The reason people are told "mundane before magic" is so they remember to do things like check whether they've got mold or carbon monoxide in their house before they decide the problem is a malevolent spirit, find out whether their health problems have a treatable medical cause before deciding they're cursed, and make sure they have a mechanic check their car once they hear funny noises instead of just casting a safety spell on it and calling it good. People get hurt if they neglect the mundane.
My ancestors would have wanted pasteurization, vaccines, antibiotics, disinfectants, birth control, psychiatric medications, pain management, anesthesia. My ancestors would have wanted to be able to keep their loved ones around longer, and not lose them too early/too soon to childbirths, injuries, bacterial infections, mental illnesses, and diseases that are curable and/or preventable in our modern day life.

personally I'm annoyed by the socioeconomic conditions that made words like "unalive" necessary but simultaneously impressed by the linguistic adaptations young people have made to continue talking about important things while subject to those conditions and I think if you can't hold both of those thoughts in your head you might just be old man yelling at cloud

Letās just say, episode 9 changed my perspective of episode 5 and 6. It explains Ragathaās behaviors towards Jax getting close with Pomni and she said āJax is corrupting herā. I thought corrupting meant Pomni changing for bad, not literally
So she has been trying to protect her, to not let the history repeat
a lot of people assume psychosis hallucinations are super intense all-consuming horror movie shit like the memes about the hat man or always horrible debilitating things that make you dangerous to be around
but in my experience 95% of my hallucinations are getting spooked by very clearly hearing someone knocking on my door or calling my name from another room or hearing footsteps walking behind me which are "just" my brain recreating the horror of an abusive childhood
i *have* gotten the "bugs crawling all over me" hallucination once or twice though and yeah that one is exactly as terrible horrible as it sounds AUGH

I just had the thought. As long as you take care of yourself and don't harm others you aren't sick. Doctors and nurses take it too far. Telling you to lose weight or get a job or do this or do that.
I hate that, as schizophrenic people, we need to abide by the cultural norm and conform. I hate my thoughts being policed and governed.
Like there comes a point where they don't just want your symptoms in check, but for you to be the person they want to be.
donāt argue with or challenge the delusionāattempting to disprove someoneās delusions is not helpful at all and will result in that person not trusting you
assure the delusional person that they are safe; be open and honest at all times
encourage them to verbalize their feelings and offer protection to prevent injury to themselves or, possibly, others
start building a trusting relationship with them rather than acting on a desire to control their symptoms
do not confirm or feed into the delusion by asking questions about it when the person is not experiencing a psychotic episode
what it does not mean:
insisting to a psychotic person experiencing psychosis that what theyāre experiencing isnāt real
I donāt mean to trivialize psychosis by making a weird comparison, but this guide also serves as a handy checklist for helping someone through a bad drug trip. In both cases your number one priority is to get the person through whatever theyāre dealing with unharmed.
i donāt think itās trivializing at all, nor a weird comparisonāas a psychotic person who has had psychotic episodes inadvertently triggered by drug use and/or worsened while trying to self-medicate with drugs, i think this is an important addition.
What this boils down to is having compassion for someone whose perception of reality is altered. Telling someone what theyāre experiencing isnāt real when that is the experience they are having right now is utterly useless. When you donāt know who or what to trust, having a safe person to help tether you helps a lot.
Psychosis is terrifying. Anything that distorts your perception (hallucinations, delusions, cognitive deficits, drug effects) and makes you feel distrustful (paranoia is common in all of these) increases your stress and fear. So as a safe person, you want to reduce that stress and fear, and create a space where the person can ride out what theyāre experiencing instead of exacerbating it.
Donāt ācorrectā the person; you are listening to THEIR CURRENT PERCEPTION, and facts arenāt relevant to that. Be compassionate without affirming the delusion. Validate the emotions, not the delusion: āThat sounds really scary/upsetting/etc.ā If you believed what they currently believe, youād be scared/upset. Compassion validates that their feelings are real without reinforcing the delusional belief. This is vital.
Sometimes, when Iām in an episode and especially near the beginning, it helps just being able to talk about what Iām experiencing without judgement and especially being able to vent my feelings of frustration, fear, paranoia, and general wariness of the world and whether anything is real if I canāt trust my senses. Knowing my spouse will not have me locked up for my mental illness and will listen and empathize and offer support helps.
There have been times we have driven around for hours, and I get the aux and just play whatever I feel like, and we observe things we pass through the windows, a form of shared reality-building that is soothing to me because I like riding in the car. Yeah, Iām still having an episode, but it reduces stress and fear, so I donāt get stuck there.
A safe person makes a HUGE difference for someone who is experiencing psychosis. Truly.
