Howdy, Kids.

Hana-Admin here with a tiny announcement.

I have recently brought in another doctor (while Hanbyul is retired until the muse comes back for her, if the muse comes back). His name, as you can see from the application is Jisoo.

Background out of the way, here’s the announcement part:

Jisoo will from this point on be my admin faceclaim. Like, Hana is great but half the time, Zinger starts answering people and she is not.... Human Resource friendly?

So, Jisoo will be a more professional face and etc, etc, etc, etc. I will still answer admin questions from Hana’s acc; not very picky in that department. This is just a heads up if you go to the asylum blog and see Jisoo’s pic in the admins positions with Jiyong and you start to freak out and think I left or whatever. 

I didn’t leave. I’m still here.

Still here folks, just a different administrator face.

Hybristophilia

Hybristophiliacs are people who are sexually aroused and attracted to people who have committed cruel, gruesome crimes such as murder and rape. It occurs more often in women than in men.

There are two categories of hybristophiliacs:

1) Passive Hybristophilia

Every year, notorious criminals receive romantic and sexual “fan mail” from admirers. These letter-writing groupies (known as SKGs – serial killer groupies) have no desire in taking part of criminal activity, yet are attracted to men behind bars. These women are usually delusional and will try to find excuses for what the criminal did. They will develop relationships with a criminal and feel that they are special – that even though their lover may have killed numerous people, he would never harm her. They usually feel that they can “change” their lover and have rescue fantasies. Passive hybristophiliacs “tend to put themselves in positions to be seduced, manipulated, and lied to by the people they fall for “ (Suite 101).

2) Aggressive Hybristophilia

Aggressive hybristophiliacs are complete opposites. They are willing to help out their lovers with their criminal agenda by luring victims, hiding bodies, covering crimes, or even committing crimes. They are attracted to their lover’s because of their violent actions and want to receive love, yet are unable to understand that their lover’s are psychopaths who are manipulating them. Both passive and aggressive hybristophiliacs tend to end up in abusive or unhealthy relationships.

My friend volunteers at the Proprietary House, a historic landmark in our town. It dates back to the 1700s and was designed by Willam Franklin. They need donations to help restore it back to it’s original state.

What can you do?

Reblog and share as much as possible! Donations would be very helpful too! This association is COMPLETELY volunteer based so any bit you can donate would help a lot in the restoration of the Proprietary House.

Helping those you care about with Schizophrenia

I hate those “how to deal with ____” types of things, but as a schizophrenic who has faced countless misunderstanding and dehumanization, I feel the need to make this post.

How to support someone close to you who has schizophrenia

First, it is important to understand not every schizophrenic is the same. Not all of us hallucinate, not all of us have delusions, so it is important to understand your friend’s symptoms particularly. But please, if your friend experiences paranoia or distrust, do not force them to tell you their symptoms especially in those cases. Usually asking paranoid-types if we have paranoia is fine, or otherwise very obvious. 

You must be patient, and allow us to open up to you, but do not infantilize us. We are very human, and we are very much the age we are. We are not children, and do not need to be coddled–and in my case (Paranoid-type), it causes extreme distrust and paranoia to do so.

These are just a few symptoms that I decided to write about. There are a wide variety of symptoms that differ from one person to the next.

Symptoms of Schizophrenia + How to Help

Hallucinations

Auditory, visual, sensory, sometimes even smell–but not everyone experiences hallucinations.

Helping: Do not hold your friend down unless they have told you before to do so. In auditory cases, it is important to speak softly and try to divert our attention from what is happening. Ask if you could play some music, or bring us out of the room/area immediately if possible. In visual cases, be sure to speak clearly and softly aswell. Maybe even asking what we could be seeing, and offering to get rid of it in superficial ways could help. Do not press on the “its not real” “you’re just seeing things”. We know that. Instead, say “what are you seeing/feeling/hearing” “what can i do to make it go away” Keep in mind though not all hallucinations are extreme, and it is always best to ask how you can help before doing anything.

Disorganized speech

People with schizophrenia tend to have trouble concentrating and keeping a line of thought. This could be from quickly switching topics that have no similariies, making up words, and repetition. I’ve even heard of some people rhyming words that have no correlation to their thoughts whatsoever.

Helping: The best thing to do is just to tell us if you’re confused. Just ask us to explain what we meant, and in time you’ll probably learn how the individual’s train of thought works enough to understand things easily. Another thing to do would be to help us in strengthening our vocabulary or word use. Writing stories is a great way to start.

Disorganized behavior

Decline in overall daily functioning

Helping: If needed, reminding your friend to eat, shower, brush their teeth, etc would be wonderful. In my case for example, I forget to eat, sometimes for days straight. Motivate your friend.

Inappropriate emotional responses

Helping: Explain yourself. Please, just explain yourself clearly. Ask us to explain ourselves. Listen from our side of the story. LISTEN. We likely don’t know why we’re acting the way we are. Help us figure out why. Listen.

Strange behaviors that seem to have no meaning

Helping: Ask us why we’re doing it with genuine curiosity. Sometimes it might be a tick, so it’s best to observe before asking, because ticks can be embarrassing to be pointed out. If we are making strange choices, just ask us what our line of thought it. 

Trouble with impulse control

Helping: Tell us not to, tell us the consequences. Impulses are things you feel that is needed to be done even though they are bad. Explain to us that we don’t need to do it. Come up with alternatives.

Disassociation

Help: Tell us we are real. The world we are in, is real. Answer any questions we ask you. Be patient. Say their name. Tell them who they are. Tell them who you are.

Are You Dissociating?

Dissociating is one of the most common responses to abuse and trauma. It involves feeling numb, detached or unreal and (while it happens to everyone once in a while) is experienced more frequently and severely in survivors. Dissociating people vary widely in symptoms and may experience any or all of the things from the following list.

You may be dissociating if you:

find yourself staring at one spot, not thinking anything

feel completely numb

feel like you’re not really in your body, like you’re watching yourself in a movie.

feel suddenly lightheaded or dizzy

lose the plot of the show or conversation you were focused on

feel as if you’re not quite real, like you’re in a dream

feel like you’re floating 

suddenly feel like you’re not a part of the world around you

feel detached and far away from other people, who may seem mechanical or unreal to you

are very startled when someone/something gets your attention

completely forget what you were thinking just a moment ago

suddenly cover your face or react as if you’re about to be hurt for no reason

can’t remember important information about yourself, like your age or where you live

find yourself rocking back and forth

become very focused on a small or trivial object or event

find that voices, sounds or writing seem far away and you sometimes have trouble understanding them.

feel as if you’ve just experienced a flashback (perhaps rapidly) but you can’t remember anything about it.

perceive your body as foreign or not belonging to you

(likes and reblogs always taken as support)

With Nam Taehyun's recent admission that he suffers from Bipolar Disorder, he has further opened the discussion on mental and emotional health of Idols.

So far, there had been a significant number of Idols who admitted to have suffered or are diagnosed with mental illnesses/disorders. 1. Bang Yongguk - Panic Disorder, Depression 2. Changjo (Teen Top) - Eating Disorder, Depression, Bipolar Disorder 3. P.O (Block B) - Stress Induced Schizophrenia 4. SM Milk Club (Onew, Taeyeon, Yoona, Leeteuk, Yoochun) - Depression 5. Park Bom - Depression, PTSD 6. IU - Anorexia 7. Wooshin (Up10tion) - Mental Stress/Exhaustion 8. Lee Joon - Bipolar Disorder, Depression 9. Kiseop (Ukiss) - Depression, Openly admitted to Suicidal thoughts 10. Sunggyu - Anxiety Disorder 11. Jun jin (Shinhwa) - Panic Disorder 12. Henry - ADHD 13. Sojung (Ladies Code) - Eating Disorder 14. Heechul - Depression 15. Suga - Depression 16. Himchan - Eating Disorder 17. T.O.P. - Anxiety Disorder, Depression 18. Amber (fx) & Jonghyun (Shinee) - Stress Induced Insomnia

I dream of a day that idols can talk about their mental health freely, without fear of backlash, judgment, and labels such as weak, broken, and retarded. That when they do comeback from a mental health break, they aren’t looked at with pity but with the same level of respect they had before their hiatus. That psychological and emotional health is as much of a priority as physical health and that support network such as therapists and psychiatrists are of easy access.

psa: different people with the same mental illness will act different. Two people can have bpd and be VERY different. two people with anxiety can be different. the point is, stop acting like someone with a mental disorder or illness has to be a cookie cutter of the symptoms. not. everyone. is. the. same.
