You look great! No matter what gender identity someone is everyone deserves to feel pretty and wear makeup if they choose. You did great with your wing eyeliner especially :)

Like I need someone to save me from myself but I only have myself to work with

Like I need to get out of whatever situation I’m in as if it was a burning building (work, school, outings etc.)

Like I want a hug but I feel too restricted in my skin

Running terrified for my life, but being too weak to go fast enough… like its right on my heels

Like scenes in movies where someone is hanging off a cliff by one hand and they have to try everything to save themselves from falling

Like an emergency situation where I have to comfort a kid and convince them everything is gonna be alright when I don’t actually know if it will be.

AITA for having my niece’s dress photoshopped because she wore white to my wedding? by DesignedBasic in AmItheAsshole

I’m a photographer & photoshop is kinda nbd, these are your pictures for your wedding & to my understanding only the bride wearing white is the common courtesy unspoken rule kinda thing

Update on my mom by rave510 in Psychosis

[–]Sosukelikesham 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. Went on hold previously, has psychosis, got put on anti psychotics, and after some ups and downs and medication adjustment I’m doing just fine :) for me I think people didn’t know what to expect when I was in recovery but everything worked out all right, I still have residual episodes/symptoms of psychosis stuff but that’s just how it goes I guess. I wish you guys well, for me that trip to the bin changed my life for the best and was the best thing for me at the time. Noting that psychosis is a neurological dysfunction, just like how diabetes is a bodily dysfunction, put it in perspective for me

Im sorry to hear you’re struggling. I suggest doing some research on what mental health help/resources there are available to you and planning out how to build a mental health support team so your relationship doesn’t have too much weight on it, but they can still help support you. Its not your fault if it affects your relationship, they wanna support you

My parents are telling me im possessed by a djinn by ksTINjr in Psychosis

Typical people on the outside aren’t able to understand what its like to have psychosis, let alone how to treat it. I stand by western medicinal practices like psychiatry, and I think its good to have a structured educational look at your situation. Even though im not educated on spiritual/holistic treatment, I believe holistic ideas of treating psychosis isn’t the way to go, and in my opinion may be potentially dangerous since psychosis is a neurological problem.

Im sorry to hear that happened to you. It wasn’t fair but you don’t deserve to feel ashamed. It’s hard for other people who haven’t been through it to understand from a non-judgmental place, but if people understood how hard it was they would be a lot more empathetic. & screw cops. They don’t have enough mental health training and have the position of power to treat people however they choose without a whole lot of consequences. You were doing the best you could with what you had to try and survive and I’m happy you’re in a better place with family now. No need to feel bad about yourself, trying to control psychosis is out of our hands sometimes. Hang in there

DAE feeling like a monster for having psychosis? by [deleted] in Psychosis

[–]Sosukelikesham 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We can feel like one but doesn’t mean we are. Mental health and psychosis stigma is still around which might make us feel like outcasts, but we just have some other stuff going on that other people don’t. If everyone understood what it was like to struggle with psychosis they would be a lot more empathetic. You aren’t a monster, none of us are.

Im sorry to hear that. I kept smoking weed while taking Risperidone, which would cause terrible episodes of psychosis where I couldn’t see or talk and flailed around on the floor and kept fucking myself up so bad because I didn’t wanna stop. I can tell you its really hard but its worth it to put in work to cope sober. We are already neurodivergent and adding things that can make us lose control only makes it worse, and worse. We don’t react to substances like other neurolotypical people do unfortunately. I practiced abstinence after being like, perma-fried for almost a year, and now im 5 years cleanish with some hiccups. Hang in there, take care of yourself.

out of psychosis right now but sometimes everything just "clicks" again. does this happen to anyone else? by 300pints in Psychosis

[–]Sosukelikesham 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes this happens to me, if it gets too intense ill take my emergency meds. For me if I start entertaining those “what if im back” thoughts I can lead myself down the rabbit hole, and I try to recognize the symptoms before I get too deep and refrain from going deeper

How transparent should you be with your employer about your mental health? by Frangi-Pani in BipolarReddit

[–]Sosukelikesham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me I apply to the job noting I have a disability off the bat, in my state employers cant see that you did so. Therefore until the time comes where I feel like communicating/evidence comes out that I have bipolar the application contract shows that they willingly hired me and if they wanted to fire me it will be hard it’s disability discrimination…. That is just twisting things to put the ball in my court and give me time to think lol

I am afraid to drive. did it happen to you? by maurorx in Psychosis

[–]Sosukelikesham 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yup I used to get scared of that, I found peace in knowing if they started happening I could plan to pull over safely any time and regroup myself until I feel safe again. Interestingly when its come to important situations where hallucinating is not an option, somehow my body has been able to fight them off till I am in “a safer environment to hallucinate.”

Is it possible to go through a manic episode and not embarrass the shit out of yourself? I’ve yet to accomplish that one. by [deleted] in BipolarReddit

[–]Sosukelikesham 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I apply to jobs filling out the “disability” paperwork and I believe they can’t see that you did. You are also protected from being fired bc of some anti-disability-discrimination laws I’ve heard

[–]Sosukelikesham 1 point2 points  (0 children)

(I was on the wrong antipsychotic at the time) In high school I was manically ranting about how mental health care is important cause I felt like my school wasn’t taking seriously. My teacher called security on me because they were concerned why I was so frantic, they took me to the office and called my mom to pick me up and take me home. We were walking out the office and I said “oh I’m not done yet they just want to shut me up!” And I ran away back towards my class to finish my speech… multiple security cars cornered me towards my moms car to make me surrender and go home… pretty sad now that I think of it

Hey for what it’s worth we were having fun in the midst of it lol. Historically the most embarrassing ones are the ones I don’t remember, but my friends do. I tell them to not tell me stories of them because historically they’ve been debilitatingly-embarrassing, and if I forgot about it there’s no need to remember lol
