every schizospec person deserves respect- severely paranoid schizospec people who struggle to form relationships, schizospec people who can't form complete sentences and struggle to converse, schizospec people who talk about their delusions with strangers, schizospec people who can't tell reality from fiction, schizospec people who are affected and unnerved by their hallucinations, schizospec people who struggle with hygiene and dressing themselves, schizospec people who can't double bookkeep, homeless schizospec people, addicted schizospec people, unmedicated schizospec people, and so on and so forth. all of us, not just those of us who can hold down jobs or be in education

Hey guys! I noticed there are pretty much no cute psychosis awareness stickers in existence, so I made a couple. I chose dandelions because IMO they are a very resilient, beautiful flower that are often misunderstood and hated <3
Hope you enjoy.
You can buy the wildflower/ribbon one here and the brain one here.

Happy Disability Pride month to my fellow disabled folks and those with disabled loved ones/other allies!
I hope you’re all taking care of yourself or doing your best to! (Lack of spoons and too many forks can make it hard, I know. Still, I’m wishing you all the best!)
Here’s to fighting ableism and standing tall in terms of pride! *handshake of solidarity between folks of all disabilities* :)

I’m curious, do any other schizospecs know how to drive? I imagine driving would be difficult for people with hallucinations or psychosis. I’ve been driving since before I was diagnosed and nothing has really changed, but it took me awhile to return to driving after my first psychotic episode.

doctors never really talk about how a huge part of schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder can be confusion. how i can spend a huge chunk of my day feeling confused and perplexed by most things i encounter, even every day things. it's not always scary, sometimes it's funny, sometimes it's frustrating. when it's paired with disorganized speech and thinking, it becomes harder.
anyway theres a lot to these conditions and people don't talk about much other than the hallucinations

Hi all!! I made another psychosis sticker! Get it here! Because we deserve those cool little floral mental health stickers too - psychosis is not a scary or evil word.
The lavender and dandelions represent hope and resilience <3 And I love dandelions, they are so maligned but so beautiful. The green ribbon is for psychosis/general mental health!
You can also get it as a shirt, tote bag, pin, magnet, etc on Redbubble as well.
I have a couple other stickers here!

Man it is deeply and intensely frustrating to live a life with psychosis. Basically anything spiritual will throw me into a spiral so quickly.
I used to love tarot cards. I still collect the decks because they’re quite lovely. I trained for years to be a proper tarot card reader only for it to horribly trigger my psychosis in a way that made me realize it needed to be cut out entirely. “The paper cards do not control my life” was a mantra I had to repeat to myself every day for as many years as I had trained to believe in and understand them.
When the shifting trend was big on TikTok I couldn’t be on the app at all because seeing it mentioned even slightly immediately sent me down a spiral.
I hate how this disorder controls me.

There should be a different approach towards those deep in psychosis. Being locked in empty rooms only with the most bare of necessities messes with your head even when your head is messed. It does something to you when no matter what you do, you can't get out of somewhere. We need a more humane approach towards those in psychosis. The trauma of being unable to escape a psych ward can linger a really long time.
I don't have the answers but I think we should treat humans like humans.

reminders.
people with vile political opinions are not "delusional."
erratic things are not "schizophrenic."
"psychotic" is not another word for violent.
"crazy" and "insane" are not appropriate to use as insults.
"delulu" should stay out of your fucking mouth if you're not psychotic. (if you are, whatever. you can make your own decisions about the word.)
"crazy people" are humans.

I would love to know more about cognitive issues associated with schizophrenic spectrum disorders.. im schizotypal & have been told the issues Ive been having with thought withdrawal n decreased motor activity n precision, among others, are caused by schizostuff and not dissociation, like i assumed.. i was very explicitly told dissociation does not manifest itself in same ways schizostuff does but not explained on account of what exactly they differ and i havent been able to find anything myself.. so i suppose info regarding thst topic could he of great use to many people. I apologize for lack of personal experience described its incredibly hard to put it into words. thank you for running this blog!
Hi! There are several ways schizophrenia effects cognitive function.
The cognitive symptoms of schizophrenia may, in part, be related to changes in the brain. Research, including a 2021 study, shows that people with schizophrenia have reduced cortical thickness, which may contribute to changes in thinking and memory.
Gray and white matter support cognitive functions like attention, memory, and language. A 2019 study reported that people with schizophrenia had less brain matter in several areas, including gray matter in the cortex, than people without schizophrenia.
The rate at which you receive, assess, and respond to new information is called your processing speed. This cognitive quality impacts how quickly you think, learn, and respond to your environment.
The volume of white matter in the brain affects processing speed.
There can be some degree of overlap with negative symptoms and they can be mutually exacerbating or compound each other. For example the loss of verbal ability combined with attention deficit can make conversation extremely difficult to the point it is avoided. Similarly, the negative symptom of avolition (the loss of the will to do things) combined with diminished executive performance makes many domestic tasks or chores increasingly complex and again, avoided.
Here’s a list of common cognitive functions impaired in schizophrenia:
Attention & Concentration
Social Cognition
Problem solving
Declarative memory
Working memory
Attention/concentration
Cognitive functions impaired in schizophrenia
Executive function
Social cognition
Processing speed
I wish you nothing but luck on your journey. 💚
