On some shit Jehovah hasn't witnessed yet

These are all from a former grid size which does not support my vision access needs at this point in time. Because the grid size did not meet my vision access needs most of the buttons are double sized.

Main/Hub Page

ID: A page on TD Snap with teal, blue, and green buttons. In the upper left corner are the buttons The pain feels, Constantly, Intermittently. The majority of the page is a type of pain with a description of the pain sensation beneath it. They are as follows:

Aching, steady and might get worse when I move. Burning, like pins and needles, sharp, and prickling. Cramping, sudden, unexpected tightness in a muscle. Crunchy, like painful crackling or popping. Numb, like the muscle isn't there, or has no sensation.

Sore, like a very dull ache. Tingling, like the body part has fallen asleep, but it still hurts, or like TV static. Pinching, like sharp, acute tightness. Pulsing, like it ebbs and flows, like a heartbeat. Radiating, like it is reaching out to other parts of my body around it. Sharp, acute and sudden in a specific spot, not as intense as stabbing pain.

Shooting, like a line of pain along the body part. Stabbing, sharp, specific, like someone stabbing the body part. Like I am weak, like it is making my body part weaker or more difficult to move.

In teal are the phrases I don't want to say, I can't remember, I don't know. Along the bottom of the page are links to the pages Pain Scale, Pain Size, Pain Duration, and Pain Timeline. End ID.

This is the main page. This is for what is usually a very important part of communicating pain, at least for me and in my experience. I have a hard time telling pain apart. Doctors often want to know what the pain feels like and I have found that describing it is more effective than just saying "shooting," "burning," stuff like that. All pain symbols are off of AACIL by the way.

As a note I usually try to make sure I have a way to say I don't want to say, I don't know, and/or I can't remember. When I use my AAC in emergencies I am very vulnerable. I cannot move at all. I need to be able to quickly communicate these ideas because silence is usually not taken as one of those ideas and I risk having my AAC taken away or moved.

From this page it gets broader (pain scale) or more specific (size, duration, timeline).

Pain Size

ID: A page on TD Snap with white, yellow, orange, red, and pink buttons. The first button is a sentence stem and the other buttons describe sizes which gradually increase, and ends with several sentences.

In order, the buttons read The pain is the size of, pinprick, coin, some of body part, whole body part, several body parts, whole body, the pain is everywhere, random, I don't want to say, I don't know where the pain is, I can't remember. End ID.

This is to describe the size of the pain. What I would change is have it go to the body parts page for some of these. Or to add a body parts folder to the main page. Even just to add some body parts to this page.

Pain Duration

ID: A page on TD Snap with gray and green buttons. The top row describes frequency day to day, while the row below it describes how long onset takes.

In order, the buttons read The pain happens, all the time, daily, weekly, monthly, seasonally, suddenly, regularly, rarely, randomly. End ID.

Important to communicate how often the pain is. Normal/usual pain is a different emergency from sudden and new pain, or infrequent sudden pain. When I adapt this for my better grid size I will also make sure that I add a "never happened before" button.

Pain Timeline

ID: A page on TD snap for describing how long a pain has lasted. The buttons are yellow for within a day, orange for words within a month, red for words within a year, and blue for other timelines.

In order, the buttons read The pain has lasted, just started, an hour, a day, a couple of days, a week, a couple of weeks, a month, a couple of months, a year, years, episodic, constant but sometimes better and sometimes worse. End ID.

Again I would add a "never before" button. But otherwise solid page I think.

Pain Scale

ID: A screenshot of a page in TD Snap. The columns move from light blue to dark red, left to right, with increasing pain severity. The first row has faces for a pain scale, going from a smiling face to an upset face.

The second row has numbers 1 through 10 left to right. The third row has descriptions of pain going No pain, minimal pain, mild pain, uncomfortable pain, moderate pain, distracting pain, distressing pain, unmanageable pain, intense pain, severe pain, and ending on unable to move.

The fourth and final row has functional descriptions which read, from least to greatest and left to right, I have no pain, My pain is hardly noticeable, Low level of pain I am only aware of pain when I pay attention to it, My pain bothers me but I can ignore it most of the time, I am constantly aware of my pain but I can continue most activities, I think about my pain most of the time I can't do some activities I need to because of the pain, I think about my pain all the time I give up many activities because of my pain, I am in pain all the time it keeps me from doing most activities, My pain is so severe it's hard to think of anything else Talking and listening are difficult, My pain is all I can think about I can barely talk or move from the pain, and the last most extreme box reads I can't move from my pain I need someone to take me to the emergency room for it. End ID.

A good one. One of the pages I use often to speak to myself and to doctors, and I usually find myself quoting it when I am verbally communicating with doctors outside of emergencies. Feeling pain and registering it is difficult for many people for many reasons. I really recommend a page like this.

ID: A section of the board with dark green buttons. The words on each, from left to right, top to bottom, are as follows: delusion, belief not based in reality, belief, reality check. Hallucination, sensory experience not based in reality, sense, sensation. Hallucinating, generally accepted reality, unreality, different reality. Psychotic, psychosis, psychotic episode, schizoaffective. End ID.

This section is general words relating to psychosis. I might need them during an episode but I might not. When I'm in an episode I prefer certain language so I generally paired them up next to each other (delusion is next to belief not based in reality, etc.).

ID: A heavily censored screenshot with maroon buttons. Each reads Do not talk to me about, and is then censored. All of the symbols are also censored. End ID.

These are quickfire sentences I can use to ask people to stop talking about certain triggers. I hope you can understand why I have censored them.

ID: A screenshot of more dark green buttons. From left to right, top to bottom, they read as follows: disorganized thinking, disorganized speech, paranoia, psychosis trigger, surveilance, telepathy, mind reading, Capgras delusion, Cotard's delusion, delusion of grandeur. End ID.

This is a section of general symptoms I experience during an episode as well as some common themes in my episodes. I do not experience some of these but I have them here so it's easy to get to them if someone else is experiencing them, or so I can quickly say that I'm not experiencing one (or that I never have).

ID: A screenshot of red and green buttons. The red buttons read as follows: I might be a danger to myself, I might be a danger to others, I might be a danger to myself or others, it's not safe for me to be alone right now, I feel unsafe. The green buttons read as follows: I am not in danger of harming myself, I am not in danger of harming others, I am not in danger of harming myself or others. End ID.

This section is difficult and makes me upset and also I think it's important to have for safety planning. It lets me quickly communicate what my physical safety status is.

ID: Two images of a full column broken up to be more compact for the post. They are purple buttons which read, top to bottom, as follows: I think I might be, I am, thinking, feeling, hearing, seeing, smelling, tasting, sensing, something that isn't really there. End ID.

A quick and non-stigmatizing way for me to communicate to someone that I am hallucinating. I get very sensitive about wording when I am in a full psychotic episode so I worded this section very delicately. I also put the "I think I might be" there so that if it really is there it's easier for someone to realize they can affirm it's real and actually a thing that's happening.

ID: Two images of a full column broken up to be more compact for the post. The first two are green, and read Can you give me a reality check? I need a reality check. The next two are red and read Please don't reality check me, I don't need a reality check. The next four are teal, and read Can I write it down? Can I draw it? Once I give it to you, can you destroy it? Can I type what I am thinking, and then you can read it? The last button is maroon and reads I can't say what I believe right now. End ID.

These are my buttons for communicating how I want to communicate my thoughts that I might feel sensitive or defensive about because they might not be based in reality.

ID: Two teal buttons. The first one reads It is important to me that this isn't shared. The second one reads I need you to promise you won't tell anyone. End ID.

Last two buttons to talk about. They are here because I prefer to have different ways to say things, but also I usually like to double check when I'm in an active episode, and it helps me to have a way to quickly double check that when I share something with someone it will stay secret.

That is the board. I do not plan to share boards often. A lot of the ones that are more than the default are really personal to me and I don't like people seeing them since it feels like they're looking into my head. But I did want to share this one just because some people have said they have benefited from having it.
