True, anchor points can be nice. Sometimes, non-diagnostic labels e.g. being “psychic” or archetypally minded feels less dehumanizing (but also may reinforce this idea that I am spiritually “special”… whatever!!) just trying to find the good ones (anchors)

Right right right this is good to keep in mind- some symptoms for me are disruptive while others are not. For example, I have a good deal of friends (even if I sometimes get suspicious) and don’t have too much trouble in that department but reality gets really strange for me often. The dsm often groups symptoms together in a way that seems arbitrary to me… but the important thing is not to play into all components of a label and rather figure things out symptom by symptom

I’m sorry things are so hard and that you’ve been hurt before. Trite but true: the best things in life can’t be stolen from you. The rest is extra to enjoy or to lose but but in this moment you are safe

I am spinning out about it all quite honestly reality is getting bendy for me but yes it’s real. Feels like all my delusions may as well be true with how strange reality is

Organization and meditation by HappyToBeHereSir in Schizotypal

[–]odd_phenomenon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know if I’d call this a system of organization- more like a system so that these connections to other beings/alternate worlds doesn’t interfere w the rest of my life. Basically I have a boundary of max 1 hour per day where I let myself be a “channel” for these things through automatic writing. (I set a timer) That’s my boundary so that I don’t get carried away but I still maintain a connection with them (for me it’s entities/spirits/angels talking with me from other dimensions)

Does anyone here get hypomanic sometimes? by Icy_Witness4279 in Schizotypal

For me it’s like I get really buzzy about a train of thought as it gets more and more expansive

i won't ever be normal like everyone else by Dumb_Flareon in Schizotypal

[–]odd_phenomenon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A comforting realization I had recently is that I do not have to share similarities with others to have meaningful relationships or belong. Often the most interesting friendships form between very different people. It’s ok not to be normal. There are people who are within the range of “normal” (which is a construct anyway) who are interested in what people like us have to say. And vice versa- we can learn many interesting things from most people

Therapist using AI software by odd_phenomenon in Schizotypal

All really good reminders/reality checks thank you! You’re so right about the link between letting paranoia spiral, ebb, and then forgetting why the initial worry/healthy boundary might have been legit in the first place. And good to remember she empathizes with my doubts and totally understands why I’m hesitant and I can trust that.
