Hahahah, I almost forgot to post this.

Chara loves snow, so when she found herself in Snowdin... Well, she was very excited, to say the least.

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays!

I’ve seen a lot of posts on my dash tonight about users who are threatening suicide, with other Tumblr members posting in effort to try to get ahold of them. I think you all should see this:

IF THERE IS EVER A TUMBLR USER WHO HAS POSTED A GOOD-BYE MESSAGE, SUICIDE NOTE, VIDEO, OR ANYTHING OF THE SORT, PLEASE FOLLOW THIS POST.

1. Scroll to the top of your dashboard.

2. See the circular question mark icon at the top? It’s the third one over from your home symbol. Click on that, and a screen similar to the one in the picture will come up.

3. Where you can type in questions, the box with the magnifying glass at the top, type in the word “suicide.”

4. Click on the first link that shows up. It should say, “Pass the URL of the blog on to us.”

5. Type in the user’s URL and tell Tumblr admin that the user is contemplating suicide and has posted a message indicating that they are going through with it or will be attempting. Hit send! Tumblr administration will perform a number of actions to contact the user and take the necessary steps to prevent the suicide.

TUMBLR: THIS COULD SAVE A USER’S LIFE. PLEASE DO NOT IGNORE SUICIDE THREATS.

Reblog this to keep other users aware. Suicide isn’t a joke, and neither is someone’s life. If you didn’t know this, someone else may not, either. Pass it on.

Frisk is tired. She needs a nap.

Not that her cousins will let her leave...

Happy Thanksgiving, if you celebrate that.

She never liked Halloween...

Toriel (OCD)

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder

Stereotypes:

It has to be clean

~

Real:

Not everyone with OCD is a “clean freak”. While it’s true that some people obsess with it having to be clean, it’s possible to just like things clean without having OCD. It becomes OCD when it’s very repetitive and disrupts normal life.

A common obsession is washing and rewashing hands, or checking locks/switches multiple times in a room. Many, if not most, people with OCD know/believe their obsessions are really not something they should worry about a lot, but they have little control of it.

Not following through with their obsession can cause very deep panic and trouble.

Sans (Self-Injury)

Addiction to Self-Harm

Stereotypes: 

I hurt myself, therefore I’m Suicidal.

I always hurt myself using a knife.

I can stop whenever I feel like it.

~

Real:

Not everyone who hurt themselves wants to die. A lot of people hurt themselves because the just want to feel something, or it temporarily fills a hole inside them. Many because they feel like they don’t have control, and hurting themselves gives them just a little bit back.

     Once I was talking to a friend who use to scratch themselves. I remember asking them if it was worth it. I don’t remember fully what they said because it was a few years ago, but it was along the lines of “If you mean it fills the emptiness inside and makes me feel normal, then yes.” They moved, so I don’t know if their answer would have changed.

     My own experience, I used to forced myself to stay awake. It made me feel in control of a life I thought I had zero say in what happened. Was it worth it? Yeah. It allowed me to get over my insomnia. There was a cost, though. When my sleep schedule gets messed up, it takes weeks to repair. So would I do it again? No.

There are many ways people hurt themselves. Self harm means anything you do to intentionally sabotage yourself. This can be anywhere from burning and cutting, to something as simple as not letting yourself sleep.

Self harm can become an addiction. There’s a reason why I have Sans as Addiction to Self-Harm. Like I said above, it does something that the person likes. And it can be hard to see the downside of it. It can become an addiction. You can’t just take an addiction away. It can destroy people further.

(This is just something I’ve noticed in most illnesses/conditions, but I’m putting it here because I think about it most often with this) Most illnesses/conditions surface in teenagers and adolescents. Why? I’m sure hormones have to do with this, but as you reach adulthood, your parents are officially no longer in charge of keeping you fed and healthy. I think that’s why (more so with eating disorders) it happens around this age. Cause trust me, it’s hard to fast, diet, or binge eat when you have parents. Please don’t ask why I know that... So... That’s just what I’ve noticed. What do you think?

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) and Depression are not the same. However, they look very similar. The main difference is with depression, you have a loss of interest in activities you normally enjoy. CFS doesn't have this.

Real:

By all means, they can. But not everyone does. If you and your sibling were abused, your sibling could get it and not you. Not only PTSD, but just about everything. Depression, not guaranteed. Anxiety, nope. Suicidal, definitely not.

Child Abuse is a serious problem, though.

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

Stereotypes:

Real:

They absolutely care how they act. I have a friend who suffers badly from ADHD. And he is constantly stressed because of how he often acts. He tries very hard to be “responsible” and “normal”. But it’s also very hard for him. Of course, that’s when he’s on his meds. But even when he wasn’t, we were at work, helping people, and I told him to be responsible he looked at me apologetically and said “I know, I’m trying.”

Undyne/Montee (ASPD, Psychopathy)

Antisocial Personality Disorder and Psychopathy

Stereotypes:

Psychopaths are emotionless

Psychopaths don’t care about anyone but themselves

The Hollywood psychopath

All murders are psychopaths

~

Real:

Psychopath is not an psychiatric term, nor is it a psychiatric diagnosis. It may or may not be a sub diagnosis for ASPD (more commonly known as Sociopathy), but that's still up for debate. I personally believe they are different, yet closely correlated.

Those with ASPD are not emotionless. They just don’t feel emotions as strong. However, most don’t see to feel fear. This often causes them to create a “mask” to fit in with society.

I don't have anything educational to correct this. This one is more belief than anything else.

Psychopaths shown in movies are VERY wrong. They aren’t insane. Most of them act like normal people.

Not all psychopaths are killers (very few actually are), and not all killers are psychopaths. You can have regular people be serial killers (bet that’s comforting to think about).

What is an Empath. Have you ever heard of them?

An Empath is someone who has very high amounts of empathy. Often to the point of feeling other people's emotions. And it's often hard for them to tell if the emotions they feel belong to themselves, or to someone else.

So I decided I want to have separate references for each of characters instead of grouping them in pairs/trios. For one main reason:

I would like to add references and better explanations. Which means please by all means, PLEASE tell me if I get something wrong. A lot of this is personal experience and I know that one case study is not enough to get a truly accurate description of these. It will have the tag NeurosisRefs. I’ll add it to the pinned post... And also this one.

These will be updated whenevertheheck I feel like it. Because my study interests change; like a few days ago I was interested in psychopathy... Actually that’s why I decided to do separate refs. It may take some time to get updated pictures out. I haven’t had a lot of motivation in the drawing department.

It's Undertale's 6th Anniversary and I'm posting this now because I forgot to post it this morning.

So here's Chara and Neurosis!Chara♥️

(Heights are not to scale)

I- Come on, people. Telling someone to kill themselves?

Do you realize how many people will? Search up some statistics.

Everyone who is having this problem, please know that there are a lot of people who love you. Don't listen to those who tell you otherwise.

About a week ago I posted this.

I’ve been getting horrible messages like this in my ask for months, including:

and my personal favorite

After getting the message saying “Just go kill yourself” I was completely done dealing with this person’s horrible messages and replied with just an “Okay.” and logged off tumblr.

About a week later I logged back on with 17 messages in my ask, most of them from the anon. I scrolled down and at first when I logged off, the anon messaged me things like

I scrolled up more and all of a sudden they started sending me more and more messages like

This was extremely surprising to me. I thought “After all those horrible messages you sent to me for MONTHS about hating me and wanting me dead, you say ‘sorry’ and that you ‘cant be responsible for someone’s suicide’?”

But I guess the lesson goes like this:

DONT TELL ANYONE TO KILL THEMSELVES UNLESS YOU ARE PREPARED FOR WHAT MIGHT ACTUALLY HAPPEN

These are old and irrelevant. Current refs are under NeurosisRefs

She doesn't always have the white eyes. They actually only appear when she's really happy.

River is an Empath.

Here we are, nearing the finish with the Dark Triad.

For those who don't know, the Dark Triad is referring to the three conditions that are on the low ends on the empathy scale:

Undyne: Sociopathy

Montee: Psychopathy

Mettaton: Narcissistic Personality Disorder

Yes, I realize Undyne and Montee are switched. The picture is wrong.
