I know it's not necessarily auschizm(I hope I spelled that right) related, but you mentioned antidepressants and I just wanted to get on my soap box for a second about people's perception of mental health treatments.
Antidepressants are, statistically speaking, only 30-40% likely at actually treating/"fixing" the problem. Yet everyone acts like once you're on them, you're going to be magically cured and just Neurotypical and Okay and Healthy.
I don't know the statistics on other mental health medications BUT
For two years, I was on electric shock therapy because of just how bad my PTSD enduced depression was. It quite literally the only reason I am alive today. ECT has a statistical ~80% chance of "fixing" depression (and is used to treat psychosis, but I am unsure about the statistics on that.)
Any and every time I mention to people that I was on ECT they responded in abject HORROR that I received such treatment. Claiming it was torture and not a real, legitimate form of treatment. They were convinced it was only something that happened in the 1950s, and all advancements to it STOPPED in the 1950s.
No matter how many times I explained how the procedure was done, that i was in fact not conscious during it(thank you anesthesia), and given muscle relaxers to not actually under go a physical sezuire(though, disclaimer, you can still have one, and had one twice), they acted like I was subjecting myself to actual medieval torture and could not, for some reason no matter how I described how Bad I Was, wrap their head around how and why I came to the conclusion that ECT was something I needed.
All of this to say: people are just so entirely ignorant, and imo willingly so, to the actual realities of treating mental illnesses, especially outside of mild/situation depression and mild anxieties. And they are nor willing to actually educate themselves on things like therapies and coping skills and the different types of medications and the side effects of medications and what medication can and cannot do and what happens when medication just... Do Not Work For You.
I'm pretty sure the stats for antidepressants are far worse than that, actually. As far as I can recall, in most scientific studies of the effects of antidepressants, there hasn't actually been documented a difference between being on antidepressants and taking a placebo pill. And I'm critical of ECT too for various reasons, though I fully respect your decision to try it, and I'm really happy if it helped you

can't remember if i've messaged you before, but i'll just do it anyway. i have schizoaffective disorder (i am in my 20's) and even though i hate that you struggle, it's also "nice" to know that there's someone like me out there. i really wish you the best and i hope we'll both get better. and i totally agree with you on the whole ECT thing omg
fr fr I love fellow schizoaffectives/schizophrenics being honest and open about their symptoms and lives! it's comforting to know we aren't alone in this :)
I'm doing a lot better than I was last year and the lower clozaril dose has let me be more expressive and talkative again!
I believe in you so much anon <3 if you ever wanna talk my ask box and messages are open
yeah the whole concept as a trauma survivior of waking up in pain strapped to a bed would really fuck me up, it fucked my mom up really hard, doctors act like it's come so far and I'm like nah it's still incredibly traumatic and violating! especially for patients who want to make their psychiatrist happy, that's not actual consent

bro i never understood the want or impulse to woobify real serial killers or terrorists. "can a guy have a hobby" whatever happened to people having cool hobbies like crocheting or birdwatching and not making "adam lanza dogboy" stimboards or something
#(this is not really an exaggeration. though ive seen this with dylan klebold)#(yes that dylan klebold)#there were times where i thought a fictional killer they were woobifiying was real because there were no difference w/ they treated the two#ive noticed they also give more recent serial killers the “babygirl” treatment#(some they do that for committed their crimes not even a decade ago)#would it make be better they woobified jack the ripper ? not really ? but i cant say anyone is personally affected by him anymore#the families + friends of the victims can very likely see the shit ppl are talking about and they dont deserve anymore burden#im sure they'd be real chill seeing the person that killed their mother/brother/daughter/cousin/ect with hello kitty filters /sarc#[just me yapping]#f/o blog#ok to rb#school shooting tw#murder tw

Can you share why you are critical of ECT?
Mainly because of the risk of permanent brain damage involved, and the way that this risk is often downplayed. I do however support everyone's right to pursue ECT, and I acknowledge that it can be helpful

Warning ⚠️ This game contains Mature Content, ketchup, fake death & yandere
I had this thought about the game called "Your Boyfriend"
It would be a bit similar to the original game but ……
The Player {a.k.a Y/N} is an age regressor & Peter wants to be their Cg.
…And he would do anything for this

Six months ago to the day I wanted to die, lying in a hospital bed getting my first ECT treatment, and tonight I sat under the stars on a hot summer evening with two of my closest friends, watching a beautiful performance of Les Mis while the stars came out.
It hasn't been easy and I'm not there yet, not where I want to be, but it's better and I'm so happy and grateful to be surviving

OK, so here's the thing. I just watched the Fortnight video and listened to Who's Afraid of Little Old Me for the first time... I'm having thoughts.
First of all, while I DON'T like Taylor (as will become evident in this post) I can appreciate WAOLOM, because it do be a bop, and the lyrics in Fortnight are (while cringy) also pretty good. Just cause I don't like her doesn't mean she sucks at what she does, just like how some of her songs are good doesn't mean all are or that it's all because of her with no help in penning them.
Next. Fortnight. So first of all, it's incredibly fucked up to be talking about alcoholism from someone who hasn't struggled (and if she has, I retract that statement... but since she hasn't spoken about it, I think it's another one of her metaphors), and the psychward-chic?? What the actual FUCK??? Look, as someone who has been in psych wards multiple times... you cannot be making that shit glamorous. You don't get to show med times, you don't get to show ECT, without some kind of disclaimer, knowledge, understanding or experience. It's not all ballgowns and doctor saving you. It's horrible.
So she's glamourising mental illness. Fucking, fine. Everyone on TikTok seems to be, so fine. But going further with ECT?? For those who don't know, ECT stands for electroconvulsive therapy, and if you're thinking that sounds like electroshock therapy... it is. It's the same thing, rebranded and "tamed". And it's NOT A THING OF THE PAST. I know someone who got ECT done. And while it seems to have helped her, it's fucking horrendous. I'm not going into the side effects or the process, but it's a last resort. Even medically, it's a last resort, it's horrendous. I mean for fuck's sake, I know where people get it done, and I've been there (not to have it done, but for talk therapy). It's not fucking nice! It's not chic, it's not fun times, you don't get black and white film and lipstick. I can't even try to understand why you'd glamourise something so fucked up just for public attention. There's a difference between making things creepy, pushing boundaries in artistic senses, and making some of the worst times of people's lives into a break up song. What the actual fuck is wrong with her?? Also, to reiterate, I wouldn't call it ableism, as much as just fucking horrendous.
Then there's WAOLOM (I can't be bothered to keep typing it lol). Ngl, it's a banger, it's a vibe, and it's kinda relatable through both the trauma and female rage lense that I think she's going for. So, well done with that I guess. But the thing I have a problem with in this... Look man, if that's genuinely how she feels? I hope she gets help. Being caged is awful, and being twisted into a monster, also not fun. I know there was the whole snake fiasco that definitely would've been traumatic, and I hope she's OK and can heal from that. But in the song... it's so fucking self absorbed. Like no. Not everything is about you, as much as you try to make it that way (and unfortunately swifties are making that so). Ngl, the asylum where they raised me part, I mean her dad doesn't sound fun to grow up with if you think about it, but there's more psych ward imagery which pisses me off from someone who hasn't suffered that much!! Like sure, what she's been through is shit, I relate to some of it and so understand, but you can't go around like your pain is the worst in the world. It fucking isn't. At least you can afford the therapy for it Taylor, some of us can't. And the "I'll sue you" part? She literally has sued people for small shit!!
TL;DR: Fortnight video is FUCKING WRONG AND FUCKED UP and I wanna punch her for it and ECT is not a thing of the past, and Who's Afraid Of Little Old Me is a banger, but she's incredibly self-centred and if she actually feels what she wrote in that song I hope she gets the help she needs (/gen)
#delete later#scarlet screeches#taylor swift#anti taylor swift#who's afraid of little old me?#fortnight#tw psych ward#tw ect#the tortured poets department#also what a fucking wanky title for an album from a girl who hasn't been through shit#she's not a poet like c'mon#anywayyy

the duality of misao being one of the few psychiatrists in arkham that has actually made progress with some of their patients and treats them like human beings, but also someone who does a complete 180° later + EATS her patients and gaslights people who ask about them into thinking they were never committed there is currently making me go feral. like girlll why are you like this JSJSJ
#ALL POWER DEMANDS POWER AND SACRIFICE: musings.#NO SLEEP OF THE INNOCENT. NOT FOR YOU: character study.#and whenever i say it's making me go feral i mean it both puzzling as well as intriguing to me that misao seems to not be on ANYONE'S-#side even when it may seem like she might just care about her patients bc she not only gaslights any of the staff and patients who ask abou#them into thinking that the person was never there BUT also destroys records of them ever having been there which would take quite a bit#of effort on her part to do and that is just. wow but like i said here misao is probably one of the only doctor's throughout the years who-#have treated their patients with empathy (even if most of it is faked on her part JSJSJ) and even does thing's like keep a cupboard-#full of snacks in her office for them so that they could have something better to eat than the cafeteria food...#and that is why i believe that it honestly wouldn't be too far-fetched for misao to end up having a redemption arc because-#she honestly doesn't like a LOT of the staff there because they still advocate for the use of barbaric practices like ECT on fully-#conscious people and as a regular treatment when it should be done under anesthesia / while the patient is asleep and be a 'last resort'#kind of thing you know? plus she has heard them talk about her behind her back before bc they think misao's 'weird' sooo yeah.#she isn't COMPLETELY evil but she still does thing's like eat people which is heinous in and of itself but even more so when there's-#a power imbalance between you + the other person because some people in there i could imagine would probably grow to trust her-#as an authority figure buttt misao would fully intend to take advantage of that so she could eat. and that is uhhh TERRIBLE to say the leas#tw: mentions of cannibalism.#tw: mentions of medical malpractice.#tw: manipulation.#tw: mentions of a power imbalance.

StrayDogKins presents: Valentine's event!
Although it isn't Valentines anymore, we still want to hold an event with the themes of the holiday in mind! This event will be active until the 1st of March.


How it works:
You enter the event by sending in the emoji that corresponds to the edit you want and the source name of yourself and (if applicable) your partner(s).
For example: "Could I get an Valentines edit with🌹? I kin Chuuya Nakahara (BSD) and I was dating Dazai Osamu and Ranpo Edogawa."
If you send in a kin with no partner(s) the edit will be based around a random Valentines Day theme, if there are other character specified it will be based around a randomized date idea.


The emoji's:
��- Aesthetic
💕- Icons
🌹- Wallpapers
💘- Stimboard


Event rules under the cut
Although I understand that relationships can vary from canon to canon and in systems we would deeply appreciate if no canonically 'problematic' content (incest, pedophilia, you get the idea) is submitted. Again, we understand that things can change, but we would rather not edit for this content for safety and sanity reasons.
Note that (unless specified otherwise) the couples submitted for this event will be seen as romantic. HOWEVER if you for any reason do not feel comfortable with this or want to put a different label on your relationship (ie qpp) then please specify!
There will be no NSFW or NSFW themes allowed
PLEASE ONLY REQUEST FROM LISTED SOURCES! We are dealing with fatigue rn and are struggling with edits that aren't from our interests.
#🫧 | event#valentines event#valentines day#kin edit#kin blog#valentines day tw#valentines#feel free to rb ect if you want to

Because of a depressive episode I've had for the past <6 months, I didn't write my bachelor project because I simply couldn't. Every day was just me staying alive. I've barely done anything but stay alive, trying to feed myself while having no energy or desire to do so. Less than a month ago, however, my brother contacted me and helped me write my supervisor, and now I've written the contract and am working on it in the 5th block (I have my semesters divided in half called blocks). The deadline is 11th of August. And it's going really well so far. My supervisor is the sweetest person and has helped me a lot with all the bureaucracy stuff and such! Only now do I realise how bad I've been feeling for these past months, and how I don't need to feel that way. Everything will work out.
#these posts always make me realise smth more about myself#this is why it's important to put feelings into text so i can come to new realisations about myself#btw im writing about communication of biodiversity in popular science#even tho im on a biology bachelor bc a) bachelor is only 15 ects b) i feel its important for scientists to learn how to communicate#their findings to the general public and this will make me better at communicating when i become a scientist#scientists within humaniora are waaay better at communicating to the public than natural scientists and I think thats a shamr#bc it leads to a lot of misunderstandings and simplifications of the issues we face#so i am analysing how popular science communictates compared to the SCIENTIFIC definition of biodiversity#also to understand how the communication of scientists lack#so i can become a scientist who communicates her findings instead of a journalist misunderstanding and framing it a particular way#nonsims#tw depression
