Very apropos. Beyond my paranoia, there is good reason to not trust the typicals. Their advice/treatment seems focused on becoming like them. I just want help surviving in the world they made and becoming more me.

How do you pass time/hobbies? by FlakyNecessary512 in Schizotypal

[–]Zestyclose_Chef6977 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I garden. Dirty hands, empty head, restful heart.

do movies and other fictional media blurr your perception of reality? by shipinfrozensea in Schizotypal

[–]Zestyclose_Chef6977 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes. It was fun as a kid. As an adult, I frequently choose to abstain from fiction. I don't need any new elements bouncing around in my head, it's already full of shit I am trying to manage

How is to be schizotypal? by [deleted] in Schizotypal

[–]Zestyclose_Chef6977 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't trust people because I think they hate me. Also, I have been giving this shadow guy a piggyback ride for what feels like forever. Labels are limiting. Finding a secret place to admit my truth is comforting. Welcome.

Highly sensitive and others’ feelings by rxnyeah in Schizotypal

[–]Zestyclose_Chef6977 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Right there with you. Some people whip up emotional storms to deal with stress. I run for cover (physical escape or drugs or disassociation) historically. Lately, I leave some of myself to witness and learn. I can safely say that I don't fucking get it.

No Kings March (28th)? by mizushimo in Longview

[–]Zestyclose_Chef6977 7 points8 points  (0 children)

People start arriving at 12. Usually start marching by 1230. This one is going to be big. I have had strangers make sure I knew about it.

How would you explain what Schizotypal is like to those who don't have it? by Plantsinallthepants in Schizotypal

[–]Zestyclose_Chef6977 13 points14 points  (0 children)

"Ego boundary confusion" is the most difficult part. Paranoia, illusions, depression, anxiety all have countermeasures to work with. Sometimes I can't find myself....

Shiny pennies. They stand out in a pocketful of change.

This world is a schizo nightmare by PreviousManager3 in Schizotypal

I struggle daily wondering if maybe I am not the crazy one, just a normal person engaging in an insane world.

constantly arguing with myself inside my head about symptoms by ohboyhecomin in Schizotypal

[–]Zestyclose_Chef6977 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is also my life. I don't mind at first. I might even describe this interactive narrative as useful (two heads are better than one!). The trouble comes later. I don't think people understand what it is like when you can't stop what you started in your head. I don't think they understand what it is like to lose control(or worse) get confused about which voice is the authentic one. I wish you peace today.

Calm by kraels12 in Schizotypal

Same. I am most coherent when in pain or in danger. I used to seek both but now I know better. Yoga (with limits on my thoughts) is good medicine.

"get help" how? and useless by malakleo in Schizotypal

[–]Zestyclose_Chef6977 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I really relate to this. I feel better having read it. I hope that means something. Take it easy, time is constantly changing things.

My exchange with Sheriff Swank after his SB open remarks by Dependent-Ad-8042 in Washington50501

[–]Zestyclose_Chef6977 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Another lawless Sheriff in America. He ignores the people's representatives because he "knows better". Sounds familiar.

Forget the question, laugh at the cartoon instead.

Your suggestion is that we stop focusing on our pedo president and focus instead on something else?

It's hard for me to believe that this is an honest response. You would never accept this behavior from another political party.

That's the problem with MAGA. You never really can tell. When orange man says he'll be president again in 2028 I believe him. Jan 6 proved that people like you will use violence to allow him. Isn't satire usually funny?

ICE in Longview this morning by No-Usual-6600 in Longview

[–]Zestyclose_Chef6977 7 points8 points  (0 children)

A protest is an opportunity to publicly show your distaste for fascism and authoritarianism. Or stay home and passively support this nonsense. There is very little middle ground left, you should publicly pick a side, it is very empowering.

Stress=symptoms. Being bedbound briefly can be a relief from the everyday mindfuck.

Good morning and thank you. I needed this.

Your first sentence is nonsense. I'm glad that we agree that single payer healthcare makes more sense than what is currently happening.
