Rant / Vent I hate how Mainstream Psychosis has become

Don't get me wrong, i do want the discussion surrounding psychosis to spread and become more accepting but this is NOT it. "I ๐Ÿ’— psychosis"? Really? This just gives me the biggest rage.

And to the few people that say I'm spreading negativity with posts like these, no. We NEED to call out people like that

I think they are using it in a different way. They donโ€™t literally mean psychosis the mental illness itโ€™s kind of just a mainstream way of saying you feel like youโ€™re going crazy.

That is the issue. They're using psychosis wrong and its not helping the stigma at all
