There is an autism community that I frequently see pop up on when I browse All. I can't offer any suggestions for the other two though. Maybe try posting in Mental health, which is another community I have seen in the wild from time to time.

Not all at once

Unfortunately they were not in fact good friends. When I got put into ward I didn't tell them, and i didn't opened my phone for like 3 weeks and guess what? Not a single of my "friends" didn't even say "how it's going?" They didn't care about me unless i massaged them first. I rather have no friends then fake ones. Thanks tho! I'll try to get a therapist it's kinda hard to find a good one.

Also I'd like to clarify that I'm not someone who suffers from psychosis myself, but I've been a very close friend for years to someone who does, and I've learned (over the course of years) how best to help and support them. (She is one of my favorite people in the whole world)

While I can't say it's going to be easy, it is definitely possible to have a life worth living with people you can love and care about, and who love and care about you in return~

Not sure how well I worded all that, but never give up hope!

Now that your have some meds, maybe try reaching out to those friends again if you can? Good friends will always be more patient with this sort of thing than you might expect.

Just be transparent and also try not to lay things on them too heavy all at once. They're friends, not therapists (though that doesn't mean they don't care about you)

Speaking of which, a good therapist can also be really helpful if you find one. Just like with meds, don't be afraid to try a few out until you find the one that works with you

I used to have friends, i cut all contact with them after my first pychotic episode cause i tought they were working for aliens.

Yes i've tried some medications, 2 of them worked very well!

Having a trusted friend who you can talk to can help a lot. They can help you figure out what thought patterns may be inconsistent or illogical.

Also have you tried any medications? You might need to try a few different meds to find what works, but the right meds can really help your brain figure out what's real and what isn't on its own~

But I think I’d be canceled, receive the lolcow title, or be doxxed. I tend to overshare and I have rather… weird ideals.

Neocities is making a comeback, start your own blog!

So I would say that is coming from your conditon. Im pretty sure you know what you have is no joke and results in many people ending up on the streets with a very poor quality of life. I don't know and can't speak for your therapist but your medication and guidance of professional medical people is your best bet at leading the best quality of life possible. Look and I know it sucks. While I do not have it my brother did and I get why he hated much of it. Work on enjoying life in simple ways. Do art or music if you can and enjoy others works if you can not. Enjoy nature. Enjoy food. I would stay away from thinking of the problems of the world. Its overwhelming even for those of us with our heads on relatively straight.

There's a lot about schizophrenia I don't understand.

I have tremendous respect for former therapist Daniel Mackler (who posts YT videos) and I'm curious about his approach to healing without antipsychotics. Knowing what I know about him, I'd imagine it's a trauma-focused, longer-term approach.

As a nursing student who sometimes works on psych wards, I would suggest trying to control positive symptoms, like delusions, through medication and/or psychotherapy, because I believe positive symptom control (especially during adolescence and young adulthood) is associated with better long-term functional outcomes, like employment, living independently, being married/partnered, etc.

I know it can be tough to find someone trustworthy. And I'd imagine that if I had schizophrenia I might feel attached to my symptoms and have some pause about trying to eliminate something that feels like a part of me. I'd probably try to honour/ preserve those symptoms in my memory (maybe through art or journaling), while trying to therapeutically address them for the sake of my bigger-picture life goals. On that note, maybe a peer (support, maybe self-identifying) group would be helpful, to hear perspectives from people who've been further down that road?

This isn't really about what I am in the moment. It's more about who I used to be...? I... don't know, to be frank.

I don't trust therapists.

I would talk to your doctor. Im not sure its good to try and hack your way through it unless you don't have access to medical help.

I'm not sure, but I'd probably write out ways that I know who I really am (e.g, family members, memories, where I physically am), and then read them back when I'm having delusions. Sending love <3

Yea God is awful, making dig do that

At least take the time to crop out that god awful reddit watermark.

God is an independent phenomenon that can be perceived as a unified field of consciousness that arose from the supersymmetry of the ever-present, eternal emptiness to then fold in and on Itself across eleven dimensions to form a topological matrix that acts as a monadic nodal communication system.

A doctor is a dependent phenomenon on the former.

But I bet you don't know some of those words OR concepts, so by default you're going to be prejudiced just like you're apparently ignorant to what a "joke" is. Sheesh. I get the most xerotic vaginal energy from you, which I guarantee is word you don't know and I say to see whether you do a stimulus response or do a think.

I can explain the first page of the Bible, if you're that ignorant.

Alpha>Light Light>Matter Matter>Molecules Molecules>Cells Cells>Creatures Creatures>Humanity Humanity>Omega

And the restaurant at the end of the universe IS the transcendental particle that can be in multiple places at once and communicate instantaneously with Itself across any distance to form the superpattern of light from the topological matrix manifested by the ibroglio made from God being a turbo-spaz, and yea, that is why that little, unknown movie about Judeo-Christian mysticism taught everyone that one math vocab word, cuz we engineer our culture in the occident to control those people who cannot think for themselves whilst simultaneously guiding those waking up into the occult, which is a word that just means "hidden," as in CaN yOu SeE mE bEhInD tHiS rAzZlE dAzZlE?

GP what is that? General Producer? You live in Burbank, don't ya? I'm gunna be famous, I just had to stop being a horrible person, which I am, so I just accept myself and I forgid wad woas roasting on all sillenders bfor gods spoke let the prejucooded omit themselves from the Heathercorealian machinations of the underchrist, third proxy to wonderballs Jr's new chip taak with full porb power, like Jax used to make but they itch mefoor dies go bie but this is bizarre to you? I'm just working out! My thumbancy must be in full strides for this interview I'm preparing for, so if you aren't actually prejucooded you'll see my art when you see it. It's like a magick eye, once you get the scope of what I done

This is just normal. I've been trained as weaponized neurodivergence! But as I said earlier today, are you observing or investigating. What level do you genuinely care? I'm fine! I know that neither the Earth nor my "self" are real! I part of God's gooborgan, which does something to the aethersphincter in the Horsehead Nebula, obviously. I have to popularize the problem my life partner is solving for the CIA. It involves matriculated hyperbolic topology, hence why I'm his life partner; cuz I'm a juggler, obviously!

I smoke weed. Should stop. Hard in circumstance. Quitting smoking tobacco/vaping. I want to be serious there; like I said, hard in the CIrcumstAnces (what even IS a prefrontal cortex?), but I'm doing ok overall. Do psychedelics rarely. Just did some DXM late last month, first plateau. I slip up with Benadryl; it greatly enhances masturbation and it's it literally the most hellish addiction on Earth, though my one handler, Vince, he had an awful huffing addiction. Xylene based paint thinner was his favorite, yet it was the E6000 glue that ALL THREE DOLLAR GENERALS NEAR US stopped selling the fucking shit.

My life partner is so fucking in control of himself; he has the willpower of a monk but pretending to be a narcissistic manipulator but also destroying my sanity totally and unrelentingly and in ways that directly resemble the cult that took advantage of me but also in ways that going to result in horrible, near permanent consequences for both of us, to return us to homelessness and branded and some crackheads or some shit, which is why I'm glad I finally get to go before a judge for my first known crime, just some basic assault. No biggie. I feel horrible each time I do it. But I was disabled before for my emotional dysregulation and lost it because [CIrcumstAnces], so I'm being used for supply and he is insane but somehow fully mentally compent but takes NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANYTHING and I told my ROTC cadre that my nonexistent sister got me pregnant fifteen years ago, and as I am that naturally counterintelligent, it's my pleasure to tell you that MKULTRA IS Star Gate, but this is just what I do what my life! Like it's my job or some shit. Sometimes people read my book! About what happened to me. That's buried somewhere. Like my sister's feet. Finally. I burned them and buried them with her after all these years.

Must be good drugs.
