My Personal Account Of Schizophrenia

Schizophrenic culture is not being able to explain exactly who They are but being secure in the knowledge that They are out there and that They won’t leave us alone.

destroy the idea that crying is negative. crying is relief, a way to let all of the sadness, anger, joy and emotion out. end the idea that we need to stop crying, stop letting out emotion, stop being human. end it.

Do you ever try to rationalize one of your delusions but then that just leads you into another delusion? Like fuck man I was just tryna fix it and I made it worse

ever feel totally exhausted but you got absolutely nothing done?

quick guide for non-psychotic people: sanity is not our goal. happiness + stability is. delusions,hallucinations,etc. and happiness are not mutually exclusive. in fact from my experience, completely getting rid of these things isn’t usually realistic. stop treating psychosis like a fate worse then death and stop giving your opinions on how psychotic people chose to deal with their symptoms as long as they are content.

keep this post going. seriously if you arent psychotic please share this with other not psychotic people

Amen.

Ok so this seriously hit home with me and kinda startled me. Thank you.

gah thank you this is so helpful for people who dissociate regularly/have varying psychoses 

can people who don’t have schizophrenia stop with the “maybe people with schizophrenia aren’t crazy after all, maybe they just hear frequencies from another dimension” or some weird shit like that. don’t turn our illness into your wannabe fantasy story. 

your reason for staying alive doesn’t have to be something “deep” or “meaningful”. you don’t have to have some grand plan for the future in order to justify staying alive. there’s no ‘silly’ reason to decide not to kill yourself today.

It’s so weird, you go a week, two weeks without any episodes and you’re all like ‘mental illness who?’ And then reality comes crashing back in
