[[ DM ME FOR AN IMAGE ID ]]

original | simplified

protector: a system member who protects the body, the host, the main, other system members, and/or specific groups of members, either by taking the abuse themselves, acting offensively to abusers, or finding a way to get people out of bad situations

couldn’t find a protector flag, so here it is!! definition from here!

dream anxiety disorder (or nightmare disorder): a disorder in which one experiences frequent nightmares that interfere with their sleep, mood, and/or functioning in areas such as work, school, or relationships. these nightmares imply danger to the sufferer’s life or wellbeing, and when they awake, they typically have a clear memory of the dream and behave in an alert way due to its impact.

dream anxiety disorder flag for myself! this flag includes both those who have dream anxiety as its own disorder and those who experience dream anxiety as part of another disorder, such as ptsd. i normally don’t include a definition in my mad pride flags, since i typically make flags for more well-known conditions, but dream anxiety disorder isn’t fairly well-known and is also often confused with night terrors, so i wanted to include a description! there are other symptoms/characteristics of this disorder, i just included the diagnostic criteria.

this flag uses the same format of my other anxiety flag simplifications, with the top three stripes being purple to represent dreams and sleep!

stripes | blocks

two versions of an alternate bpd flag for anon! they’re based on their color suggestions, since i personally don’t have bpd and didn’t want to take too much artistic liberty. the pairing of black and white represents extremity of emotions, blue represents low/negative emotions, and yellow represents the opposite.

flag id: the left flag has 3 stripes, with the second being smaller than the others. the first stripe is black and the third is white. the second stripe is divided vertically in half, with the left side being yellow and the right being blue. the flag on the right has 3 vertical stripes, with the second being larger than the others. the first stripe is yellow and the third is blue. the second stripe is divided horizontally in half, with the top half being black and the bottom half being white. end id.

Hi. I’ve talked about my financial struggles a few times before. the short form of it is that I have multiple conditions that have kept me from working for over a year and now genuinely can’t pay my rent or most of my bills, and I’ve been rejected for disability 4 times so far! Rent is $550 each month (counting the fee for my cat). I keep a goal marker for how close I am on my ko-fi. 

Ways to support me: 

My Ko-Fi; You can just donate, get different items from the shop, or get graphic commissions for custom stuff.

My Patreon; You get updates on what I’m doing, pictures of my cat, and thank you notes shipped to you.

And here’s my Linktree where I put several referral links you can sign up to (Current, Instacart, Swagbucks, etc) 

May is the month of Mental Health Awareness, and I wanted to talk about the Schizoaffective Visibility Flag I created!!

In simple terms, Schizophrenia is actually a spectrum of disorders and symptoms. "Positive Symptoms" include psychosis, hallucinations, delusions, and paranoia. "Negative Symptoms" include things like difficulty speaking or thinking clearly.

Schizophrenia is a thought disorder.

Schizoaffective Disorder is a mixture of bipolar depression (a mood disorder) and schizophrenic symptoms. It's the combo-deal.

On my Schizoaffecitve Visibility Flag, the violet represents depression. The yellow represents mania. The magenta represents psychosis and anxiety. The various shades of gray represent negative symptoms.

The spiral shape represents the changing nature of how these symptoms can affect us and show to others, and also to separate the neurodivergent visibility flag from pride flags associated with the LGBT+ community.

I wanted to make a “visibility” flag instead of a “pride” flag because... I don't know if pride fits for Schizo-spectrum. Not to say we should be ashamed of this aspect of ourselves, but it's very much a hardship.

I don't want to celebrate my schizo-spectrum disorder, I want to celebrate myself-- and the strength it takes to live with this. At the same time, though, it is part of who I am, undoubtedly and unchangeable.... so I don't know.

I don't know if I'm “proud,” really, but I don't want to hide this either.

i have ocd, some other neurodivergent stuff have flags, so i made one!

teal - ocd awareness ribbon white - clarity yellow - guidance sandy brown - grounding oneself back into reality as a means of coping

Paranoia Flag

Black bands: The inherent barrier between us and neurotypicals.

Yellow band: Our inability to be ‘stable’ in the eyes of neurotypicals, especially without medication.

Red band: The danger and overwhelming dread we survive through.

Orange: The courage we have to act in life despite our paranoia. 

Feel free to use this for icons and edits as long as you’re paranoid. Not paranoid folx can reblog. Do not delete my caption.

Autistic Pride Flag Masterlist - Part 1

Hey everyone! I noticed that there are a lot of proposed designs for an autistic pride flag, so I thought it might be a good idea to collate them all in order to both spread awareness and provide autistic people with the resources to make their own pride icons and headers from them!

Each post will include a header-sized flag, two icons and an icon tempate.

Our first design is from @hs-spritely! It’s one of my personal favourites because of its unique colour scheme that’s both gorgeous to look at and easy on the eyes (which is pretty important when you consider the fact that so many of us have sensory issues). They also ascribed a specific meaning to each of the colours which I feel is a lovely touch as it serves as a tribute to some of the more “classic” pride flags while also showing that it has a place among them.

Black - Strength as a community 

Teal - People who are non-verbal or feel distant from society because of their autism

Yellow - People who are hyper verbal or hyperenergetic because of their autism

White - Peace and understanding, from both within and outside the community 

Red - The RedInstead movement and autistic self advocacy

 @kittysprites also made a bunch of LGBT autistic flags based on this design, they’re really neat and you can check them out here!

The list so far:

After seeing @labnedthealchemist‘s design for a schizo spec flag, I wanted to try my hand at designing some as well, heavily inspired by theirs. These are merely sketches, so I excuse their wobblyness.

The sign used in these flags is the schizo- and psychosis spec sign coined by @actuallyschizophrenic here. 

a combined autism/adhd flag for myself! i wanted it because i have both, but i don’t mind people who only have autism or only have adhd using it to show solidarity with the other.

flag id: a flag with 7 stripes. in order, they are very dark blue-grey, turquoise, pale greenish-yellow, white,  light yellow-orange, red, and very dark red. end id.
