i want to put the time system that I wrote for my world because I really like it.
The humans of the world center their dating system around the day that Atron Ojan won the war against the elves, uniting most of humanity with him into the 'Ojalana Empire'. They put the founding of the Ojalana Empire as the first day of year zero.
They mostly break down the years into 4 seasons based on the periodic rising and falling of the Xultan (ecks-ul-tan)
Seasons are not equal in time, the stable levels last longer than the periods of rising and falling
(Agorophillic) marked when the Xultan river starts to rise from its lowest level to its highest. It is characterized by colder temperatures and strong winds that could bring storms. Lasts for 3 months this is also when the Mer have their annual migration from the Cristlyn ocean to the Honist ocean
(Agorosill) marked when the river stabilizes at it’s high level, lasts for 6 months, cold dry weather marks this time
(Deciphillic) marked by the river starting to fall from its highest point to its lowest point. Very rainy with windy days and warm weather. Lasts for 3 months this is when the mer migrate back to the Cristlyn ocean
(Decisill) low stability/ marked by the river stabilizing at its low points. Warm, slightly humid weather with light rains. Lasts for 6 months.
1 month is 64 days.
There are 18 months in one calendar year:

I hope you enjoy recording music, and working on self-improvement because we are getting this to 2k!
ok everyone seems to be doing this and maybe i'm just a loser (yes i am a loser i'm sorry everyone) but if this post gets 1k notes i will:
work out how to record my music and actually properly publish it
stop going on my phone for so long after school
if it gets 2k notes i will:
actually dedicate myself to learning russian
start writing my book properly (as in no more chaotically deleting all my work, i will start being less self-conscious, be less of a perfectionist, and less comparing myself to others)
this is not happening. no way.

So, I read this and went down a bit of a research rabbit hole, and these are the articles that I thought would be the most helpful/ interesting/ compelling.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6526283/ This is an academic article from the NIH that's more about SZPD in general and is what I started with.
I looked into @i-am-a-dragon-dragon suggestion of Esme Wijun Wang's book The Collected Schizophrenias, and while I couldn't find a (legal) place to download it for free, I did find this interview that Esme did with PBS about her history with her diagnosis.
I found this book Self Study: Notes on the Schizoid Condition, and this website has a link to a free pdf https://press.ici-berlin.org/doi/10.37050/hs-01/index.html
This old NYTimes article is more of an overview/case study about a man with an unspecified Schizoid disorder. I found it really compelling because it does have a happy ending so to speak
https://www.brightquest.com/schizoid-personality-disorder/caring-for-someone-with-schizoid-personality-disorder/ This is more of an outsiders manual for helping people live with SZPD, and giving some overview for therapy options.
If you want more reading, I recommend going to the References section of the Wiki article on Schizoid Personality Disorder. There are a lot of links there and while they are very high-brow academically written, they are very thorough.
I hope this helps! good luck.
I know this is something of a long shot, but I feel like of all the Tumblr users I know of, you’re the most likely to have an answer.
Recently, I was diagnosed with szpd (Schizoid Personality Disorder), which explains a decent chunk of my life struggles.
Do you have any stories, advice, or resources that you can share with me?
I actually know very little about SZPD or related disorders, so I'm going to turn this out to the floor to see if someone has recommended reading for both of us.
