TYSM FOR THIS TAG, SOOO FUN!!! 💗 @qippy 💗 I made a few and had my friends n fam judge which I seemed the most like. It was unanimous! Apparently I'm a mischievous fun loving 🧚♀️
I based it on what I've seen my souls form to look like 🙂 which is like...entirely different than how I dress in this life 😂 band shirts and doc martens, 80% of my clothes are black
I tag pretty much whoever wants to do it but @angiethewitch you might like this!
Eggs: The runnier, the better. Also, fried, omelette, scrambled. Boiled. Love eggs.
Steak: Medium rare to rare. The bloodier, the better (I used to eat only well done.)
Milk: Full cream cows milk. Tried the others, not my jug.
Alcohol: Ironically, despite being an Australian and part Irish, im not a huge fan of alcohol. But I do like Vodka Cruisers (aka lolly water) and can drink 7.5 bottles of it before I throw up lmao
Warm drink: Anything from teas, coffee, hot chocolate and milk.
I just wanna talk about this for a minute. its a comment I got on my antipsychotics post. now the individual in question isn’t the person I want to focus on, ive already said what I wanted to say to them but I do want to address the rhetoric they are speaking about.
I see this rhetoric all the time. now, im not disregarding self help remedies. going for forest walks, eating well, exercising and talk therapy can do the world of good. however, I can walk until my legs drop off, I can eat organically and plant based all I like, I can spend hours and hours in the gym, I can talk until my therapists ears bleed and I will still be schizophrenic at the end of it. I will still have autism. I will still be ill. I was born with it. it wasn’t something poisoning my food, it wasn’t that I sit on the sofa all day, it wasn’t anything to do with that. it is literally that my brain was wired weirdly. home remedies can indeed help me, but they won’t fix anything. medication can indeed help me, but they won’t fix anything either. nothing in this world can cure me, unless science suddenly has a massive turnaround and ta da! we suddenly know exactly what causes the plethora of incurable illnesses and disorders that thousands on thousands of people are affected by.
I have tried the self help, I have tried simply ignoring it, I have tried any quick fix you can throw my way, and none of it worked. medication on its own didn’t work. it only works in conjunction with therapy, and exercise, and taking care of your body. all that doesn’t even make the schizophrenia go away, and that’s not the end goal. my end goal is to live with my schizophrenia and experiences while still enjoying my life and living in accordance to my values.
the anti medication rhetoric is seriously damaging to people like me, at least in my experience. I get fits of delusions that tell me my meds are trying to make me worse, that the Big Them are trying to poison me, that I’m just not trying hard enough. this is false. we can talk about the issues with pharmaceuticals another time. but commenting this kind of stuff on people’s posts is harmful. I’ve seen it on my posts and others posts. it just tells me im still not trying hard enough and it can actually trigger psychosis.
no amount of medication nor self help will help me work towards my goal of a fulfilling life. only all these things in conjunction can help me, with a big dose of hard work added into the mix. medication helped keep me safe until I got therapy, and exercise and a good well rounded diet didn’t do shit in the long run.
now I’m not attacking this person. I do believe they were trying to help me, because they, im sure, genuinely believe they have the Magic Cure. but please, everyone, please stop commenting this on psychotic people’s posts, or just mentally ill people in general. let us work out our best way forward with our doctors. you really could be doing more harm than good.
okay wait i went back and screenshotted some (most?) of the good ones that were like on the main plot here so you all saw the top posts with the Irish Stegosaurus well that evolved into
also kind of unrelated but because of this stupid subreddit im actually not as bad at identifying flags
anyways sorry for the long post i just really loved this whole thing
