Acute Psychosis in Pune Dr. Ankit Patel.

decriminalizing drugs and being opposed to forced rehab is important as a leftist but what a lot of leftists i meet seem to be unable to grasp is that you need to also be ok with people doing drugs for the rest of their lives. of course healing the environment that causes people to become addicts and making mental health services available and making drug use safer via needle exchanges is important, but you also need to know that even if all addicts are given all of those resources some of them will still continue to use drugs and you need to be ok with that. you need to view that as neutral. you cannot proclaim yourself a leftist while trying to dictate what people do with their own bodies even if you think you have good intentions or that its in the best interest of an addict. you need to accept this if you have truly destigmatized drug use in your mind like a lot of yall claim you have but dont actually reflect that in your words and actions when you call for forced rehab. help should always be available and encouraged, but the option to still use drugs despite that should be too. zero criticism will be considered on this post cause i know yall that disagree with this and merely cosplay as leftists online have never actually had an addiction or known someone with an addiction. have a nice day.

Friendly reminder that antipsychotics don't cure schizophrenia. They don't even treat schizophrenia fully. They only treat the psychotic symptoms aka the positive symptoms. (And lots of people on antipsychotics don't have all their psychotic symptoms disappear, sometimes it only helps a little bit). Meanwhile our negative and cognitive symptoms cannot be treated fully (or at all depending on the person) with medication, and they greatly affect our lives and tend to get more severe as we age. So please don't assume that a schizophrenic person on antipsychotics is basically not mentally ill anymore cause there's a shit ton more we have to deal with on a daily basis, even if our psychosis is treated and no longer affecting us.

Anyone who talks about how “edgy” they are needs to go take a bath in acid.

It makes it so hard for people to talk about their actual homicidal ideation or low empathy or low guilt or delusions or other stigmatised symptoms of mental illness.

I shouldn't have to clarify that my delusions are actual harmful, prolonged periods of distorted reality or that when I say I want to kill someone I mean that I have dark fantasies where I kill them in graphic detail.

I don't feel empathy. I don't feel guilt. Most of the time, I don't feel anything for other people. It's not quirky. It's not a joke. It's not something you can say you experience only to turn around and criticise the moment I go more in depth.

Stop trying to be cool by imitating mental illnesses. It's pathetic.

this may sound a little strange but when it comes to the utmv fandom and in universe meta aware characters interacting with ones who aren’t aware, I like to approach it more from like a religious or spiritual belief standpoint. so like, to others, characters like killer and ink seem either really religious or spiritual (ink) or really superstitious/religious/indoctrinated (killer). ink believes in creators, but to killer, those creators are actually more like players.

if i see one more ‘delulu’ im going to hurt someone

[psychotic-tbh]

Do any other social folks on the schizophrenia spectrum also feel like they don’t know how to “people” after an episode?

It’s so strange to look back on how social I was when my symptoms were less severe and how (almost) outgoing I was

Now I’m not even sure how to talk to close friends and am just awkward. I lost my conversation skills :(

Sexual relationships with your gods are valid

I saw a post not too long ago speaking on intimate relationships with your gods and also the idea of “god spouses.” And while it’s fine to have your own opinion and express that I felt like it dismissed the relationship one may have with a sexual deity or even one that’s not primarily thought of to be sexual!

There are so many gods that help others feel comfortable enough to live freely in their bodies, masturbate, be with their loved ones and more. Why dismiss or undermine that because you believe you can’t have a more intimate relationship with a deity?

Gods are what they need to be for you. A friend, lover, partner, sibling, parent, best friend, teacher, mentor, what have you. The gods can absolutely touch you. Is it rarer than one may think? I personally don’t think so. And yes this does get into some harder conversations about psychosis and being wary of those symptoms. But I believe people know what they feel.

And who really cares if your god didn’t actually make you come. You felt connected to them in that moment, you did that for them, in one way or another. That’s valid. Don’t let others tell you differently or dismiss your experiences.

Ppl who have issues with hygiene ily. Ppl who cant brush theyre teeth regularly. Ppl who dont shower for months. Ppl who wear the same clothes for days.

If all u can do is brush or shower once every few weeks or months ily. If all you can do is change into a different pair of pajama pants today ily. Or if you cant do any of it ily.

Ik ppl will be like “its not healthy to spread positivity now my teeth are rotting bc I didnt care” which I understand to some extent for some ppl but no amount of scaring me about how my teeth health will suffer is going to make me do it more, my brain quite literally can’t foresee the positive outcomes and will refuse to make it a daily habit no matter how much its barked at me over and over.

Sometimes its not something that can be helped. And its not bc I dont care or i like being disgusting or dont understand the risks I literally just cant.

Psychotic System Culture is...

Not reacting to a noise around others because you assume it's an auditory hallucination and don't want to seem weird, only for it to be an actual external sound and being weird for not reacting to it

[nazskoll]

did a quick Henry portrait as an excuse to slap all my cringe headcanons on it

[thedreadvampy]

sometimes I forget that my experience has been. um. not 'your experiences are not universal' vibes but more like 'your experiences are EXTREMELY atypical'

[crippleculture]

idk if its brain fog or a symptom of my mental disorders or what but does anyone else have moments where its like, you're trying to tell someone something and you completely space on a simple word or you KNOW the word but its hard to get your mouth to say it? like if mom asks where the cream cheese is and i want to say "its in the cheese drawer" sometimes it comes out like "its in the... um, the.... the uh...... the pull-outy.... the place where the cheese is.....where you pull out the cheese" and it can go on for like... a good while, and sometimes she just figures it out and i dont figure out for myself. i know everyone forgets words sometimes but this happens every day, multiple times a day, and i sometimes get a minor headache from trying to figure it out

is there like... a name for this, does anyone else experience this, it feels like my brain is jelly and i have to dig through the jelly to find the right words and sometimes i can see the words but i have to dig to them to be able to say them. its like i have to actually put effort in to talk.

Spiritual Psychosis

this is regarding the normalisation of psychosis surrounding spirituality in social media.

as someone with Paranoid Schizophrenia, i’ve been wanting to say my piece on this for a while, but finding the right words and the motivation has prevented me from doing so. however, recent conversations about this with Tarm have given me the inspiration i needed to do this.

on certain social media platforms, there has been an influx of people over the past few years, believing things such as seeing ‘shadow people’ is just your ‘third eye being opened’, believing you can have relationships with deities or that they can speak to you, etc.

these things aren’t true.

my heritage is rooted in paganism, which i have embraced as i’ve grown up, and i am telling you these are not actual spiritual acts. if you are seeing things that aren’t there or if you believe there are gods in your head talking to you, i strongly advise you to seek the support of a doctor that is willing to help with psychotic symptoms.

it’s not normal or spiritual or anything to do with witchcraft to be having hallucinations and delusions such as these. there is definitely a community of people on social media who are at fault for normalising these things, and for telling impressionable, vulnerable people online that it’s a good thing spiritually for them to have these experiences. it not a spiritual gift. it is a strong sign of psychosis, and if this persists you likely have a psychotic disorder that must be treated.

if you engage in spirituality and you see someone say they experience things like these, do not tell them it’s a positive thing, point them in the direction of a mental health professional that can help.

Send me asks about my Kakashi character study!

I plan on writing a detailed synopsis of what kind of stuff to expect (not plot details/spoilers) soon but at the moment I don't really have the energy.

The basic idea is that pretty much every ANBU and a lot of Jonin struggle with psychosis due to their long, grueling missions that wear them down physically and emotionally. This follows Kakashi specifically, as he learns slowly to deal with this and let people in and heal trauma. He gets closer with the people who already cared about him, like Gai, Tenzo when he meet him, Kurenai, and Asuma, and gets closer with different people that he meets like Genma, Raidou, and Iruka. (I think it will be kakairu but I haven't decided how centric it will be)

Be warned, there is in depth descriptions of psychosis in many of the chapters. As someone who experiences hallucinations, delusions, and paranoia myself I hope that I can portray the episodes accurately.

What I most want to do is explore how Kakashi learns to interact with others, care for others, and let others care for him, all while learning to deal with these horrible episodes in a time and place where it was seen as a taboo topic, where you shouldn't even approach someone struggling like this, let alone try to help them.

If you're interested in some of this, I'd reccomend reading the oneshot I wrote that gave me the idea, Episodes. I go more in depth about how it's treated by the people around him.

Anyway, I'd love to hear what you're curious about! I'm really passionate about telling this story and I want to talk about it as well as write it.
