don't have tactile hallucinations. It's not foolproof! But when we're seeing things like bugs and stuff, reaching out to touch them causes them to fade away so we know they're fake.
Ask friends and other trusted people if they "heard that" or "saw anything". If they're psychosis friendly, feel free to explain and be specific. If not, be vague and keep it to simple things like "hey did you hear anything? I couldn't tell what it was", if that will be safe enough. Having people to ground you can be great.
Look at how others around you are acting. Are they running or interacting with the thing in question in any way? Do they seem to look at it or no? If no one is noticing, it's less likely to be real.
These won't work for everyone and some of these might be harmful to others, but they're helpful to us. You know best what will help you!
Please feel free to add your own! We need more discussion around psychosis that isn't "scary evil person disorder and how to deal with people who have it".
