Wg. starego pomysłu mojego ziomka.
Swoją drogą, jest to nawiązanie do mojej śp. projektu komiksowego, który prowadziłam przez 11 lat. Nie, nikt z was nigdy o nim nie słyszał. :3

CW: Meds, Mental Illness, positive
Lamotrigine saved me from the rapid cycling bipolar symptoms I was experiencing from my schizoaffective disorder. It just deleted the symptoms. Its been over a year now that I've been relieved.

CW: MH, informational? Imposter Syndrome
I've had imposter syndrom specific to my various diagnoses bad for about the past year (not related to other longer running imposter syndromes) or more. I've worried that I would have been found not mentally ill enough to get on disability because I've been pretty stable.
Being stable doesn't mean no symptoms though, they have just been more manageable. For example I haven't been having hallucinations or delusions, symptoms of schizoaffective, but have had other schizoaffective symptoms like severe lack of motivation, emotional blunting, inability to experience pleasure from activities I once enjoyed, and asociality. There's also severe cognitive issues I experience like issues with executive function and working memory which are permanent. The asociality has probably contributed to my lack of presence here on mastodon.
Fortunately I'm on a med that is really good at repressing the bipolar symptoms of schizoaffective, but... That also contributes to imposter syndrome.
Anyways, I worried that because I'm not currently experiencing delusions or hallucinations I would be denied disability. Its a pretty silly worry tho, because I have other symptoms. But this doesn't determine whether or not I have imposter syndrome.
My hope is now that I'm finally getting on disability my imposter syndrome will fade at least some.

These are the diagnosese listed off for consideration to determine my disability:
Schizoaffective disorder
Autism
PTSD
ADHD
Anxiety disorder
Borderline personality disorder
Alcohol use disorder ("in remission")
Gender dysphoriaWhen they make the consideration they take the totality of all relevant diagnosese, not just the primary one. It's incredible that I even had to appeal, that they originally denied me having disability. This shit is disabling. Schizoaffective is also a 2 for 1, being symptoms of schizophrenia and bipolar wrapped up in one nice little package.

Judge ruled in my favor, I won my SSDI hearing for disability!
It was a very quick hearing, the psychiatric specialist played immense role, i didnt have to answer any questions.

Have been having tremors from my antipsychotic med, so now im trying out a new Rx of propranolol which i guess is a beta blocker and seems pretty benign.
I probably could skip taking the propranolol because the tremors dont often bug me. Mostly its people noticing and bringing it up to me out of concern. The tremors are only a problem sometimes (its inconsistent) doing fine motor activities. Lol, you should see me trying to eat soup!
I could also try a smaller dose of olanzapine but I dont want to mess with a good thing--have been riding pretty stable for a while now and have already lowered the dosage once recently. Id rather have tremors than psychosis.
Until this last adjustment i have been prescribed 5 mg over the fda recommended max dose, so now im down to 20 mg. Anyways, I plan on giving this new med a shot.

Is AI just a "slot machine" for random content, or is it a digital prosthetic for the neurodivergent mind? My latest essay explores how I use AI as a shield to protect my dignity and survive in a world not built for me.

I haven't had to use my rescue med, resperidone, for psychosis in 7 months.
Before my last med change I was having to take it every 1 to 3 weeks. That was when I was on seroquel for my primary antipsychotic. Now I'm on olanzipine for my primary and it works well for me, even though it's a high dosage. I still take seroquel but at a very low dosage as needed for anxiety.
I do experience fatigue, as a side effect I believe, but it is worth it when weighing against the benefits. I also have a lot of apathy and some cognitive difficulties, and lack of motivation, but these are not necessarily side effects, just shit i have to deal with because of schizoaffective disorder. The lack of motivation is probably why I haven't been posting on mastodon.

A story of a woman who didn't know her brother was schizophrenic until he was an adult.
Do we, as a society, stigmatize others by using DSM-V mental diagnoses words as a replacement phrase for "mentally ill", or even worse, "crazy" or "insane"?
What if it were you or in your family?

I baked bread, did dishes and did laundry.
Why can't I allow myself to do something fun...

I hate feeling like I've failed before I even give myself a chance to get started...

Why does it seem like no one is real? 😞

I want to do something but my brain says it's too late to do anything because it's stupid.

I'm deleting a lot of toots before they get sent tonight. Either I think it's too stupid/not worth mentioning/pointless or stuff that I know will make me sound crazy.

We really need to stop calling obvious schizophrenia, manic delusions, and psychosis ‘unverified personal gnosis.’ A person whom I knew 15 years ago has persistent beliefs, regardless of facts, that they knew me in a past life and we made some pact to alter the future to save the world from Nazis. It’s insane, but everyone in the occult Discord is nodding their heads and validating it.
A delusion is a persistent belief regardless of facts. This person has dreams and hallucinations that they believe are gods, spirits, and telepathy. In these hallucinations and delusions, the spirits tell them who random strangers were in a past life. A lot of these delusions are obviously paranoid and inevitably roll into a conspiracy theory about Nazis. This is very terrifying. This means, based on a random occurrence with a person, they will create a parasocial narrative that manifests as them knowing this person.
Most schizophrenia delusions emerge from noise and thus have no actual information. You can uncover that it is a delusion by asking the person for details. For example, if they make a claim about remembering a past life in Egypt, you can do the equivalent of asking them who the President of the United States is now. I did that with this person. They were claiming to have known me and other people in a past life in Egypt 3000 years ago, so I looked up what was going on around that time. I asked them who the high priest was, who the pharaoh was, and what they remember happening around that time. All of it was wrong.
That caused most of that Discord to jump all over me and imply that it was fine because it was their personal gnosis. To be clear, this person is creating parasocial relationships and narratives based on delusional narratives that they are applying to random people they meet.
Phrasing things as they happened in a different reality or a past life is a way to avoid the falsification of and is a way to rationalize the delusion. Claiming that you knew a person in a past life is a way to justify the parasocial relationship. It is not unverified personal gnosis. It’s mental illness. There is nothing magical about mental illness. If I had a nickel for every time a schizophrenic occultist spun up a delusional narrative to justify an adversarial parasocial relationship with me, I’d be rich. This is a major problem.
