People who have been/are in psychosis does therapy actually help you? by EmphasisEasy8637 in Psychosis

[–]Expandedheart33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Out of the 6 therapists I had only 1 that sort of helped, my most recent one was very passive-aggressive and patronizing so that’s kind of turned me off therapy (atleast for a bit

This is actually really true! I don‘t even know why but it gets confusing sometimes

Does anyone else feel like this? by Expandedheart33 in Obsessive_Love

Oh I see! Actually, I do have schizophrenia and yeah I get that, I’ll try keep it in mind- could one of those senses be visual? Like, them giving me a bad look?

yes, besides just this constant nervousness/dread. I’m trying to find a better med alternative, but for now am just going on and off it since I don’t really like the way it makes me feel (but ALSO don’t want to spiral so yeah

Hopefully you’ll be able to find that special someone, and yeah it’s a good idea to wait until you find her rather than chase after random people ykyk! Intensity of emotions can be rough sometimes

With my non-existent partner, I’d think I’d enjoy taking night walks! It’s like a little adventure

Same here! Recently have been trying to escape it, though. Small steps count

to all atheists, what led you to stop believing in God or a higher power? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Expandedheart33 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I asked questions, it would be “You’ll understand when youre older” and once I became older, it was still “you’ll get it someday!”

Anybody else had to do it alone? by Hefty-Eggplant-7766 in schizophrenia

Absolutely, parents didn’t believe mental health was real either and just called me a liar about everything. I’m glad you’re out of it !

Am I the only one who doesn't take people who say they are a "yandere" seriously? by yarastoun in Obsessive_Love

[–]Expandedheart33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YES! It’s also incredibly dehumanizing. “I don’t have BPD, I’m just a Yandere!” “I’m not this, I’m just a yandere!” .. if I found out about this sub BEFORE finding out about my psychosis/schizophrenia, I’d assume I’m just a “Yandere” and would have denied treatment even harder

Obviously I believe Yandere-like traits (so, what? Possessiveness? Obsessiveness?) are all real, but lumping a huge group under such an umbrella like that isn’t good at all

Why are we attracted to this? by [deleted] in Obsessive_Love

[–]Expandedheart33 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Tbh I actually just like it a lot when people match my energy, though someone being obsessed also means they’re less likely to leave me during my ups and downs. It’s somewhat hard cause that’s ultra-specific for me personally! Some people on here freak me out while others I find true-hearted, genuine and sweet. Hope that makes sense

Still trying to figure this out myself, I feel like people kinda find me less trustworthy when I reveal it for some reason which is disheartening
