hi I’m opening emergency commissions again!! my partner and I have a few days to get some funds together, our housing situation is super desperate right now and we have less than a week to figure it out and not really any money to figure it out with unfortunately. so, I’m opening these at a slight discount so we can hopefully get this all sorted out before it’s too late!

the rly heartbreaking thing about having a “scary” mental illness or symptoms on tumblr is that your behavior and lived reality is still seen as demonized, overwhelming, and upsetting but due to overwhelming majority of content surrounding how you live is just easily-digestible positivity posts, people decide to paint themselves as allies to people who exist with those symptoms, but the only posts that they engage with are just “schizophrenic people are lovely! if you have delusions you are beautiful! systems are wonderful!” which does nothing to help people who arent systems/don’t have delusions or hallucinations to learn how to interact with people who do, especially people who are their loved ones or are in distress. any post about how to help approach your friend who’s having a paranoid episode won’t get traction because, despite it being practically useful, it makes people confront the fact that they’re still in some way not equipped to dealing with our symptoms in a practical manner, and that is uncomfortable. the blow to their egos that they’re not made a perfect ally by showing a vocal acceptance for people with ostracized symptoms is too much to bear.
anyway, if you want some tips from one delusional person on where to start, here’s some
-ask your friend when they’re <i>not in distress</i> what they personally want support for when they come to you during an episode. everyone’s needs are different, and by asking ahead of time it doesn’t put you BOTH in a state of panic about not knowing what to do and feeling helpless. -do reading on your own about how to help people from trusted mental health resource and advocacy sites. check in with your friend if these sites seem to give useful information or not. -learn the differences between helping debunk a delusion, going along with it, and enabling a delusion (which you should not do). talk with your friend to figure out which tactic they might prefer in a given circumstance and work out effective ways of assisting them by using that tactic. -understand that while a delusion might not be real, the feelings accompanying it are very real, and are often distressing. express that you take those feelings seriously without enabling the delusion. -your friend may have trouble articulating their needs or wants while in distress, and may have a hard time with decision making. be prepared to make decisions or lead during these times. -guilt and shame are also common emotions. personally i usually can tell when i’m believing something no one else seems to believe, and i feel very embarrassed and ashamed for feeling so strongly about it. your friend might also feel guilty for not feeling in control of themself, or having to rely on someone else to make decisions, or feel ashamed for believing in/fearing something “silly” or “fake”. comforting your friend and making sure they know that you’re someone reliable and trustworthy, someone who takes their feelings and wellbeing seriously, can help them feel more open about their experiences too -if your friend lashes out at you or others, encourage them to step back from the situation. i’d recommend remaining available to talk but giving them a little bit of space.
if youve noticed that most of these involve “communicating with people openly and honestly about how to help them” then youre on the right track. other delusionhavers if theres something you think i missed feel free to tack on. the rest of you stay quiet
its my gender and i get to pick the appropriate times to misgender myself for comedic purposes
i beg you all please stop hiding these in the tags
Sometimes the energy of a situation is that if an old man or a young girl or a middle aged man having a crisis and referring to yourselves as such has nothing to do with your own gender
Sometimes a gender is just the name of the vibe
Sometimes you wanna call yourself a bitch or a queen or a dude without everyone around you doing surprised Pikachu faces
Almost 200 people were murdered in Armenia in 3 days and y'all are still ignoring us.
This is not a war, this is a massacre Azerbaijan and Turkey are committing against the Armenian people.
Turkey’s president literally admitted that he wants to finish what his ancestors started. He wants to commit another genocide, and this time he wants to kill us all.
Silence is violence
Update: it’s been over a month. 2 thousand people were murdered so far. Please, I’m so scared, just reblog this. I’m not asking for a lot, if you can’t donate that’s fine, just share this.
