I have been in and out of therapy, hospitals, and psychiatry since I was 7 yrs old. I've been diagnosed with several different mental illnesses many times in my life...

This is a "mental health side blog" but really it's just my online diary ♡

I'm trying to fight these cravings but I already colored, ate food, took a long shower, did a face mask, played video games (until I got annoyed), and the craving went away and another one came so I'm just gonna lay here I guess

I wasn’t crazy about this piece so I wasn’t intending on publicly posting it again, but it keeps getting stolen every five minutes so I figured I’d put it here so people at least know who to attribute the original thing to lmao

i have never met an unpsychotic person who knows what it actually means to “not encourage the delusion” …not a single one

what “don’t encourage the delusion” means:

  • don’t argue with or challenge the delusion—attempting to disprove someone’s 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 they’re experiencing isn’t real

I don’t 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 they’re dealing with unharmed.

i don’t think it’s trivializing at all, nor a weird comparison—as 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.

It's just me and this alcohol removed wine and this comfort food and this podcast and my prescription campral, against the world right now.

Just bought non alcoholic beer, alcohol removed wine and a margarita mix.

I bet the non alcoholic beer won't taste good but maybe. I know the alcohol removed wine slaps because I had it before.

What can I say? This describes exactly how I feel. I'm so bored all the time, it's like chronic boredom, idfk. I'm just so tired and bored and indifferent at everything
