GOD I Love Them, They’re So Pretty :(

ten ways I cope with psychosis

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.)

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.

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.

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.

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.

I LOVE ITTT

kat doll real

Yeah I made at Kat doll lol

I’ve wanted to make a doll of Kat for a while and welp now I did

Time: 2 days

Materials I used:

The victim: Ghoulia Yelps G3 doll

Acrylic Paint

Rerooting tool (from ShimmerLocks)

Nylon hair (jungle fever from the doll planet)

Chains

Random heart necklace I scrapped for her

Bad matte sealer (I’m soon switching to msc so yeah)

Rainbow high mesh leggings and shirt (to cover up the paint shops

Shadow high shoes

That’s kinda it lol

There are a few changes I did (belt and necklace) but that’s cuz for the belt the last one I made for my first was not good and I tried glueing tiny plat six diamonds on it and they kept falling off, so i went with chains, and for the necklace, I would’ve used clay to make it but the clay I have is shit and it will turn to sand in a few months, so I went with this heart necklace that I had cuz the dang Chain thingy that opens won’t open.

I like the way she turned out and just thought I share her :)

Not much just rerooting and styling it I didn’t take that many pics

I'm sorry it's just so fun lolol

Cryptidcore Starterpack

Anything vintage, old Polaroid Cameras, newspapers, old photos, cds and tapes, iykyk

Keeping a book of your research, with sketches, notes, details, newspaper arrivals pasted in the book is just-

Okay- lock picking??? Like- it’s such a specific hobby but it GIVES

BROOO- FLANNELS???? Like- Especially orange or brown flannels. It’s so basic but on brand

A denim jacket or bag with Cryptid patches are simple but nice

Having books on paranormal research, folklore, mushrooms, amphibians, ANYTHING about mystery solving, etc. will do

Cavetown, Mother Mother, Penelope Scott, Nirvana, are good for cryptidcore

Knitted/crocheted sweaters and socks okay-

Being interesting in coins, gardening, mushrooms, amphibians, 90’s tech, drawing, any nature based interest is also great for starting

Cuffed jeans, band t shirts, converse,

I cannot stress this enough… GET👏MORE👏INFORMATION👏ABOUT👏YOUR👏LOCAL👏CRYPTIDS👏

Hear me out conceptum edition

The 90’s Jazz design….

this is how I see that scene

Am I the only one who sees Yellow as a representation of a child but his age is non canon so the real age could be up to interpretation? He could be a child but he could also an adult, as you want, but we should all agree he is autistic
