Psychotic Safe Place @psychotic-psypport - Tumblr Blog

To all of my folks who struggle with self-harm:

The urge/desire may never go away and that's ok. It doesn't mean anything if youre still hit with the impulse to sh. You’re not failing, you're not some unfixable lost cause, and you're not doing it wrong. I am the happiest I've ever been and I still want to self-harm sometimes. I have to remind myself that a habit like that no longer has a place in my life. There's nothing wrong with you if you still crave it sometimes. It might not go away, but you're doing great regardless

I will make a beautiful life for myself no matter how long it takes. I will I will I will

traumasurvivors

Even if I didn’t have a solid plan, in the back of my head, I always assumed I’d kill myself.

Now I’m an adult and people my age have their lives in order and I’m stuck here, confused, because I never planned to be alive and I’m so far behind.

I feel like I’ll never catch up.

traumasurvivors

Hey all.

I want to make an addition to this. I made this post a long time ago.

I’m currently back in university, and I’ve made so much progress with my trauma. I’m in a loving relationship.

Things can and will get better. It’s not too late.

Nothing is perfect by any means. But I’m happy I’m still here and didn’t kill myself. I hope you get to that point, too 💕

traumasurvivors

The addition is important! I see the original post circulating a lot, but the addition is important!

traumasurvivors

New addition two years later. I’m still going strong!

I’m getting married. I’m still in that loving relationship.

I’ve learned that there’s no real timeline. It’s okay. And while it sucks that I lost time, there’s still so much for me to experience and enjoy.

traumasurvivors

Newest addition. 7 years after the original post!

I got married last month! My dog is laying on me snoring. I’ve learned to have healthy friendships and relationships. I’ve learned that I’m not alone and that even when things are hard, I’m going to be okay.

traumasurvivors

This showed up in my notes again. And here we are. 2026.

I’ve been married a little over two years. I just got home from friendships that feel like home and family. My husband and I have our own place. I have a full ass book ready to be published.

I don’t know. I’m still in a good place and I can’t believe how far I’ve come from my original post.

reblogging a post that says “do it scared” vs actually doing it scared

reasons people might be looking at you in public (that aren’t negative)

they like what you’re wearing.

you look like someone they know.

they recognize a piece of clothing or accessory you’re wearing.

they think you’re beautiful or attractive.

they’re not actually looking at you; they’re completely zoned out.

they're bored and people-watching.

they recognize you from somewhere.

they’re hesitating to ask you something or give you a compliment.

they’ve seen you in that same place before.

you caught their eye.

you look like how they imagined a fictional character to look.

you’re actively reminding them of something completely unrelated and they’re thinking about it.

they’re admiring one of your visual qualities (smile, stance, hairstyle).

also good to note that when someone walks into a room or moves suddenly or makes a noise it’s a normal reaction for people to look over! it doesn’t mean you did anything wrong or are being weird if everyone looks over at you, it’s just curious animal brain :]

wish there was an easy and normal way to say “I’m not as sane as you probably assume i am, and when you can see it, will you still try to love me?”

pansyfemme

just in case this spreads: i literally mean “not sane” here. I’m not joking about how goofy i am. I mean i have behaviors and symptoms and histories that most people don’t- and ones that have been considered insane. Will you still love me when i tell you I hear things sometimes? Will you still love me when you know I’ve attempted suicide multiple times? Will you still love me when I obsess over things and break down often and can’t promise you i can always be happy?

puttering around the house is an underrated form a self-care. make some tea or coffee. put on a podcast. sort the mail. tidy some pillows and fold some blankets. start the laundry. thaw some soup. just casually wander around aimlessly doing little things to make your space and life a little nicer. who cares if you get distracted or only do a little. you aren't being productive. you're puttering.

aiweirdness

My life has gotten measurably better since I reframed the period from 3-4 pm as “puttering hour”. No it’s not me avoiding work or failing to force myself to concentrate during my mid afternoon slump. It’s puttering hour.

ocdiscourse

ive always had like, vague spread out hallucinations since i was little but since last year those among other psychosis symptoms have gotten generally stronger and especially within the last few months its just kinda. the symptoms have exploded in strength? im really scared because in terms of symptoms today has been the worst and hardest day ever :((

i know now i need help but i’m really scared to ask for it.. i’ve had therapists and psychiatrists before (dont have either because i moved but i’m looking into getting both again asap) but in comparison to other things i’ve gotten help from them before, bringing these kinda things up is really really terrifying and i’m dreading what the outcome could be (especially because i have to talk to my parents about it before i talk to the doctors and i’ve been trying to keep this under wraps for a really long time)

i guess what i’m asking is if i could get any advice or good luck wishes or affirmation that it’s gonna be okay.. i’m scared that i’m gonna get strapped to a hospital bee or something and i just wanna hear from someone who’s gone through this or felt the way i do that it’s gonna be okay or at least be told what happens when people find out/treatment starts so i’m not surprised haha

uh sorry about the ramble thank you so much for any help or advice you give.. /gen

Never apologize for a ramble, I am a certified yapper!

Reading this feels like looking back on my own journey. I can't remember a time before my symptoms, but they ramped up dramatically when I was in middle school and everything changed for me.

Thats why you can trust me when i tell you its going to be ok. The things you're afraid of are things I was afraid of. The conversations you are going to have to have are ones I've had too. Going through this can be wicked scary and it is so reasonable for you to be nervous, but the fact that you are starting this journey means you are already closer to a healthier and happier you. Even admitting that it's time to talk to someone is progress, and I am so proud of you for being brave enough to take that first step.

I know how bleak and hopeless it can feel sometimes and how huge these problems are, the weight of them and how hard it can be to carry it. I've been there. I just want to impart on you my hope and my joy. As someone who has been on a million medications and gone to so much therapy and done blood draws and MRIs and scans and everything else, the path can seem so so long, but there is light at the end. I never thought I'd be as happy as I am now in my whole life. I didn't think it was possible, but I'm here and life is so good. If I can make it, so can you.

I'm not sure if this is exactly what you had in mind, but I just want you to know that this is not something that is going to end your story. Whatever happens next, this is not going to be a death sentence. You can still be happy and fulfilled and whole. Things might be hard, and they might be hard for a long time, but it's worth it. Don't lose hope in that.

You can do this. You're so strong and so brave for having dealt with this and I hope opening up about it allows you to put some of the weight down, to hand part of it over to someone else to make your life a little easier.

Please don't hesitate to send me more messages/let me know how this conversation and your progress goes. I am rooting for you so hard. You're going to be ok and I have complete faith in that. If you don't feel that yet, I'll have it for the both of us <3

I've got the same things to say as last year but I'm saying it again because I still feel it:

I'm 27 today!! I never ever thought I'd live to see this many birthdays, yall, and with even more to come!! We're surviving and living past what we expect to be the end of our stories

Living my best life, so so glad I stuck around instead of ending it, genuinely happy to be here

Never kill yourself!

disorganized speech anon again. Thank you for your answer. It was very insightful and actually probably what I needed to hear right now. I appreciate it :)

I'm so glad! I'm always open if you need :)

#ask #answered #anon

Im recently diagnosed schizoaffective and wanted to ask you about disorganized speech. A) can you have disorganized speech outside of an actively psychotic episode? and B) how can you tell a difference between disorganized speech and just having, like, a quirky vocabulary? since diagnosis, me + my family have identified some types of disorganized speech patterns in myself but it feels strange that something so seemingly innocuous could be a symptom of my mental illness. any good sources on this?

Hi there!

I think that a lot of symptoms that effect psychotic people, especially the symptoms that present in a physical way (movements, expressions etc) can show up pretty regularly outside of a psychotic episode. Just because you're not in an active episode doesn't mean that the whole kit and caboodle goes away. My personal experience with disorganized speech is limited and it hasn't been one of the symptoms that have really played an active role in my life, but that's been my experience with it. Its a very personalized thing, going through psychosis/schizospec disorders.

On that tangent, it makes sense to me that its been hard to pick apart your speech to figure out what is disorganized speech and what is your quirks, but these things mix, they blend. You are a result of everything in your life all jumbled up to create your unique life experience and your psychosis is no different. It doesnt have to be a bad thing either, it can just be a thing, you know?

I'm sorry if this isn't exactly what you asked for, but I hope this helps regardless

anyways schizospec and psychotic people who are also horror fans are stronger than any u.s. marine

aspergilloma

It sounds kinda dramatic but I think psychosis (particularly schizophrenia) is often socially regarded as a form of death. Psychotics aren't seen as real, living people so much as ghosts or fragments of our sane selves.

psychotic-psypport

Exactly! One of the things I say most often when I am asked about being psychotic, surviving it, how anyone else is meant to do the same, is that it is not a death sentence. Society treats schizospec disorders as the end of the line and makes it so hard to hope for recovery and a happy life when you are told so often this is a form of death. The narrative we are handed is dismal and fake and you should discard it because life is still worth living. You're still alive to live it.

Am I the only one who notices it’s “okay” and people “love” and obsess over characters with disorders and mental health problems

But as soon as a IRL person has the same problems they treat them with disgust? And subhuman while still glazing a fictional character?

We need to stop letting people romanticize disorders, or gatekeep fictional characters with disabilities and disorders at this point.

I have jumped into too many fandom spaces and seeing this shit and knowing more than one person who has demonized me for having disorders I can’t help and then gushing over disabled characters.

Small vent, but yeah-

Not the only one at all. Its so annoying to have depictions of us being fetishized or woven into some beautiful tragedy when we are real and receive judgement for the very things that make fiction characters so compelling to these people.

Youre not alone. I hate it too

schizoetic

People with psychosis aren't fucking entertainment. We aren't here to be stared at. We aren't here to satisfy anyones twisted amusement. None of us are media to be consumed. Our purpose to live isn't to be laughed at. The reason we survive isn't to be made a mockery of. We're people.

How do you know if you have schizoaffective or schizophrenia?

Hi!

The way it was explained to me when I got my diagnosis was that schizophrenia and schizoaffective are very close, but that schizoaffective is characterized with a mood element (depression or bipolar disorder) as well as the psychotic symptoms that are in schizophrenia, making schizoaffective something of a package deal.

That being the big difference, I think thats where you ought to look if you're trying to discern one from the other.
