Acht's bizarre grandfest

[graveyardhellhounds]

Not culture im apologise, im so annoyed how stpd is explained, you will read how with stpd you can experience short periods of mild psychosis then you try to research the difference with schizophrenia and they say “well stpd doesn’t have psychosis” but thats not true tho?? Im diagnosed with schizotypal but sometimes my symptoms get worse so i try to read more about stpd and schizophrenia/the schizospectrum but in the end im let down by the lack of research

This is 100% something that is super annoying. One of the problems with research is that there’s no set standard when it comes to language and terminology, so two different papers can be talking about the same thing and it be difficult to tell because they’re using to completely different words.

For example, I saw the title of a paper yesterday that read, “Schizotypy, schizotypy psychopathology and schizophrenia”. I know from experience that “schizotypy pathology” is StPD. Why they called it something other than StPD, I have no idea 🥲. But! That’s why I try to use a standardized language when I make information posts, even though that same language it’s used in all papers discussing StPD.

[ tl;dr is at the bottom ]

PSYCHOSIS VS StPD

With all that being said, technically speaking, StPD doesn’t experience psychosis* (with the exception of brief reactive psychosis, but I want to explain the natural quasi-psychotic state of StPD first). This is why the diagnostic criteria says, “magical thinking” instead of “delusions”, “odd perceptual experiences” instead of “hallucinations” and “strange and odd behavior” instead of “disorganized symptoms”. However, it’s all basically the same.

The thing is that StPD is “quasi-psychotic”; this means StPD is always and chronically a little by psychotic while also being a little bit lucid. We understand that our magical thinking, ideas of reference, odd perceptual experiences and odd and strange behavior are strange and odd and abnormal, while also feeling like our way of thinking and beliefs and behavior are natural and true. The phenomenon of both believing a delusion and knowing it’s not true at the same time called “double bookkeeping” and pwStPD are the most likely to do it out of the whole schizo spectrum of disorders.

The reason why StPD’s quasi-psychosis is chronic is because personality disorders are a chronic, lifelong pattern of behavior. In schizophreniform, schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorders, their psychosis is more intense or “severe”, but it’s cyclical. People with schizophreniform, schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorders have periods of complete lucidity and clarity, and periods of completely loosing touch with reality, and they cycle though these lucid vs psychotic patterns via psychotic episodes. PwStPD on the other hand are always both lucid and psychotic at the same time. And unlike people with schizophreniform, schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorders, we have insight about our quasi-psychosis (ie knowing our behavior and way of thinking is Odd, even if it feels natural and normal to us).

Because pwStPD have insight and double bookkeeping, our quasi-psychosis is something that sort of “plays in the background” of our everyday life. Make no mistake, while psychotic episodes are considered “severe” compared to quasi-psychosis, that doesn’t make StPD quasi-psychosis any less difficult or jarring to live with. StPD quasi-psychosis informs our thinking, our behavior, etc on a day to day basis. It’s very intertwined with our very being and, well, personality. BUT we do have that insight and awareness. We are able to keep a lot of our thoughts and beliefs a secret to ourselves (often out of fear of social anxiety and paranoia that are also marked by StPD).

Meanwhile, in schizophreniform, schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorders, they loose all lucidity and awareness (for the most part) when they go into a psychotic episode. There’s a complete break from reality. Because of this, these disorders that experience full, cyclical episodes of psychosis can potentially be a harm to themselves or others because for them, their psychotic episode is their reality, and they’re reacting to it as such. This is why forced hospitalization happens to those with schizophreniform, schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorders. PwStPD don’t have this full break from reality. For example, we may experience something like phantom limbs and believe ourself to be a fallen angel- but we just kind of accept that as a fact about ourselves, and maybe it informs the way we dress, the music we listen to and the hobbies we have, trying to get in touch with this fallen angel identity that we have, but overall it’s a very passive, albeit pervasive, influence. But in schizophreniform, schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorders, if they have a delusion about being a fallen angel they may try jumping off a building or something because “they can fly”, or they may try harming themselves in the hope of passing away and being reincarnated as their “true self” ie the fallen angel. These things cause harm and would require immediate attention.

And THAT’S the difference between StPD quasi-psychosis and a psychotic episode. THAT’S why you’ll get sources discussing pwStPD being able to experience mild psychosis while also getting sources saying pwStPD don’t actually get psychosis at all.

BRIEF PSYCHOSIS

With all that being said, pwStPD (as well as SzPD) can experience brief psychosis, sometimes called brief reactive psychosis.

The difference between schizophreniform and schizophrenia/schizoaffective disorders (grouping these two because the difference is the presence of mods disorders, but the psychotic experience is the same) is the length of psychosis. Schizophreniform = 1 month - 6 months, schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorders = 6 months or longer.

Brief psychosis is a psychotic disorder that lasts less than 1 month. When you consider that schizophrenic and schizoaffective psychotic episodes can last years, a psychotic episode lasting less than a month is in fact “brief” 🥲.

Because pwStPD can experience brief psychotic disorder, this is also why some sources will say that pwStPD can experience “brief and mild psychosis”. Brief psychosis isn’t a milder form of psychosis, it’s a shorter episode. The natural StPD quasi-psychotic state is the milder form of psychosis. This is what happens when someone who doesn’t do a ton of research reads just a paper or two and then write an article online 🥲. It’s conflating to different things, which causes confusion and misinformation!

tl;dr

Here’s an in-depth post I did about psychosis vs quasi-psychosis.

Here’s an in-depth post I did about brief psychotic disorder.

While I completely agree and understand your sentiment with the lack of StPD research, one thing I learned is you have to know where to look!

Reading about schizotypy (the personality spectrum of StPD) and schizotaxia (spectrum of disorders that have a genetic predisposition to schizophrenia, ie StPD, SzPD, PPD and AvPD) will really help when it comes to understanding StPD psychosis compared to schizophrenia!

Never Forget the Reign of Terror waged against Muslims (and by extension, Sikhs profiled as being Muslim) in the nearly two decades following 9/11.

For those planning to see Sonic The Hedgehog, especially to see Keanu Reeves as Shadow, I would just like to mention:

Keanu Reeves is a Zionist.

He has met and shaken hands with Netanyahu.

This happened while Keanu was meeting an Israeli producer at the producer's house. The event was seemingly for the Israeli administration to encourage Hollywood elites to make more movies about Israel.

He was also trained by Special-Op IDF members for John Wick.

For the movie, Keanu was trained by Aaron Cohen. A vocally Zionist ex-Spec-Ops soldier.

Aaron Cohen actively approves of the genocide. Today, 4/17/24 - Cohen posted this on X.

If you are planning on seeing Sonic 3 - you have a right to know this. The movie may be boycotted in the future, and seeing it might break your boycotting.

This information hasn't been spread enough and since the news dropped I've seen so many people up Reeves' ass, which understandable as he's a very popular actor - but he is not just silent in this genocide, he's clearly picked a side a long time ago.

Please pass on this information if you can. Stay informed and safe y'all.

From the river to the sea. 🍉

Overwolf (Who owns Curseforge) is an israeli company which is supporting the genocide in palestine and funding the IDF

Dont use curseforge anymore.

For downloading game mods: If it's Minecraft, use Modrinth instead, for any other games use gamebanana or nexusmods.

The original tweet appears to have been deleted. and im unable to find it on Archive.org, but the tweets are still indexed by google.

They're still openly raising money for Israel, though instead of the IDF in specific its just general "those affected by the Hamas attacks"

I've got a feeling Folly is going to be- if not already- the most tragic character of the series. Yes, she dug herself into this hole, but I think she is the worst mentally out of anyone. She can't disassociate from the trauma like Poob. She is in constant (if not chronic) pain. Bro the mask is literally SEARED to her flesh!!! She might as well be the Muse of Tragedy atp because she is SUFFERING!!!

stop watching anything with gal gadot in it — that ESPECIALLY includes marvel. they’re not even good anyway lmao. military-sponsored propaganda.

“not watching something” is genuinely the bare minimum. it’s the simplest boycott that could be asked of you.

They should make a "are you mad at me" that is taken neutrally and informationally every time and doesn't make everything worse when you ask it
