a comic about tattoos
psychiatric facilities are used to separate the crazy from the normal. there has been a big issue with abuse towards the mentally ill forever. the issue is that the system is built by politicians and rich people who view us as vermin.
in my english class we read One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest and my fellow students kept bringing up that there hasn’t been much change but didn’t ask why. why hasn’t their been change? because the view of the mad hasn’t changed at all.
we shouldn’t be forced to facilities, medication, or therapy unless we want it. and even then why can’t we leave facilities whenever we want? if one voluntarily admits themself why can’t they voluntarily leave at any point? it’s sick. why do we have to conform to the societal norms set up by people with rich wine and paychecks loaded with money more than i’ll ever make in my life?
i feel that if someone wants to go to a facility, take medication, or go to therapy they should have that choice. but they shouldn’t be afraid to do that with the worry of an abuser lying behind the doors that are allegedly supposed to “help” us. and if someone doesn’t want help then they shouldn’t be forced to.
i don’t want help but if one day i changed my mind i have nothing to turn to, every place is just built with the intent to put me down and make me feel worthless.
Anyway can we meditate on this, fellas?
Every time I point out that disabled people are chill and that presuming we are violent monster maniacs is a bit ridiculous, at least one fuckwit has to be like, "oh yeah? What about [condition]?"
"Oh yeah? Well my sister works at a special school and she gets bitten by autistic kids all the time!" Okay. I was an autistic kid who went to special school. Didn't bite anybody, didn't see anybody bitten. I also worked in SPED for a while as an adult. Never saw an incident. Hm.
Oh look, studies show that violence is common in pretty much all schools because exploring and experimenting with violence is actually really common for kids aged three to nine. But oh, we notice it more when the retards do it. Why is that. Could it be ableism. We discuss it as an especially common and problemaitc thing when the retards do it. Why is that. Could it be ableism.
"Oh yeah? Well I'm a psychiatric nurse and my schizophrenic patient punched me!" I am a diagnosed schizophrenic. The whole reason I'm not working any more is that I lost years of my life in psychosis. Now, follow me here, I never assaulted anybody, but I have been assaulted a number of times since I became ill, always with the excuse of "well he could've become violent." Hm.
Every single major study on violence and schizophrenia finds schizophrenics are not more violent than the general population but experience violence at massively, massively disproportionate rates. In fact, they usually find the majority of violence in these contexts is perpetrated by support workers, family members, and police. Hm.
It just doesn't work mate. I'm sorry. You not only look ignorant, you just become useful fodder to prove my point that ableism is a real social force, because you've seen some disabled dude on social media talking about being disabled and thought to yourself, "aha, this is a fine time to be ableist." Come on.

So three years and one week ago (I checked), I asked my doctor to refer me for ADHD assessment. He was fine with it, and did so.
About a week later, I got a questionnaire, on paper, through the post. As though I were living in 19ThePast. It had a letter asking me to fill it out and post it back. It took me three weeks to buy an envelope. It took another to actually fill it out. When I did, I inserted the questionnaire, carefully wrote out the address on the envelope, stamped it, sealed it, and looked down to see the questionnaire still on the sofa. I had tried to post them back their own letter requesting I fill out the questionnaire. I, for one, consider this part of the diagnostic criteria.
Anyway, I finally sent it a week later, so it took five weeks in all. That was, as I say, three years ago.
Today, I had to go to the doctor for unrelated reasons, and I was like, "By the way. Do we know what's happening with the ADHD assessment? I know it's a long waiting list, but it's been three years and I literally never heard anything back. Thoughts?"
And today's doctor (a different one) pulled up my history to have a little look, and discovered that a week after I'd initially gone in - during the time I was supposed to fill out the questionnaire but was still vaguely trying to remember to buy an envelope - the referral people had responded to my GP and said "She hasn't done a questionnaire so we can't assess her." At which point, my GP was supposed to call and share this with me so we could discuss
He did not.
And then, of course, they did get my questionnaire, and he should have forwarded THAT to the assessment people at that point to advance the process.
He did not.
Which means I have just wasted three years and a week waiting for an assessment that was never coming. The whole thing came to an end. That was that. At no point did that first doctor ever reconsider any part of my case. He was told they couldn't proceed, and didn't even think to tell me; he just thought "Well, sucks to be her" and then moved the fuck on with his life, I presume.
FORTUNATELY today's doctor was fantastic - she immediately printed out the questionnaire, gave it to me with a pen, and told me to fill it out and immediately give it in to reception before I left. So huzzah for her, and we are back on for ADHDiagnosis, but Jesus Pissing Christ
They expected someone who's getting evaluated for ADHD to return a mail questionnaire within a WEEK?!
When my kiddo was a preschooler and being evaluated for various things, the behavioral health clinic gave me like ten pages of printed questionnaire.
They were poorly copied, to the point that some pages were diagonal and text was running off the page. Some of the print was blurry. And the questions were like... Open ended... With like three narrow lines of space to write a response. Just looking at it made me want to throw up.
I finally had a meeting with a nonprofit caseworker in which I showed them the questionnaire and my feeble attempt to fill in the first page and I just burst into tears. I was like... This thing is horrible and I can't make my handwriting fit on the lines and every time I sit down to work on it, my kiddo climbs all over me and I don't understand how behavioral health thinks I could ever complete this.
Later that day they sent me a digital version (which was much shorter and the questions made more sense) and like... Was that first questionnaire a test of some sort? It kind of feels like whenever a parent presents a child for evaluation the first thing they do is try to break the parent down.
And like... Knowing that many of these things (adhd / autism / PDA / SPD) have a strong genetic component... Why do they do they make getting help for your kid so reliant on the parent being able to get thru this obstacle course of things designed to be hard for people who... aren't... typical...
Anyway I think I got a very bad grade in Autism Mom, which I really don't regret at all.
I later found out that the clinic (which never responded anyway) was neck deep in abusive types of "therapy" and known to be horrible to neurodivergent parents. So 🖕😁🖕 to them.
Kiddo (now 13yo) has been seeing an occupational therapist "coach" for five years. Who is absolutely brilliant and lets me communicate via text and has pretty much saved our lives.
So yeah. I think the people who design those things as a requirement for getting help without any consideration for the needs and struggles of the people they're supposedly meant to be serving... Those folks should be dipped in sugar and hung out for the bees.
Hey if you have chronic pain, you gotta remember that the cognitive load of dealing with that is exhausting. Just that alone. Never mind what else you've got going on.
You're not lazy or being dramatic; you're overloaded.
Addition that definitely should not be hiding in the comments:
it also burns more carbs. cognitive and emotional processing takes calories; if youve been upset all day or studying math and you get hit with a WILD donut craving, your brain is telling you to Refuel and you Should, prontolike. it's not eating your feelings, it's keeping your brain fueled when it's working hard
Can we stop using "still lives with their parents" or "unemployed" or "doesn't have a drivers license" or "didn't graduate high school" as an insult or evidence that someone is a bad person? Struggling with independence or meeting milestones is not a moral failing.

This belovéd weirdo
Unironically, this is why society would crumble without diversity
Btw...
You can also use a regular sheet.
It doesn't have to be a fitted one, just get a regular sheet at maybe once size up from your mattress if you want some excess fabric to work with and just.
Fold it round the edges and tuck it tight underneath the mattress, and with excess corners you can tighten by just letting the corners stick out a little and pulling on those like tabs. Just tug on them here and there again to tighten back when it loosens, or use the loosening as a cue that its time to wash again
i dont need to tell anyone this but theres a White House App out and do not download it even as a joke
Literally do not. Like. if you already did then you may want to factory reset your device(s) and change any possibly affected credentials
According to people who work with code, this may actually be able to close a 911 call because Trump wants to send a fundraiser email through it.
It also seems like it will go off, sound and vibration, whenever someone posts. Trump is awake at 2 AM. You will not be able to shut off your phone or stop the noise until you handle this. It will also drain your battery by being a surprise 2 AM noisemaker.
Don't put it on your phone. It's actually stealing less data than I expected (I mean, yes, OBVIOUSLY it's tracking your location and sending that to any cop who's bored, but it isn't taking any credit card info, so hey, that's nice), but it still can access and fuck up anything saved on your phone, record any unlocking method you use including fingerprint and face, and seems to want to do so to force you to suddenly have an explosion of noise.
Again: this may extend to dropping a call for an ambulance.
Don't install it.
The official White House Android app has a cookie/paywall bypass injector, tracks your GPS every 4.5 minutes, and loads JavaScript from some
NEW INFORMATION CAME OUT!
Based on this article and other discussions with tech people, the app:
Provides your location, every 4.5 and 9.5 minutes, to Trump and company;
Can copy, modify, or delete information on your phone;
Can alter webpages you visit through them;
Has multiple security flaws;
Is creating a personal profile on users;
Can, in fact, interrupt phone calls, no definite answer on 911 but very likely;
Is showing signs of being spyware in unstated ways.
DO NOT INSTALL THIS.
you’d be surprised at how many doctors will tell you that schizophrenics shouldn’t masturbate, have sexual fantasies or write/draw erotica, let alone date or have actual sex, because it “distracts them from recovery”, as if schizophrenia is a two week course of antibiotics and not a lifelong neurotype and disability
in general I notice this attitude in the schizophrenia and bipolar treatment community that people with these DXes are never allowed to do anything non-constructive that normal people can do in moderation, no alcohol, no caffeine, no thc, no going to late concerts or parties, no unplanned trips, no spontaneous situationships, not even junk food. the only thing we’re really allowed to partake in is nicotine, I assume because cigarettes and gum are good incentives for controlling our behavior. our lives have to be All Working On Ourselves, All The Time, because we have Erratic Crazy Person Who Can’t Make Their Own Decisions Disorder, and it’s an endless, thankless task because there’s no actual cure.
sane person goes through a depression era in high school and does one bad thing that wasn’t illegal or even really mean-spirited, just irresponsible: wow I’m so glad you’re through that, that was a tough time but you pulled through
insane person goes through a depression era in high school and does one bad thing that wasn’t illegal or even really mean-spirited, just irresponsible: sorry but we just don’t ever feel like we can trust you alone again even though you haven’t done anything like that in over a decade. this is why you can’t go to a party on your own at 32.
This is a named phenomenon, it's called the dignity of risk. Essentially, neurotypical and non-disabled people are allowed to make "bad" decisions. They're allowed to stay up late and drink too much and whatever else, even though those things could have negative impacts. However, people who aren't those things aren't afforded the ability to make "bad" decisions and do detrimental things. There's more to it than that but my shift is about to start, sorry.
^ nobody really has autonomy until they can make their own "bad" choices, be that actual risks and/or mistakes, or decisions someone else doesnt agree with.
hii, sorry if this is weird, you don't have to answer, I just wanted to say thank you so much for this post

but especially for including self harm into the list. I am someone who had started the habit partially because it gave at least some semblance of control over what was going in in my life and with my body, yet I very rarely see the sentiment of body autonomy being directed towards such acts, despite the fact that it very much is a question of body autonomy!! I don't think I'm ever going to regret the scars, but even if I will, I think the regret would feel liberating in a sense. being able to regret something that only I, myself, no one else, chose to do with my own body. imagine that.
You're welcome! It is very important to me to spell out that when I defend bodily autonomy, I'm not just talking about things that can be sold as self care and healthy self expression (personal style and trans healthcare), but also decisions that are "objectively bad for you" (self harm, substance use, risky behavior). My defense of people getting to make their own decisions about their own bodies doesn't come with exceptions.
Even if you were a difficult child, you didn't deserve to be hurt.
I hope this message reaches all the neurodiverse and disabled people who were made to feel like their abuse was justified because they had "behaviors".
While this message is true for every child, you are who I had in mind when I wrote it.

I was misdiagnosed as schizotypical when I went to a psychiatrist because my "support specialist" said I was paranoid. Because I talked about my abuse and how upset I was at people hurting me to another provider, who then said I had paranoid personality disorder. So Everytime I talked about the abuse and mistreatment I received from the medical system as a person with a vagina and the psych system failing me in general, apparently that was enough to make them say I'm not autistic. They even said I had "gustatory hallucinations"- hella rare form of hallucinations- cause I have physical reactions to sensory inputs.
The "labeling the consequences of abuse and trauma as irrational mental illness symptoms" trend in psychiatry is deeply concerning. Too many psychiatric professionals would rather inherently dismiss you as delusional than ever seriously grapple with the possibility that you might actually be mistreated.
peace and love on Earth..
