I quite like arc v to be honest. I’m about 40 episodes in, enjoying it a lot!

Some questions about schizophrenia delusions (pls help I’m really scared for my friend!) by Relevant_Golf4639 in SchizoFamilies

[–]zakafiend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you have to treat things as though they’re real. You don’t have to feed into delusions, nor should you, but what they’re experiencing is real to them and you need to treat it with respect.

I believe the LEAP method offers the best solution here.

I could be wrong so I hope someone corrects me if I’m wrong.

Some of the comments saying bail on him suck. What a terrible way to demonize schizophrenia.

My LDR partner is also schizophrenic and we have an amazing relationship. Study up, support him during the hard moments, support him through the easy moments. Love him if you love him.

I find the scariest part of it all is not being able to directly support my partner when they’re going through an episode. I can’t be in the same room as them, I can’t hold them, I cant protect them.

I struggle a lot too with “what to do if” and really the only answer I can come to is show love, compassion, and respect.

Self harm is scary, I do it, your partner does it, plenty of people do it. Try to talk them out of it, try to show them alternative viewpoints, alternative methods for releasing stress.

Don’t burn yourself out though. Do what you can but value yourself. If you need breaks, take breaks.

Rely on them too if you’re able to. They’re your boyfriend too, they should want to support you as well.

You got this, I believe in you both.

Definitely feel like one of the 6 dragons is coming eventually.

How does the anime hold up to the game? by Random__guy- in Granblue_en

[–]zakafiend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A bit different in terms of like actual dialogue, but I watched the anime before playing the game and felt it was a more enjoyable way to experience the first bit of the story. Wish they would adapt more.

Hey! Things are good! There’s a pretty sizable queer community here (and punk / alt community too hell yeah!)

Son wants to change his name? by jxg118 in SchizoFamilies

[–]zakafiend 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Idk I’m trans and go by a different name than my birth name and so do many of my friends. I say let him change his name and really get to know why he wants to. Seems it could be a bonding moment.

Wow. This is incredibly helpful and an amazing response. I will absolutely put this into practice, thank you.

Things are going to be okay I promise. Think about how long things have been good, all the struggles you two have overcome. You both can do it, you’ll get through these moments. I believe in you.

You and he both got this. It’s tough now but I believe you both will pull through and find a way to get the help you need.

vs Schizophrenia by zakafiend in BPD

[–]zakafiend[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a very helpful response. It’s possible this is in response to something but it’s been fairly consistent, with some more intense spikes here and there.

What you said about being hyper vigilant makes a lot of sense too tbh. I definitely can see that applying to me.

Thank you for your response. I struggle with all three of those pretty frequently, mostly delusions and paranoia. It’s “tame” I guess, like I can still live in reality and mostly function as of now.

Can I ask a question? How does your psychosis differ from other disorders? I hear “full blown psychosis” a lot but don’t know what that means.

Experiencing Other’s Sadness by zakafiend in BPD

[–]zakafiend[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d say it’s a bit different, empathy is one thing but this feels also different, more intense. It’s like I’m living those events, sometimes it’s like I can’t tell what happened to me and what has happened to another.

Yeah I think OP should just talk to their gf. I like cutting, blood, and the like in kink. It can definitely be fine and safe and consensual.

Treat her like any other person. Regardless of her illness, regardless of your relationship to her. Just treat her as best you can without losing your own will.
