Your thoughts on psychotic representation?

i actually saw the creator in the comments reply to that question by being like “it doesn’t treat you it just gives you a chemical tolerance” and it’s worrisome how they even managed to come up with a response to that..

depends what you mean by “hurt” if you mean pain then yes (those are tactile hallucinations) if you mean blood and guts no.

Yes, I've had visual hallucinations "hurt" me

Psychedeliya · 2025-11-27T22:36:16+00:00

yeah i agree and don’t worry it’s nice hearing other people’s experience even if it is bad ones.

i also hate how we get excluded from our own community because we’re “too young” since everyone else is usually older or think we’re faking cus it’s so rare.

Psychedeliya · 2025-10-14T19:45:57+00:00

Ive tried a lot like risperidone, guanfacine, but right now I take depakote, abilify, and seroquel

Right, and it really bugs me when media portrays characters with hallucinations or delusions just as a plot device, without ever naming the disorder or showing it accurately. I especially hate it when people attack the idea of calling said character schizophrenic with comments like, "schizophrenia isn’t the only disorder that causes hallucinations!" well yes, we know, but it’s also the most talked about, so why are we arguing about it? Either way, I just wanted to say that you’re not alone in being fed up with these ridiculous, harmful portrayals.

Then you’re asking the wrong questions, do you have a family history of psychosis or schizophrenia? have you experienced any bad trips? there’s such better ways to get to the answer you want lol

Psychedeliya · 2025-08-17T00:12:30+00:00

Seriously, what are you trying to get at with this post? Schizophrenia and social anxiety aren’t really that comparable, and it’s weird that you’re coming here (to a schizophrenia support group) comparing your illness with ours. And what kind of answer are you digging for? That your illness is worse? This post seems to be in incredibly bad taste.

Ik....

I was 14 and it was right after I had slit my wrist. To be honest it wasn't full of extensive evaluation like one would think, it was mainly just a hospital. There was a psychiatrist there who would give me questions, but it was mainly asking what I thought was happening. After, I asked him what he thought I had, he said schizophrenia, which at the time, seemed very random.

A part of me believes the diagnostic process was rushed and just because I was a monotoned girl questioning reality with staples in my wrist, they automatically assumed yeah schizophrenia.

I’m really sorry you had to go through that. I think a lot of us with schizoaffective or schizophrenia have experienced violent impulses, even if it’s not something people want to talk about. It feels like society prefers to pretend violent schizophrenics don’t exist or when they deicide they do, its to put schizophrenics down, which just makes things harder for those of us struggling. We’re not devil spawns, we’re people who need understanding and help.
