exfoliator but for my brain so I can scrub out the trauma
*points at emotional baggage* i overpacked
i feel too much or nothing at all // from my journal
Would be easier if you just killed me. Rather die than live without you and pretend like none of this fucking shit hurts. And you fucking know it does
quick question: how the fuck do I get through the rest of my life like this
And it frustrates me how many assumptions and lack of information and misinformation there is out there on schizophrenia, and how not much light is being shed on trying to understand this disease at all in the slightest really in a helpful or moving forward type of way. Not even really helping families understand the illnesss schizophrenia as well as professionals and even teachers, way more people should be able to assess a mental health crisis or know how to help a mentally ill person/persons
People always are so quick to try to assume what you hear or see if you hallucinate things even the professionals also assume for themselves and they make it out that it's the worst or that's it's gonna be exclusively frightening or only very bad when this is not always 100% the case.
You can actually have good hallucinations and positive voices or supportive voices in or outside your head. You can also see or hallucinate things that you feel are comforting to you and that are helpful to you.
When I was young I used to see characters I liked in shows walking with me at school and stuff they would talk to me. I've been hearing voices for as long as I can remember but since 12 years old that's when they became the most noticeable from that point on I had assumed everyone heard voices. I was soon to discover that most people don't hear them but I still do hear them to this day.
I'm 23 years old I still hear my voices which are positive and from the particular shows I used to watch during periods of trauma, but maybe that's why they've stuck with me.
I love talking to the voices inside of my own head they often sound to me as if I have my own commentary always set on or something because they often only comment on my every move and thought and emotion or what have you
