I Have Schizoaffective Disorder, Does That Count As ND? I Saw That Schizophrenia Was On The List, And

I have Schizoaffective Disorder, does that count as ND? I saw that Schizophrenia was on the list, and I WAS originally diagnosed with that when I had my mental breakdown.

For those who don't know about Schizoaffective Disorder, it is a mental disorder. There are three types: Bipolar (Manic) Type [mix of Schizophrenia and Mania], Depressive Type [mix of Schizophrenia and Depression], and Mixed Type [a combination of all three].

I have Bipolar Type, personally. If you want more information, I will put some links to various sites explaining the disorder.

Medication Adherence and my Schizoaffective Journey - OC87 Recovery Diaries

Life with psychotic symptoms, hallucinations, delusions and paranoia is hard enough, but when coupled with suspicions of medication; it can

This is the story of a young woman who has struggled with Schizoaffective Disorder. It advocates the need to stay on your meds unless a psychiatrist says it is safe to do so.

Sorry for the really long re-blog, but I felt the need to teach people about this.

fuck it. shout out to "high functioning" neurodivergents

the ones who can mask easily, the ones who can get social cues, the ones who have managed to go most of their life not even knowing they were ND because they didn't present as the stereotypical ND person.

the ones who can pay attention in class, understand social etiquette, who understand societial expectations

the ones who don't feel neurodivergent enough bc they don't struggle in the same ways/areas a lot of NDs do, or they can't relate to other NDs' experiences because they always understood these things easily

the ones with high empathy, the ones who DO get the joke, the ones who are constantly told that they can't possibly be neurodivergent because they don't act like what you'd expect a neurodivergent person to act like.

you are neurodivergent enough. you are valid, and so are your experiences. not struggling as much as others do in some places doesn't mean you dont struggle at all. your condition and diagnosis is valid. your symptoms are valid. YOU ARE VALID. not checking all the supposed boxes doesn't mean you aren't neurodivergent. you are enough. you are valid. you are loved. you are valued. you matter. you belong in neurodivergent spaces, you deserve to use whatever resources are available to you, you are allowed to take up space in these communities. and i am so, so proud of you.

feel free to, and actually, i encourage you to reblog this with your experiences. we belong in this community as much as anyone else. please also tag this w/ any neurodivergent conditions i may have forgotten 💙

since this is getting lots of notes I'd like to add, even if you're undiagnosed or maybe self diagnosed, for whatever reason, (i.e. can't get access to a diagnosis, not being taken seriously, or just not wanting an official diagnosis, etc.) this still applies to you. actually especially to you folks. don't think for a second you're not valid just bc you don't have the paperwork or whatever to say it

Oh boy, I like the head canon, but I too wonder how he knows this?!

Hold on- so there’s the head canon that Katsuki knows how many freckles Izuku has. BUT DOESN’T THAT MEAN HIS WHOLE BODY??? Did he like- sneak glances to count in the locker room?? Or maybe when they were little they took a bath together or something??? And he calls Izuku a stalker??

Nice work! I love it! If any of you out there wanted a detailed map of character connections, this is the post to read!

Here is some Law x Luffy fan art. Again, it is not mine. Below is the link to the Pinterest page I found it on. The artist is unknown. If you know who the artist is, message me the identity so I can give credit. If you are the artist of the image, tell me so I can give credit or take down the post if you do not approve.

ONE PIECE

This is a YouTube Playlist for One Piece fan comics. The playlist belongs to Ms.AngeliChemicals, but I don't think they created the comics themselves. Either way, THIS is what got me liking ZoLu and LawLuffy. There are also ZoSan comics, but I haven't read those...

Enjoy!

It's that time again everybody! Time to surrender to the forces of Circadian Rhythm and fall deep into slumber. If you are so inclined and capable, snuggle close to your loved one, whoever that may be. I wish you pleasant dreams and a bright morning after!

NOTE: The art is not mine, the link for the image will be posted below. It is connected to a user, but they may not have drawn this art.

As someone who identifies as asexual, this feels good to me. I was among those who thought it was recent, that there wasn't really any history of it. This post shows me that asexuality DOES have a history! This makes me very happy!

@hungry-skeleton, thank you for posting this! It should be re-blogged forever!

Asexuals were always part of pride and it really fucking shows when people think it's a recent term.
