I've been through something similar but without the "gooey-eyed romance/infatuation" aspect of this story. It terrified me that someone could read my mind, I felt as if I was under surveillance. It then ended up that several people could read my mind, terrifying as hell.
If you go into a relationship with someone you know has a serious, lifelong mental illness and aren't put off that they have a serious, lifelong mental illness and you're loyal to them then you're truly rare and I commend you. Thank you. โค๏ธ

So devastating when certain members LGBTQ+ community cause division in it when they should know how it feels to be singled out and excluded. It disgusts me.
It's so weird that it's easier to talk about things like mental illness on social media than it is in real life. Especially all the "ugly" bits. If that makes any sense?

Mental illness not only affects your mind but also drains you physically. The toll it takes on your body makes it incredibly challenging to function in daily life. Although it may appear as laziness, it's anything but that; it is in fact a debilitating exhaustion.
I think it's unfair to completely dismiss BPD as a genuine mental illness. Many people identify with the diagnosis after understanding it better. What I believe needs to change is how BPD and its sufferers are treated by mental health professionals and the stigma surrounding it.
#Psychosis
is discovering the world as you know it has been nothing but a lie; your fears are invalid; you've been crying out at something that's been created in your subconscious by you and still, you don't believe all of this to be the case at all.
Mentally ill people aren't a different breed. Treat us like you treat everyone else. Our illness doesn't define us, much like a diabetic isn't defined by diabetes.
๐ฏ๏ธEverything always works out for us. Everything will continue to work out for us. Everything is going to work in our favour. Everything is going to be okay. ๐ฏ๏ธ
People who use "mentally ill" as a throwaway phrase are doing so much harm, they're trivialising the experiences of those of us with genuine mental illness and that's one of the reasons why we're not taken seriously. The same applies for "delulu" and "menty b's"
You know you have a healthy relationship with someone when you can both just โจbeโจ in the same room, without talking to each other and still understand one another in the silence.

Anyone that is making jokes about this or saying it's karma must be absolutely sick in the head. Put aside your feelings for monarchy; a woman has cancer for fucks sake. She's a human being at the end of the day.
Kate Middleton announces sheโs been diagnosed with cancer:
โIn January, I underwent major abdominal surgery in London and at the time, it was thought that my condition was non-cancerous. The surgery was successful.ย However, tests after the operation found cancer had beenโฆ
Do you ever ask about what you did in psychosis, particularly the bits you weren't aware of? Although it's a difficult conversation to have, I think it's very necessary to ask questions to understand more.

I was crying in Asda in full view of people and not one person acknowledged that I was there and that I was upset. It's not that I wanted anyone to pay attention but it's disheartening that no one really cared.
My mums' friend died at the age of 46 of cancer today, something that could have been prevented if the healthcare system didn't focus all its attention solely on covid. A lot of people have been neglected by the system because of this pandemic and it's so, so heartbreaking.
People who use "schizophrenic" as a synonym for "split" or "double" annoy the hell out of me. It's not a descriptive word except when it comes to explaining a set of symptoms associated with schizophrenia. A person living a double life is NOT living a schizophrenic life. ๐๐
Being alive at the end of the year if you have mental health problems/illnesses with suicidality isn't something to celebrate. Suicidal thoughts aren't a game level that you beat; it's chronic and lauding it insinuates the ones who've lost their lives to suicide have failed.
Psych meds aren't a cure all. You can definitely relapse while being compliant with meds and treatment. Please don't assume that someone must have not taken their medication when they show signs of or are in the grips of a relapse. It's ignorant and unhelpful.
I despise how some people trivialise mental illness and use it as an adjective or a buzz word; no, that scene on your favourite show isn't making you mentally ill or giving you a mental breakdown - please stop saying that, it erases genuine experiences of mental illness.
Psychosis is not the only component of illnesses on the schizo-spectrum. Just because someone experiences psychosis doesn't mean they're schizophrenic as it also occurs or can occur in depression, bipolar and BPD.
How many of you with psychosis were serial daydreamers at school, starting from year one? I was always stuck in my own world, through hindsight I know it was a way to protect myself or my body and mind to protect me.

If you have a loved one with mental health issues then, please don't give up on them because that'll make them give up on themselves. I understand it's hard but it's better to lighten the load than for them to carry it on their own.
Christmas Day is a very challenging time of year for those of us with mental illness so please take it easy, go easy on yourself and don't force yourself to do something that's beyond your capacity. You're not going to ruin the day by prioritising your mental health.
Have you ever just sat there, proud of yourself for doing well mentally; you're all calm and collected and then out of nowhere, a voice attacks your ears and now you're not so calm and collected?

I don't understand people who โจwantโจ to be mentally ill. If you want it and it was possible for me to just hand it over like a trophy then I'd do it in a heartbeat. But it's not that simple and it isn't something to be won or to be glorified over.
White people will never know how it feels to be singled out because of the colour of their skin, to be made to feel like criminals just because they aren't white, because a crime that a person of colour commits is seen as worse than if a white person committed that same crime.
I'm so grateful to be South Asian. The ingredients we use in our cooking have the power to heal all sorts of ailments. My headache has completely vanished.
Sorry if I haven't been responding to some messages I've received recently. I've been pretty unwell physically, and that has hugely affected my mental health as well. Thanks for understanding! โค๏ธ
I just had a very vivid dream where someone threw a brick at my head, and I collapsed. I can still recall the pain I felt... Does anyone else experience all of the senses during dreaming?
Isn't it strange that psychosis can make you feel ashamed about hearing voices and the other symptoms of psychosis when really there's nothing to be ashamed of because the fact is that your brain is just poorly?
It's so easy to type "I love you" to friends on the internet but it's not something I type unless I mean it with my whole heart and soul. It's not something I ever say lightly. ๐
