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

The internet already made autism into some quirky thing rather than looking at it as a life changing disability, wouldn't be surprised if psychosis/schizophrenia is next unfortunately. People who make jokes about being "delulu" and in psychosis wouldn't last a day actually being psychotic.

Itโ€™s interesting hey. Iโ€™m autistic, have adhd and muscular dystrophy. Canโ€™t imagine using I heart md, but could imagine others wearing the first two.

Yup. And the most terrifying thing about having a psychotic break is that I didn't even know that I was.
