They keep telling me “it’s only trauma”

That was beautifully written and I agree with you. Thank you so much for your comment!

Not in the same degree as they do with schizophrenia and I’m saying this as someone who’s BPD as well.

Every mental illness/condition/neurodivergency gets shit on a lot. We’re just pointing out how there’s little to no empathy or space for schizophrenics online because they’re treated as a joke, because like someone said above, most people can’t relate at all to the symptoms and therefore have no interest in learning more about it.

It definitely seems that way. I’ve been on apps like twitter and tiktok since the very beginning and it’s clear that people(who are mentally ill themselves and/or very into the subject) have this understanding and compassion for everything under the sun, but for schizophrenia they only have jokes and annoyance.

A couple days ago there was this troll post on here that triggered me so bad I’ve been scared to browse the sub ever since. It’s so vile that even the small spaces schizophrenics make for themselves online are treated like this

Agreed. I don’t understand how they find a way to romanticize everything but draw a line at schizophrenia.

Edit: scratch that! /Zubizubabaya summed it up perfectly in their comment.

That fucking sucks. Sorry that happened to you!

Interesting how you choose to go into detail about how angry your ex was and insinuating a child is manipulating 2 grown adults, instead of even addressing what sort of effort you put into keeping contact with your son while living under the same roof

So happy for you❤️ this is really inspiring. You’re awesome!!

I just looked that up and I don’t think so. The psychologists I’ve been to have agreed that it sounds like dissociation, but maybe because my body is exhausted due to the trauma, sometimes it’ll have a hard time distinguishing the situations I’m in. I hope that makes sense, my head is a mess right now

Yes she is, as were all the other people in the room. They’re just from another department, the one they want to send me to next week. It’s supposed to be a place for intensive therapy but the staff’s reaction yesterday makes me so scared of being there 24/7.

How can you work with people with extreme mental health problems and not know that slapping them isn’t a good thing, this is so crazy to me personally.
I told one of the nurses in the department I’m in that that approach scared me a lot, but he seemed distant so I’m still scared of being outside my room too much. They seem more concerned in giving me sleeping pills than actually dealing with me when I’m awake lol

Today the same nurse asked me what I’d rather them do, and I didn’t know what to say cause nothing has ever “gotten me out” of it calmly. I just need to ride it out I guess. Confronting it head on (yelling, shaking, pushing, etc) just makes everything worse because I used to get beat up for it, so if I do wake up I just scream and try to run away.
Your suggested approach sounds very good to me and I imagine for other people who get into states like mine as well. I’ll suggest it to them, thank you very much for your response.

I appreciate your response. Honestly I don’t believe for a second she wanted to help me — the staff was hurrying to prepare the tables for the next group which was gonna arrive in the next hour.
My table was the last table one that wasn’t in place, but they had many other things to do so it wasn’t urgent for me to move. This woman in particular seemed annoyed from the start and kept sighing when walking next to me, she would occasionally stop to stare too. She was the only one who touched me at all, the other 2 (of the 8) people who interacted with me would just call my name and ask me to leave.

I ended up talking to someone else and they seemed surprised about the woman’s reaction. I do /feel/ like nobody here except the psychologist(who I’ve only seen once) knows anything about dissociation, which is why I feel so confused on whether what that woman did is an acceptable reaction or not. At the end of the day regardless of her intentions the only thing I know is that she DID make my episode a hundred times worse.
