Words that are very important to schizo-spec and psychotic people because they are the few words that accurately describe our unique and often life-changing experience:
• delusion/delusional
• hallucinate/hallucinating
• psychosis/psychotic
•schizophrenia/schizophrenic
• paranoia/paranoid
• word salad
Please don't use these words incorrectly. It does directly impact us. Yes the meaning of words evolves, but we don't have words to replace these ones. But you have words to replace these if you are using them as descriptors for something evil, unpredictable, selfish, contradictory, scared, misspeaking, etc.

Halsin really hits that sweet character spot of the one that is always taking care of others, drowning in responsibilities, blaming himself for his assumed failures (for centuries), being supportive and lovely and understanding, while also using his open friendliness to deflect from the fact that he truly needs to be kinder to himself.
and a hug.
He needs a hug.

All I did was look up "word salad" trying to understand it since I'm having a bit of an episode and needed to explain it to my non-psychotic friend.
So. Many. Articles. About. Narcissistic. Word. Salad. What???
Saying it's an intentional gaslighting method by narcissists. Even saw one for psychopaths. When did the anti-narcs steal the term word salad??? Word salad is a symptom of schizophrenia. What the actual fuck? I can't even feel truly mad, I'm just disgusted.
Word salad isn't just "bringing stuff up that doesn't have anything to do with the current conversation" or "throwing in words to manipulate you into feeling like it's your fault." Guess what. As a narcissist and psychotic, my narcissism has some bad delusions with it especially when I'm triggered. So yeah, some things I say may not make sense. Cause I'm having a fucking episode. It is not intentional manipulation.
Seriously. I have not fucking seen this until I just wanted to Google word salad to try to give my friend an idea of what was happening since I'm having a moment of clarity. Did not need to be met with anti narcissist bullshit. I typed in TWO WORDS. That is how fucking easy this information is to find. I'm sick of this shit.

₊˚♡˚₊ been thinking on love languages & faith recently & that led me to Hidan headcanons because I'm a weeaboo w/ no limits ig ₊˚♡˚₊
₊˚♡˚₊ just a word salad post about Hidan and how (I think) he loves ₊˚♡˚₊
Tags: Hidan, a little angst? maybe?, this can be kakuhida or reader-insert or anything really- ball's in ya'll's court on that one
Tumblr media
Hidan's love comes in the form of his faith, because that's the one way he knows how to communicate it. it's nagging, it's demanding, it pushes boundaries without consideration.
to proselytise is to extend his hand and offer you a chance at eternal life, free from the constraints of mortality that would eventually take you from his side. maybe it's done in part to spread the word of his god, but it's also something done out of love.
a follower of the faith of slaughter and suffering, his love is in his blood.
how is he meant to enjoy eternal life when he lives with the knowledge that anyone he might dare to love, or even care for, will face a short existence that ends in the punishment of suffering with no meaning?
to Hidan, love is a gamble that, when looked at in terms of risk versus reward, bears all the risk and none of the reward.
because he exists in a burning house where his hand is extended, open and waiting to be taken, just so you might be saved, with all his knowing that you would sooner succumb to the fire than accept salvation.
does his heart ever fight his faith when you stray too close to death? knowing that in your final hour, you might meet his eye and ask him, 'how could you not have told me, that i could have been saved?' or worse, you might accept the finality of your short life, and go quietly into that goodnight?
an eternal existence separate from any he might ever love, because he- the breathing evidence of a power higher than you and himself and anyone -failed to convince you that Lord Jashin is waiting, His arms wide open, if only you could open your eyes, and please, just accept Him?
I think Hidan gives his love the way one might lay an offering to the altar, a token given in the hopes that his prayers are answered and you walk the path alongside him, so that he might not be forced to lose the one thing that ever managed to sink its roots into his heart.
it's desperate, it's insistent, because it's your blood that laves his tongue, stains his hands, when you turn your face from the gift of life eternal, from the god that's always desperate to grant such a priceless gift as that. heavy are the shoulders that bear the burden of a duty flippantly rejected. all he ever wanted, was to save you.
what a visceral pain it is, to have ever let himself love.

could you share any more under-talked about symptoms of schizophrenia, like executive dysfunction?
I've actually been meaning to make a post like this but keep forgetting (lol that's a symptom). As a disclaimer, not everyone with schizophrenia has every one of these symptoms, and people can have a lot of these symptoms and not have schizophrenia (if they don't have the psychotic symptoms). Not all of these symptoms are seen as diagnostic criteria, some have just been observed to be very common in people with schizophrenia. (I'm excluding hallucinations and delusions because they are more well known)
• Paranoia: a pattern of behavior where a person feels distrustful and suspicious of other people and acts accordingly. This can go hand in hand with hallucinations and delusions.
• Disorganized thoughts: this can mean a lot of things. It can be not having a linear train of thought, having incoherent thoughts, thought blocking, general disorganized thoughts. (It can be hard to define because it is often hard to describe for the person experiencing it).
• Disorganized speech: this is often a result of the disorganized thoughts. This can include loose associations like rapidly shifting between topics with no connections between the topics. Perseveration, which is repeating the same things over and over again. Made up words that only have meaning to the speaker. Use of rhyming words without meaning. Word salad, which is when cognitive disorganization is severe, it can be nearly impossible to understand what the person is saying, but the person speaking doesn't know they aren't making sense.
• Trouble concentrating: lack of concentration, switching from topic to topic, not being able to focus on one thing. (This is pretty self explanatory).
• Movement disorders: catatonia can be repetitive non goal directed movements. It can also be complete or partial immobility, mutism, vacant staring, and rigidity. Although not a symptom, tardive dyskinesia can occur in schizophrenia as a result of antipsychotics medication.
• Anhedonia: a loss of pleasure in activities that the person once enjoyed. Or the inability to feel pleasure at all.
• Atypical or non-existent emotional expression: Flat or blunted affect is an inability to show emotions characterized by a lack of facial expression, a monotone voice, and no hand gestures. On the other hand people can also have inappropriate affect, where the emotional expression doesn't align with typical reactions or even the person's own feelings.
• Alogia: when someone speaks less, says fewer words or only speaks in response to others. This can be a result of disorganized thoughts.
• Social withdrawal: avoiding people and activities that someone once enjoyed. Not actively being present during social situations. Can progress to total isolation.
• Avolition: a severe lack of initiative to accomplish purposeful tasks. This is a big reason some people with schizophrenia can't work/go to school, can't do chores, and can't keep up with their basic hygiene. Even if the person wants to do these tasks, it may be extremely difficult or impossible for them to get themselves to start or complete the task due to the lack of motivation.
• Executive dysfunction: a behavioral symptom that disrupts a person's ability to manage their own thoughts, emotions and actions. This can include focussing too much on one thing, being easily distracted, spacing out, struggling to switch between tasks, problems with impulse control and trouble starting difficult or boring tasks. Several schizophrenia symptoms fit into the umbrella of executive dysfunction, so when researching you will either see the specific ones listed out, or just simply described as executive dysfunction.
• Alexithymia: significant challenges in recognizing, expressing, and describing one's own emotions.
• Poor memory: this can include working memory deficits like trouble planning, organizing, and carrying out daily chores such as running errands, because it requires mentally formulating a “to do” list organized by time and location. Many people with schizophrenia also report trouble with their episodic memory, which means they have trouble recollecting things in the context of their place and time. (A lot of sources say "trouble with memory" is a symptom but they don't specify).
• Trouble with decision making: people with schizophrenia have been shown to have trouble with decision making due to a decline in the understanding and reasoning aspects of it.
• Sensory processing deficits: this has been widely reported in schizophrenia, and include impairments in visual processing, auditory processing, olfactory and sensorimotor systems. This can lead to having strong positive or negative reactions to sensory information.
• Sleep troubles: though disturbed sleep isn't included in the diagnostic criteria for schizophrenia, it is still a significant problem that up to 80% of people with the condition experience. People with schizophrenia may have various sleep problems, including insomnia, excessive daytime sleepiness, and trouble with consistent sleep routines.
• Anosognosia: also called "lack of insight," is a symptom that impairs a person's ability to understand and perceive their illness. This is a big reason people with schizophrenia may refuse to get, or stay with treatment.

Just going put this here. Am not going pay attention to aggressive asks no more.
If going be mean in way say what want say then go away... going be blocked or have ask deleted.
Kiki want give advice to fellow mutuals and tumblr people... if need, can ALWAYS delete asks comments posts etc. NOT NEED answer reblog etc always every time.
So about the aggressive ask Kitty get just now. Kiki can't help word salad because is shizospec and semiverbal. May find good word posts before in Kitty old posts because condition has got progressively worse. Also remember Kiki NOT native speak english. So processing language that not was born in very very very hard.
Instead of waste energy going do other thing.
Ask friend say thing so understand clearly. Friend very nice and name is Verônica (she/her). Vero send insta message about ask.
First is for context (not all) second is answer!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
[ 1 ID: instagram direct messages. Kiki says "So aggressive tumblr person send ask that very very unecessary about not can understand what Kitty says. Person siad also that was dyslexic so not really know what say and need help with words because want be understand. Also kiki dyslexic too as Vero know :( so can say thing for anon?". Then says following "For post". END ID ]
[ 2 ID: Verônica, the friend, reply with "Hi. I am kiki's friend, and i am writing for her because she has been having a lot of trouble forming phrases and texts and this kind of things (specially in english), and what she asked me to tell you is that there is not much to do about her struggles in writting. It sucks that both your hardships met and made comunication difficult, but the most you can do about it is unfollowing her, because is not really under the control of any of you. Hope you have a nice day." END ID ]
