Forgot some rather obvious tags in my last post: #autistic #neurodivergent #audhd #madness #madsky
idk if I like how the discourse is very public. I wouldn't put it past certain research groups to mine the forum for the benefit of their own academic careers. I've certainly seen it done with at least one #madsky hashtag on the Other Place.

Saturdays are a complete right off after work all week. I sleep in until 1/2pm, sometimes nap too. I spend the day on the sofa doing v little, often don’t leave the house, and if I do, it’s to my parents. It’s silly, but keeping ‘well’ to work takes so much out of me #MadSky
Does anyone know how @charlrwalker.bsky.social is? Haven't seen her around recently
#MadSky #MadSkyChat
looking for recommendations of Mad folks writing about playing/being playful with Madness - in any form! especially appreciate those from BIPOC voices and those outside the academy.

I had a cancer test recently. Today I got the results. I opened the letter. I actually felt immense weight on me to learn I'm in the clear.
Hope #madsky can understand
Officially autistic a year now!!
Gonna bake a cake for my anniversary and the anti psychs can feel sorry for me and my identity!!
Coffee cake is my favourite!!
What are your favourite cakes to celebrate?

Yes, it is possible to be taking two antipsychotics, a mood stabiliser, an anti-convulsant sedative & an antidepressant AND to still believe in psych abolition #MadSky
I don't think I've mentioned here that I have a Patreon! If you're into explorations of magic, Madness & the occult it might be for you. Membership starts at FREE, but payments really do help me get by 🪻

#madsky tell me, how to cone to terms with disability caused by another human. I don't want hatred to always fill my heart. One human destroyed my life and changed my life irrevocably. It stole my pension, career, status, friends etc etc. How do you even begin to accept it?
Tomorrow, Not the Void UK members meet to share a bit of chat and drink a coffee together over zoom. Our Xmas morning zoom is a tradition that predates our group, during Xmas 2020 and 21 when Boris put in last minute lockdowns, us MadCovid #Madsky folx met on zoom

Any UK friends, perhaps other autistic or #madSky people who could do me the favour of recieving my chewigem order at their UK Adress and forward it to my German address? (I'd obviously pay for the shopping expenses). Unfortunately they don't ship to Germany and I need them for sensory regulation.
Also just occurred to me that #SeparationAsAnActOfLove can be an affirming way to understand #plurality and even the state of psychic affairs that gets labelled as dissociative identity disorder.
Plural to the people and all that...

A new #hashorism, born of seeing someone calling psychotherapists hypocritical and “unhealed.”

Need to get away from my devices.
Love and light, Lovelies.
"Based on the group’s recommendations, the CHM has advised that the wording in the PILs provided with antidepressant medications should be strengthened to provide greater clarity on the risk of suicidal behaviour."

FDA Should Require Balanced, Evidence-Based Pregnancy Warnings for Common Antidepressants
www.citizen.org/news/fda-sho... Thank you @publiccitizen.bsky.social Hope you'll do the same for withdrawal #pharmasky #medsky #madsky
Venlafaxine protracted withdrawal diary: I'm in a wave that doesn't want to end. It started ten weeks ago. I'd give away one of my arms to stabilize. 14 months of withdrawal are definitely too long. #Psysky #medsky #madsky
"In 2002 and in 2003 the UK’s Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency warned of a 1.5-3.2 times higher risk of suicidal behaviour when taking the drug. Other regulators, including the US Food and Drug Administration, subsequently issued similar warnings." #psysky #medsky #madsky
Depot ✅ (😒)
(But also really hoping things settle as quickly as they’ve spiralled bc I gotta be in the office being a CPN on Wednesday!!!) #MadSky
When I told my now former doc that I wanted to stop venlafaxine he told me that for some people it isn't possible. He didn't tell me it five years earlier when he put me on it. Why? Had he had decided on my behalf that I was going to be on the drug for the rest of my life?

Here's a fine affliction that I'd not heard of before. I'm quite surprised it isn't considerably more poplar:
"
pananthropism
1867–
The belief or doctrine that the human spirit informs and animates the universe.
" [OED]

Great interview with @markhoro.bsky.social remarking the role of epistemic injustice in the dismissal and harm of patients suffering from withdrawal symptoms by their doctors #medsky #madsky #pharmsky
