"That's so psychotic" "Lol I'm so delusional about him" "Look at the crazy freak" "She's literally insane"

SHUT UP!! SHUT UP SHUT UP!! And fuck you.

If you say you're delusional about someone and then get upset when I say "yeah same" and you freak out because I actually have delusions? Fuck you.

If you call people insane and then think schizophrenics are just mediums and blessed by visions? Fuck you.

If you call people "psychos" or "psychotic" when they're just doing something you disagree with? Double fuck you from both the psychotic and ASPD community.

And if you say "look at that crazy freak"? Fuck you. I hope that one day you get treated like one of those "crazy freaks". I hope you understand what it feels like, and I hope you fucking change.

wanna see some fucking bullshit?

[holyholyholey]

I really wish that in trans discourse people would stop going "we're not delusional"

Squirrel, some of us are and if it's also the reason behind our gender identity, that's okay.

Aside from the fact it's weird to see nonpsys go and act like they're so put upon for being compared to delusional people. It's weird to see them go and behave as though delusions make us validly seen as unreliable narrators for our own experiences with gender and other stuff.

I swear talking to sane trans people about psychosis is the same as convincing my insurance to let me get my testosterone. Like informed consent apparently means nothing when you have a psychotic disorder to even a lot of what are supposed to be fellow trans people.

Anyways, shoutout to all the cool trans people out there with psychosis. We're pretty neat.

i wish more people were open to the idea of "delusional people have autonomy and don't need you, random stranger on the internet, to decide what's best for them without understanding them or their situation".

i tell people to actively recognize us as physically a wolf not because i'm a Mentally Ill Delusional Freak that doesn't know what's best for it, but because recognizing us as physically a wolf

(A) helps us feel safe, stable, and secure in our own body (because our body is being recognized as how it feels, so there's no disconnect between "what other people see" versus "what we know we are")

(B) helps us feel safe, stable, and secure in our relationships with the people around us (because we're being recognized as what we are, so we feel safe to be open about ourselves and our experiences instead of shutting everyone out and letting our paranoia spiral)

and (C) helps us feel safe, stable, and secure in our place in the world (because we're able to settle into our wolfish body, and because the people around us trust us to know what and who we are, so we don't feel so alienated from everything (which, bonus! helps reduce some of our chronic dissociation--not get rid of it entirely, of course not, but it helps give our body some "weight" in reality that it doesn't usually have, helping us feel slightly more grounded)

reality checks hurt us. having our inhumanity ignored hurts us. being recognized as ourself helps. there is, quite genuinely, no reason to tell us that we aren't a wolf, or that you don't believe we're a wolf, yadda yadda. there is no reason to tell us that we're human unless you are actively trying to hurt us.

let us have our fucking autonomy.

[Obligatory note that not every delusional person is the same. Ask the delusional folks in your life what they would prefer you do (aka the whole point of this post); not every delusional is harmful or distressing, sure, but by far not every delusion is helpful or even neutral, even between people with quote "the same" delusion (eg., clinical lycanthropy/zoanthropy; Cotard's; etc). And, most of all, if the delusional people in your life ask you to do something to help, do not assume that they don't "actually" know what's best for them and do something else just because you don't think what they want is healthy. It's not for you to decide.]

It's raining outside as they're moving things so they're tracking mud everywhere...

"Uhg, I hate people with hyperfixations-" ??? "Wait no, not like you, I mean people with the WEIRD ones..."

😭 pls

Am screaming inside

Obsessive-compulsive HAVE TO CLEAN HAVE TO CLEAN plus shitty conversation?

damn

[s0fti3w1tch]

Seeing ppl I follow start using "psychos" and "psychopaths" as demeaning vile insults towards genuinely awful evil people while I'm on the verge of a psychotic breakdown is not fucking fun!!! Seriously, fucking don't!!!

[centi-pedve]

peak cluster a advocate, tries to group an inherently abnormal group of people into the normalcy boxes because you want to associate abnormality with moral failure and wrongness, also says "your beliefs are your realities" to a group of people who experience high rates of magical thinking, such as thinking thoughts can affect external reality (uh oh!), and also literally tells a group of people that their inherently irrational responses are actually rational and people ARE out to get them even though ppd doesn't come from legitimate and justified fear, it is inherently irrational

the way the new therapist i saw today just told me that therapy won't be of any use to me because i am already aware of my problems and now just have to show some discipline and stop being annoying? didn't need that. at all. thanks tho. am just gonna try and be more normal now i guess. maybe that'll make me stop having two fucking personality disorders. just gotta try harder and show some discipline.

[pinkxcloudz]

the stupidity of these people is astounding

[holyholyholey]

In a horrifying update to saneism its now a white supremacist dogwhistle for a person to have a breakdown publicly while saying someone is not real. I feel real safe veing schizophrenic rn

[thecouncilofidiots]

There are so many things we need and WANT to do, but we never end up doing anything

I know it's the mental illness and neurodivergencies, not something that's our FAULT, but it still sucks

It's not like we enjoy being idle or "lazy"

But doing things just... doesn't happen

The worst part is being "called out" for it

Like, yeah, I know I haven't done anything today

I'm just as, if not more, upset about it than you are

Combined with the disabilities?

Sometimes we genuinely don't know/understand our limitations, because we're... *urged* to do everything anyways

And when we suffer for it later, we're considered lazy

"You need to get your life together,either get a job or learn how to drive, you have more free time now that you're a part-time student."

Except

The reason we're a part-time student now is because we couldn't handle a full-time schedule anymore, and doing these extra things in our "free" time just adds the same stress that caused us to fail all our classes last semester

I'm not using this time to have fun, I'm using it to remain mentally stable and not over-exert our body

Please don't make me feel guilty for doing what we have to to stay alive

[expressionless-fr]

a few days ago we went out in public with some people to build rapport with them, still in baby stages of friendship but working on it, and they complimented our sweater so yay. And then we're at the grocery store and these two dudes come up to us and they're like yooo that sweater is from that schizophrenic guy who killed himself right?!?!?! And everyone we're with goes into horrific shock while we just have to stand there cutely and go yes that's the one

[wifegideonnav]

answer under the cut, please don't spoil it for others tho!

"rebuilding" is fake! the others are all, incredibly, real. and most of them are crazier than i was able to fit in the poll answer box. :/

[Honestly I'm not too happy about this ending especially for suitcase]

[They give us a mentally ill character that I relate to -> they ruin it for plot -> the cycle repeats]

[Paintbrush's anger issues then Blueberry's depression then Suitcase's psychosis]

[Like damn...]

[What I mean by that is that it looks like they're going to write off her mental illness. They gave her psychosis and then "oops! Turns out the hallucinating one was actually the only one seeing the reality all along!" Which is, suffice it to say, not the greatest way they could do this.]

[It feels awful. They did it to Blueberry too. They made it so he was faking it to get back in the game, and they fixed PB's anger issues — somewhat — in season 3. I might even venture to say it feels a little bit ableist.]

[I just want one character whose mental issues dont get resolved or written away is that too much to ask]
