Instead of "but that's not real", you should try responding to a psychotic persons distress with:

That sounds really scary. I'm really sorry that you're going through this. I can't imagine how scared I'd be if it was me.

Thank you for sharing this with me. I know it can't be easy to open up about it, and I'm glad you felt comfortable telling me

You can tell me more about it if you want to. I promise not to judge you, invalidate you or panic

Is there anything I can do to help you feel safer? Any way I can help support you through this?

Boycott launch date of Switch 2 and buy it the next day, June 6.

This has worked before:

When the 3DS released, it was over priced too. No one bought it so then they lowered the price!

It has happened before, it can happen again.

If you can wait even 1 day at least, or 1 week at best, it will make a difference.

Spread the news. In solidarity of those who can't buy Switch 2, those who can buy it should at least boycott the launch date. I garantee you it WILL make a difference.

Remember the consumer is always right.

I'm so tired and exhausted but I need to clear my head.

For the past few months, even before my partner passed away, there were things happening with my brain that were not normal for me. Things like feeling much lower than usual, my reality no longer feeling "real," and having various feelings of instability despite my life being in a fairly decent spot.

These feelings have only escelated with the passing of my partner, and continue to heighten.

And I don't think I've felt proper happiness since before he passed.

Yesterday and this evening feel as if all of these heavy feelings have caved in. I've been crying constantly and uncontrollably, I keep feeling my heart beat very strongly, I've become much more aware of my breathing, and there's a constant sense of dread that lurks in the back of my mind even in my more "stable" moments. These are only the tip of the iceberg, as well.

I know I need to seek professional help. I've been trying for so long to hold myself together, to keep my mind and attitude in check. But I am so tired, exhausted, and sick from forcing myself to keep everything under wraps that I just need a break. I need to rest. I know I need medical help and therapy. But there is too much going on in my life for that to happen anytime soon.

I know what I need. But I don't know how quickly I can get it. And in the meantime, I'm not sure how much longer I can hold myself together.

I want to continue being my usual positive and goofy and wholesome person to others, but when your brain and body is constantly working against you and not giving you the satisfaction that these traits gave you before, it's hard to keep up.

I suppose what I'm asking of you, the reader, my followers, my friends is, please be patient with me. Hours have been feeling like days and days have been feeling like months. I'm hoping that in order to get myself back on track, I will need only but a few weeks if not a month. But again, months have been feeling like years to me, and I'm not sure how long this is going to last so long as I don't have the help I need yet.

For those on the schizophrenia and related disorders spectrum

*this does not mean when you first realized that they are symptoms. But rather in retrospect when you looking back, with the context of the disorder, remember symptoms starting.

Me, realizing after years, that I actually hate monetizing my drawings. Fanart was always the biggest drive. Yeah, I enjoy making concept arts for my own world. Yeah, I sometimes like doing commissions and stuff...

But it was always the fandoms, the fanarts, the alternate version, the mashups. Sharing, and talking about it. Hyperfixating together when I draw that character at 3 am.

And for a while I beat up myself for it, I had to create something original, otherwise I'm not that good of an artist. I even have a paper in fine arts and graphic design, and wanted to pursue drawing as a carrier, but it never really worked out. And this is why. It's not for me. It took me 8 years to realize this.

I want to draw my silly little fictional crushes with my silly little OCs, and sometimes make something of my own.

That's all.

This is making the rounds on BlueSky, but I haven't seen it here yet.

Twitter is rolling out a "Recreate this with Grok" button directly on images now when you open them. Also, some people have experienced their artwork getting labeled as 'made with Grok'

I understand why some people have tried to stay but, please at the very least start transitioning your work to other places so at the very least you have a exit without hurting your finances too much.

Twitter is only going to become more hostile towards artists. It's full of poison and it's only a matter of time before it fully erodes.

Spin this wheel and tell me if you got something you need/want.
