When your psychology of relationships class assigns you to make a meme about boundaries.

maybe psychology and psychiatry should start listening to mentally ill people. just an idea

So happy that it's finally reading week. This semester has felt very demanding so I'm glad for the break. Definitely helps to change study spots every now and then :)

I really REALLY want those fang piercings, but my mom says that I won't get a job in the field that I want if I have it (psychology)

(Genuine answers only, I know it should be more acceptable to have piercings in our society. But it's not. And yeah, I really want to be able to get a job in psychology when I'm older :<)

My favorite part about being an OSDD system and a psychology major is

1. Explaining systems to other psych majors and then telling them I'm a system and they just... Immediate jaw drop in shock and then tense up all scared to ask questions lol

2. Seeing my professors always skim over dissociation, amnesia, and dissociative disorders 🫠

3. Outing myself as a system to my class and professors with pretty much no judgement because everyone just trauma dumps in class!!

4. That one time I had to email my prof with resources and research about dissociative disorders because her presentation was SO OUTDATED and borderline fake claiming. It triggered me so badly 😭 She was very professional with me tho and nice about it and I hope she changed her presentation 👍

Me: Peacefully reading my psychology textbook, enjoying learning new things

The Textbook: Yeah so prolonged stress has actually been proven to lead to a much higher risk for a variety of health issues

Me:

Me: Ah.

day 28/100 | 100 days of productivity✮⋆˙

05/06/2024 // my last final examination for the second semester is tomorrow, and i am quite nervous since there was not a lot of preparation time and any student of abnormal psych knows the hassle of learning the numerous diagnostic criteria without mixing them up.

— what i did today :

studied the diagnostic criteria for sleep wake disorders + somatic symptom and related disorders

read a paper on culture bound syndromes

revised a paper on media portrayals of disorders

read about sexual and gender related disorders

studied about methods in making therapy more multiculturally sensitive

went through the process of conducting a clinical interview

revised notes on phenomenological social psychiatry, culture & mental illness, and religion/spirituality and mental care

no, because really, is a child not making eye contact with you such a crime?? is them not noticing you're there blasphemous? because at that point, it's clear the issue is that they aren't doing what YOU want, expect and are comfortable with/used to

[dovelylittlebird]

You ever just get the urge to conduct a research project examining how a person's current fandom or hyperfixation at any given time may or may not reveal the state of their mental and emotional health

all the things that you’re passionate about are cool because you’re passionate about them. talk about them as much as you’d like. they matter to you. and things that matter to you will also matter to people who care about you :)
