Can people stop fucking using the term “delulu” or using “delusional” improperly can people stop making light of symptoms of mental illness if you are not affected by it.

It is like saying “Oh I’m so OCD” for just wanting everything to be clean or something

Shut the fuck up

You are not delusional just for having a crush on somebody who does not like you back or for wanting something that is generally unlikely to happen

Stop using mental illness as your quirky little fun language I bet the second you see someone who experiences delusions you will get extremely uncomfortable and want them out of your sight

hiiiiiii friendly reminder to not go knocking on strangers doors and running away :)) or just doing that at all :) some of us have sheer paranoia that can render us stressed for time long after the action is done :) because you don’t experience consequences doesn’t mean you’re free to go around doing this like a fucking asshole. :). I know most people who’d listen to this don’t go around doing it but I hope that at least one person reconsiders doing this just to look cool in front of their friends. You don’t seem awesome, you just make it clear your an uncaring asshole and nobody will come to you. I hope karma does its thing. :)

I wish people weren't so quick to interpret everything in bad faith. Today, I saw a comment claiming someone was "promoting delusional therian behaviors." When I asked for further clarification, the commenter explained that the person in question experienced a phantom tail, which they deemed delusional. I replied that somatic shifting, or phantom limbs, is not always a sign of mental illness or delusions. While they can be delusions, this is not always the case. As a result, several users insulted and accused me of encouraging delusions. Somatic shifting is a common experience among therians, and not everyone who experiences shifts is delusional. Also, it feels as though they equated being delusional with being wrong. Therians who experience delusions are not inherently evil or in need of fixing. Delusional therians have the right to exist, whether their therianthropy stems from their delusions or is an entirely separate aspect of their identity. No one has the right to deny their existence.

npd culture is being ashamed to call your delusions of grandeur delusions of grandeur. because "i'm not like. actually delusional. i don't have any kind of psychosis. i'm just setting goals for myself :))" and then the goals are like. be globally beloved forever make all your friends go viral be recognized as the coolest hippest person in the world defeat ableism forever. all before i reach 30.

I would love to party with Eric Bogosian for many reasons but first and foremost because 1) he has stories and 2) he does Not have a front-end filter. Homeboy will be on a Zoom interview like "not to overshare but once I forgot a traumatic event in my own life for 12 years and even though I didn't remember it consciously it affected everything I did"

Really endearing quality in a party interlocutor, especially if you're both sober

I feel so much emotions sometimes, I wonder if people within the schizo-spec relate to it.

Like it's. Huge.

The biggest emotions, moving, crashing down on me, but they have no name. I can't know, for the love of God, what they are. They're just here and crushing me and overwhelming me. Making me paralysed and stuck and wrong.

And some other times, generally when I'm supposed to feel joy, pure joy, content, happiness, euphoria, whatever you wanna call it, I feel nothing and really want to be alone at home rather than surrounded by those people, even if i know them.

I'm realising that often, I fake happiness because I'm supposed to be happy, but really, i feel neutral or even annoyed.

For example, I was at my first ever pride. It was big, colourful, loud, people smiling and laughing and dancing and singing, my friends deeply enjoying themselves...

But honestly. I would have rather been home, doing my usual stuff.

I love my friends, I love my job, I love my coworkers, I even love people, but I like being alone better. I like being in my own little calm corner. Or not calm. But my corner.

Sorry for the rant. DAE within schizo-spec relate ?

i don't miss kinblr, but i miss people being open about their delusions and generally having a sense of whimsy about them instead of focusing on repressing them so hard that they become a bitter unpleasant person who mocks anyone who even somewhat seems like theyre a "kinnie" from 2017.

Jokes on you, I’ll NEVER give up hope that Prodigal Son can be renewed. NEVER.

the soulless jack “arc” is both very horrifically sad and very horrifically funny bc on one side everybody is freaking out panicking brandishing weapons thinking that jack went dark side slash rogue slash awol or that he finally succumbed to his dominant evil genetics and betrayed them or something , meanwhile jack on the other side is almost-crying and panicking and hallucinating and literally punching the air because he’s so upset and confused about what he did and afraid that he’s gonna lose everything if he can’t fix it . like

Bobby: yerp he’s too outta control and sick I’m sorry I fought alongside him too but we gotta put the dog down boys he clearly chose his side and was obviously genetically predisposed to being evil anyways. I’m gonna get my gun

Jack: IF I DONT BRING HER BACK AND FIX THIS I AM NEVER FUCKING SEEING THEM AGAIN AND THEY’LL NEVER WANNA BE FRIENDS AGAIN I DONT KNOW WHAT TO FUCKING DO I JUST WANT MY MOM I JUST WANNA GO HOME I AND HAVE EVERYTHING BE LIKE IT WAS PLEASE GOD

Guy who can see the dead, but he's being treated for schizophrenia and the meds don't do much but the whole 'make sure someone else can see whoever you're being introduced to' policy is working out. Who's that woman standing over the baby? Oh, she doesn't exist? Probably fine then.

And it is probably fine, because most people die gently these days! Everyone talks about what a good baby he was (because his dead grandparents would put him back to sleep when he stirred). Every so often he waves at someone in the street and is told they died a week ago (awkward, schizophrenia, sorry).

And then he goes to a military graveyard.

can anyone on this website please acknowledge ADHD as a serious and debilitating disorder, or are we going to forever treat it as a mild disorder that just the people who aren't really mentally ill use as an excuse to invalidate the real mental illness havers.

like you guys regularly invalidate ADHD experiences, and then act like mild/moderate at most experiences are actually severe ADHD and therefore people with severe ADHD are totally represented everywhere. just because severe ADHD doesn't have clear-cut definition like level two/three autism doesn't mean you can act like having any actual struggles with ADHD is having severe ADHD.

stop treating autism as inherently more severe than ADHD, and fucking stop using pwADHD as these drama queens that aren't really mentally ill.

forgive any incomprehensibility but the notion that the world can be cleanly split between the two immutable categories of 'the neurotypical' and 'the neurodiverse' ignores the reality that any person can at any point for any reason be arbitrarily 'diagnosed' by a 'professional' and shuttled between categories with no regard for the notions of 'accurate traits' or 'specific symptoms'. nice dichotomy what lies outside of it? you understand me?
