"I love being schizophrenic. I love that the quiet means something, and although it’s often fleeting and hard to hold on to, when it’s here, it’s everything. I love the dissonance that happens when I’m stressed—my mind tracking what my body has a tough time noticing. I love smelling popcorn when there’s none close by. I love how sleep floods over me when I take my medication on the proper schedule."

Seeds of #Schizophrenia May Be Planted in The Earliest Moments of Life
There's a window of time in our lives we've all passed through yet know little about: early #gestation. Researchers found a pair of #genetic deletions associated with schizophrenia that likely occur in that formative period. While genetic alterations need further validation, findings strengthen an emerging idea that schizophrenia aren't always inherited, yet may be acquired long before someone is born.

Can you help us out?

It's May, and we need help to make budget. Going to try to budget for $600. Gonna have to get to the clinic a couple of times and schedule to get my teeth fixed, plus pay for medicine, supplies, and food.

We're a poor, disabled, queer family living in a crumbling house on one tiny income, which is a really expensive life to live.

We're also working on a game, and would like to put as much time toward it as possible.

You can help!

finished reading The Collected Schizophrenias: Essays
Essays on the author's experience of schizophrenia (along with bipolar, PTSD & chronic Lyme!) in the US. Fascinating & unsettling view into psychiatric hospitals, mental health 'support' in Ivy League colleges, and what the hell a psychotic break feels like. Blimey.

I've invented a test for stupid people to tell the difference between someone with Tourettes talking to themselves and someone with delusions/hallucinations (#schizophrenia or otherwise) talking to themselves -

#tourettes - It will make sense, and probably be funny, or them insulting someone or something, or going over random stuff they're thinking.

Delusions/hallucinating - it will make no sense at all, and be mostly random word salad, and not funny at all.

#FukushimaJustLife | Sun. 9 Mar.

Yesterday, every choice seemed to misfire, the gears slipping, never quite catching. But a new day turns the page, offering the quiet promise of a reset.

The swiftest remedy? My mum’s smile. Wanting to see that unmistakable glow, I stopped by #Dennys, picking up her favourite meal. The moment she saw it, her face lit up—soft, radiant, effortless joy.

A simple gesture, yet enough to set the world right again. And with that, the day begins anew.

Not mine, but entirely hers. I chose it yesterday, knowing it would bring her joy.

A trace in the breadcrumbs, a hint in the binding—even the pork held a touch. Not quite lectin-free, but that’s just a detail. But what truly matters? The quiet delight of watching her savour every bite.

#Lectin-free #Breakfast | Thurs. 7 Mar.

I couldn’t accompany my mum to her appointment, so I sat alone at the breakfast table. The crisp morning air, laced with a sharp chill, had left its mark—a whisper of nerve pain in every movement, especially in my face. Even the simplest tasks stretched endlessly, yet time slipped away too fast. In the silent room, breakfast faded into a fleeting moment—delicate, yet distant.
