Getting needed prescription medication in the United States is the most ridiculous and frustrating thing I’ve ever experienced in my adult life.

Doctor gives you prescription

Oops! Your insurance won’t cover it because it’s not generic. You can pay hundreds of dollars or..

Search discount pharmacy websites for the medication. Suddenly you’re a medicine sleuth, scrolling through technical names and dosages, trying to find yours but..

Surprise! They only have generic as well. So you call your doctor or their nurse, hoping they can get you another prescription.

They can! So they send it to your pharmacy, where you find out that your insurance will pay for it!

But when you go to pick it up, insurance only pays about $12. You pay for the prescription, now trying to budget this new cost into your life, but…

Oh no! Months later you discover the medication isn’t really working.

Back to square one and repeat, slowly feeling your patience and sanity slip further away.

Things I'd love for the Internet to leave in 2023:

• misusing the word "delusional" or saying "delulu"

• public freakout videos that are just someone displaying psychotic symptoms

• "I'm in your walls" and other paranoia triggering "jokes"

• schizoposting

• misusing the word "psychotic"

• baiting and triggering people online who are openly psychotic or displaying psychotic symptoms

• excluding schizo-spec and psychotic people from any neurodiversity/mental illness awareness

Let's just all try to be better to schizo-spec and psychotic people. And hold others accountable as well.

Non-autistics living with autistics:

They keep eating the same freaking food and it frustrates me so much! We can't have the "big scary light" on just lamps everywhere! Even when I try to find peace by doing stuff with them they just ignore me and do whatever they want. They can't even do the simplest of things like go with me to the grocery store every week! How do people expect them to survive in society??

Autistics living together:

So as long as we get my 10 packets of this really specific food, and some snacks, I'll be okay. Also is it cool if you go to the grocery store? I can clean the bathroom since thats bad sensory for you and the store is bad sensory for me. Can you turn on the lamp instead of the big light? It gives me a headache. Thanks man. Yea I'll unplug the TV for you since you can hear the high pitched noise. Do you want to do two separate things in the same room as bonding again this evening? Thats my favorite part of the day too.

I hate when people say suicide is the easy way out, they have no idea the pain you must be in to want to end your own life

Just a safety reminder to NEVER try shrooms or LSD if your family has any history of schizoaffective disorders.

Have you ever vomited so hard you not only wrecked your throat but dislocated your collarbone?

How about a migraine so bad it triggers your mast cells into a pre-anaphylactic reaction and you start breaking out in hives all over your body?

Yeah. Me neither until 4 o’clock this morning.

New level of hell unlocked.

And the migraine is still ongoing. I’m just no longer blind and dry-heaving.

I hate this.

I literally feel dead in a living body

Honestly, there is a certain type of fetishizing of violence that occurs when you are the victim of abuse - wherein people talk directly to you about how much they fantasize about your abuser/s dying and being killed - "all abusers must be killed!" they say.

As a victim of prolonged abuse, I never felt cared for when people indulged that information to me. It often feels like my abuse is being exploited for others to enact their own violent fantasies and secret desires - my abuse means nothing to them in the same way that I didn't matter to my abusers. It's not support - it's just another cycle of violence.

I'm begging people to care more about victims and survivors than they do about retribution of abusers. Nowhere along the way should your focus on the abuser outweigh the people affected by their abuse. If you truly want to support abuse victims and survivors, start with us
