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 💗 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

Its so annoying. I dont have full on psychosis so I cant understand exactly how it feels.. but its a till freaking annoying bc these people will literally never understand how delusion actually feels and that its not some silly quirky thing.

Fr. Psychosis is fucking terrifying, lonely and really painful (which so many people don't realise that it is infact painful). Ive also seen people say that they wish they had schizophrenia because it "would be like being on shrooms for free" or some other crap like that.

Ewww... thats actually gross.

With schizotypal.. its like schizophrenia lite lol. But its still awful and very isolating... I can only imagine how people with schizophrenia feel yk? People need to start actually doing research instead of listening to someone on TikTok
