When I say I want to be a therifom wolf I'm not just talking about the pretty parts. Sure, the soft paws treading lightly on the earth while the wind bristles through my fur as I run past trees sounds amazing, and I want that too. But I'm talking about the starvation, the urges to hunt and kill, the dried blood on my muzzle, the diseases, the aggression, splinters and ticks and fleas, torn ears and fresh wounds.

All of it. I want all of it.

Psychotic People are Harassed and Bullied for Their Disability.

Most normal people aren’t even aware that this is a thing. There was a bad instance of it at one of my jobs. I had a delusion that my coworkers thought was comical. So much so that they felt the need to coerce me into talking about it in front of other coworkers (I didn’t have any reason to bring it up without being led in that direction). A select few decided to make a game out of how many times they could coerce me into bringing it up in a day. It reached a point where it was literally all I talked about. It wound me up in the hospital.

You may have heard of this game called “wake up”. It’s when assholes work as a team to spontaneously say “wake up!” to you throughout the day in an attempt to make you believe you’re in some sort of coma. A good friend of mine with schizophrenia was driven into an episode over “wake up”. If any schizos reading this ever hears people say “wake up” to you, ignore it and never talk to who said it to you.

Similarly, there’s this thing people do online and irl where they pretend to be a person trying to reach you while you are in a coma kind of like the movie Total Recall. This too has hospitalized schizophrenic people.

Everyone knows “I’m in your walls” by now or should. It gets people banned from mental health forums, but society won’t look down on people for doing it that way they would if another marginalized group was targeted.

Shit happens at the very facilities psychotic people go to be treated. One tech lady, upon being asked not to touch me, would reach out and touch me each time she said, " I'm not going to touch you". She wasn't checking vitals or anything. Just a sadistic head game she wanted to play.

All of this is so frequent that I could write about it every day and never run out of material. Any other psychotic person could as well. I know because when I share a story with my crazy friends, they always have a similar one. Awareness should be raised about how commonplace and damaging all of this bull shit is.

I’m psychotic. I mean that literally I experience psychosis.

I think many people don’t understand that while yes talking to myself is a symptom of my psychosis, it’s also one of my best coping skills.

It’s not scary when I mumble to myself in public, it’s me coping in a way that’s safe for you and me.

Reduce stigma for everyone no matter why someone acts like me but like in my case specifically I promise you prefer me when I can talk to myself.

Im really happy that bioterms are catching on.

Here is a more official bioterms post.

Bioterms relay how someone wants their body to be referred to.

Ex: Someone with wolf bioterms may want their hands and feet referred to as their paws, their haired referred to as their fur, their mouth and nose to be referred to as their snout, their clothes referred to as their pelt, etc.

Bioterms can be put in bios like pronouns.

Ex: Toby he/they (raven bioterms)
