y'all not to doxx myself too hard but irl i have spent some time in my life in mental health recovery, and i am here to tell anyone who needs to hear it that people with multiples & schizophrenia & psychosis & BPD are fun and interesting and lovable people and my friends
i knew somebody in recovery who had a system of 12 personalities that he drew out in a nested chart for me. they did not remember each other’s experiences. and it was cool! i could talk with one alter and then catch up another alter later about what we talked about! it was fun!
i knew a girl with psychosis who heard voices in static and running water but didn’t want to get rid of them cause they never said anything distressing and they were familiar and comfortable. that’s awesome! how cool is the variance of human experience??
bringing this back for disabled pride month. invisible disabilities count too. if you don’t fuck with the mad community i don’t fuck with you
I still think a lot about that one doctor who found that in other countries, people with auditory hallucinations are more likely to experience positive ones.
“Not one” American she interviewed had positive hallucinations. People from India told her theirs were often the voices of loved ones reassuring them or reminding them of things to do, while the Americans hallucinated threats and hate and the sound of torture.
Which implies that what people see and hear might also be influenced by the local stigma around it. Then again American culture is pretty much built entirely on the terror of being harmed by other people, way way more than anyone within it realizes. :(
I met a boy (ethnicity wise he was Samoan I think) who felt the voices were his ancestors warning him. That was a difficult one because he constantly felt unsafe but also felt it would be disrespectful to not listen to them.

we seriously need to stop conceding to the personhood trap when it comes to abortion rights. is a fetus a person? thats a spiritual question. i dont care about the answer. should another person dictate what someone can do with their body? simple answer: no.
like if a fetus isnt a person it has no right to my body and if a fetus IS a peson it also has no right to my body because there is no other context in which we are required to put ourselves at risk of physical harm to preserve another persons safety or even life.
you dont have to save someone from drowning even if youre a strong swimmer. even in death youre not required to donate organs and that could save several people. you can kill someone if you truly believe your safety is at risk. we dont mandate preservation of life over autonomy in any of these circumstances.
This is how I feel, as a doctor.
Like, if you need a kidney or liver, you CANNOT under any circumstances force anyone to lend you theirs. You aren’t legally allowed to steal it from them, even though they have some to spare. Even if they would be a match. Even if they are close family. Even if them choosing not to donate will actively lead to your death. Because they retain all rights over their body - even if it would tragically lead to your own demise.
You can’t even take someone’s organs after they are dead*, unless they’ve actively consented or are in an opt-out system. And even then, normally the medical team will still talk to their family to make sure it’s on board with their wishes.
So why should we have a system that makes it *impossible* for people with a uterus to opt out of a pregnancy - when we know that around 50% of these are unplanned and many are unwanted?
A foetus legally ISN’T a person, for very good reasons, but even if they were, why should they be entitled to just show up and parasitise someone else’s body and risk their life, without consent? We don’t allow that in any other context.
People with a uterus deserve the same rights to bodily autonomy that everyone else has.
*excepting the current travesty that is the US keeping a brain dead woman on life support, against her family’s wishes, to gestate a likely severely disabled child who may die after birth - whilst making her family foot the bill.

As part of her social media detox this girl on YouTube made herself do one hour of understimulating tasks every day and she just counted rice for 60 minutes straight because its no different from doomscrolling in terms of wasted time
When I say this changed my life. Every time I’m on my phone I ask myself Is this different from counting rice for one hour ? and if the answer is no I go find something else to do. It works well because it’s not about conforming to productivity standards or about moralizing digital hobbies it’s just an honest reflection on whether tomorrow I will be glad I spent my time this way and then acting accordingly. The rice paradigm

I think a lot about how we as a culture have turned “forever” into the only acceptable definition of success.
Like… if you open a coffee shop and run it for a while and it makes you happy but then stuff gets too expensive and stressful and you want to do something else so you close it, it’s a “failed” business. If you write a book or two, then decide that you don’t actually want to keep doing that, you’re a “failed” writer. If you marry someone, and that marriage is good for a while, and then stops working and you get divorced, it’s a “failed” marriage.
The only acceptable “win condition” is “you keep doing that thing forever”. A friendship that lasts for a few years but then its time is done and you move on is considered less valuable or not a “real” friendship. A hobby that you do for a while and then are done with is a “phase” - or, alternatively, a “pity” that you don’t do that thing any more. A fandom is “dying” because people have had a lot of fun with it but are now moving on to other things.
I just think that something can be good, and also end, and that thing was still good. And it’s okay to be sad that it ended, too. But the idea that anything that ends is automatically less than this hypothetical eternal state of success… I don’t think that’s doing us any good at all.

“what radicalized you” bro EMPATHY
#correction: compassion #empathy is a feeling and not something you can control. it’s morally neutral. some people can’t feel it #due to disability or otherwise. COMPASSION; however; is a muscle anyone can train. it requires intellect #and a heart; not ‘putting yourself in someone’s shoes’; but believing that they deserve dignity; freedom and rights because they’re HUMAN #sorry for being pedantic about this. it’s the autism. (via @dandelionjack)
It’s also a better mindset to have because empathy is viewed as something inherent you’re born with (with the implication that it makes you a naturally superior human being to those who lack it), while compassion is something you can work on.
It’s never good to have a “some of us are just born better people and we don’t even have to try to be good, that’s how good we are” mentality. A lot of harm happens because people think like that.
It’s Übermensch nonsense. But compassion as a skill and a muscle you can train is hopeful and, well, compassionate. It doesn’t put some people above others , it doesn’t dehumanize anyone and it motivates you to keep learning and striving to be better and examine the ways in which you might be capable of or actively doing harm.
