I ❤ your self expression! I’m 52, PTSD & PNES, who lives with a psychotic. I use the most metallic looking giant eye makeup. I went from not wearing any to joking that I now wear bicycle reflectors on my face. It made me a different person in self expression & I’ve been blessed with support, not derision, from most people. ❤your videos & your expression of you!!!
ALways be who you truly want to be. It makes life more meaningful, more enjoyable, and more authentic. Never be ashamed of the amazing beautiful woman that you are. You know who you are and thats a gift not many people get to have in life because they are too worried about what other people think. You are definitely an inspiration. I was very much an alt, goth growing up and I miss that part of myself. Hopefully I'll make my way back to the awesome person I was...even though I'm just as awesome now. Thank you for being you. Keep being amazing. Cheers
Hello! Thank you so so much for your videos! It really helped me immensely and it reminded me that I really want to do awareness as well when I will be ready. Last year I experienced a strong OCD episode focused on my queerplatonic partner and it was that strong and putting me under so much stress that I even got vicarious trauma to one tragedy that is related to my partner. Your videos are so relatable for me, especially the one about PTSD from psychosis helped me immensely, especially the part about being traumatized and triggered by something you have never "really" experienced. As a person with vicarious trauma, this is something that I thought about a lot. I also felt ashamed of my ability to be triggered from seemingly innocent things that my brain just somehow distantly associated with the trigger. Also it helped me to know that psychopatological episodes and recovery can take really long. Now I feel less alone and more ok. Thank you so much! :) And this video is also something that I find really relatable, because since the beginning I have had a very... transformative attitude towards my episode. I knew that it was there because it had to teach me something. Which it absolutely did and only thanks to my episode I'm now in the new era of my life with new amazing and exciting projects and ways to express myself artistically. ^^ Also, I would like to ask you a question. Do you yourself have experiences with OCD obsessions? And if yes, how do they differ from delusions with insight, especially in Pure O OCD type? This is something I sometimes think about, because I feel that my OCD episode had some psychotic cognitive patterns, but I don't want to use this description incorrectly. But when I think about it, I couldn't imagine how having a delusion with insight can be different from having a very strong obsession, maybe when we rule out the hallucinations. So I would like to ask you about your opinion on this. :)
Oh wow vicarious trauma really is something!! I'm sorry it's affected you so much, it really is so impactful and overwhelming. But I'm very glad to hear you are in a new era after your episode with exciting projects and artistic expression! That is so incredibly healing. As for the OCD, I don't have OCD (been diagnosed with OCD tendencies though so I can very scarcely relate) but there seems to be an incredible amount of overlap in the thought processes of delusions and obsessions. I know some of my delusions have caused me to act out in ways that would be similar to compulsions, like covering my head with a hat to keep people from hearing my thoughts and wearing mismatched shoes to ground myself etc. I'm not sure if that's along the lines of what you're asking though? But there definitely is a lot of overlap that I've noticed, and I think that whether a person has both or only one there are still so many ways you can relate.
I thought your hair was naturally those colors!? I don't have tattoos and I'm told they prevent sweating? I have been severely psychotic, like you. I got better by pretending or acting so I could get out of the hospital. I also learned to read recovering psychosis. Madmen can read, lol. I'm glad you like yourself. I too sometimes ask who am i? It's freaky, isn't it? I know people who are mindless and I wonder how I got to be different? I guess it's the gifts of intellect. I'm so not over the cruelty of the imagination! Stay clean one day at a time.
I’m schizoaffective bipolar. I find a ball cap and jean jacket, as simple as they are, help me. Your videos are really good. You should have a mentor subscription/masterclass. I’m not trying to sell you anything but an idea I had was to do that. Recording a class and selling it, ya know? Brendan Bouchard teaches people how to do this and my mom has one. I decided not to but you would do really well! Ok bye

You are a beautiful human being inside and out and I find you very inspirational! You have inspired me to advocate as well. ✌️
