i’m still processing my upd (unspecified PD) diagnosis

i think eventually i want to come up with a list of PDs i heavily relate to just cuz like. it’s kind of like how i’m comfortable with calling myself queer, nonbinary, and aroace but i still prefer to have microlabels if there are more specific ways to describe me

i might just start cutting and pasting together diagnosis criteria from whatever PD diagnosis criteria i do actually relate to, like a collage, and keep it on a page of this blog or smth

(compiled from DSM 5’s descriptions for upd, avpd, npd, ocpd, ppd)

i’m paranoid about being perceived in any negative way so i hypercurate myself and reality in order to avoid it, while aware that this is impossible–but being obsessed with it because it’s impossible, needing to be the one that does the impossible, needing to be with other people who understand what it means to pursue that (and ideally, also pursue it themselves)

ten ways I cope with psychosis

1. Grounding techniques — Make use of the five senses: Listen to your favorite song. Run your hands under cold water. Taste your favorite snack. Smell your favorite candle. Look at beautiful artwork. Be mindful about the sensations you feel while engaging in these activities.
2. Listening to music — My go-to way to deal with auditory hallucinations. I recommend listening to instrumental music, if you are prone to ideas of reference.
3. Creating art — A good creative outlet takes the focus away from my psychosis and towards whatever it is I’m creating. Plus I can make something that symbolizes how I feel while psychotic.
4. Taking a walk — This can be hard to do if I’m psychotic, as the paranoia makes me think people outside are watching or following me. So what I like to do is pace the hallway in my house. It helps me keep my mind off things.
5. Journaling — Writing out what I’m feeling can be an immense relief, especially when I’m experiencing delusions. Also I can also look back at these thoughts and reflect on them.
6. Identifying triggers — Discovering what makes you psychotic can help to prevent future episodes. (Be mindful about who you share this info with as others could use it against you.)
7. Breathing exercises — When I’m psychotic my stress and anxiety levels ramp up. Just one minute of deep, steady breathing helps to keep those levels under control.
8. Spend time with pets — Pets don’t judge you for being psychotic. They’re perfect for snuggles, and running your hands through their fur reduces stress and anxiety, and makes for a good grounding exercise.
9. Asking for reality checks — Sometimes I have trouble telling what’s real and what’s not. When in doubt, asking a trusted person for a reality check can be very helpful in dispelling delusions or paranoia. If you’re alone, recording with your phone can help to verify if you’re hallucinating.
10. Finding a community online — One if the worst parts of psychosis is feeling like you’re completely alone in this. But you’re not. I found communities of psychotic people on Tumblr, Reddit, Youtube, and more. I find that being around people like me helps me feel less alone in my mental health journey.
