Hello, how are you?
Do you also feel like your body is different than you as a being are? If so, how do you cope?
hihi!! my body is very different from Me - im a dog/werewolf. my best coping mechanism is viewing my body as a fully customizeable avatar,,, cuz it is! i can dress up however i want, get tattoos, piercings, dye my hair, get contact lenses, whatever! it also helps because I Am Not My Body, just like how we're not the avatars we play as in real videogames
i may never be able to look like Me, but associating positive feelings with my body (by getting into fashion for me, for others perhaps its self care or stimming etc) has been HUGE in helping cope with dysmorphia, species/gender dysphoria, and disability :0)

wat are ur favorite roblox games? im curious to play roblox myself and theres just So much
i havent been playing for super long but here's some that i like:
bee swarm simulation: you have a little hive of bees and you collect pollen in exchange for honey (money) and so quests for bears. it's pretty grindey but i like it for some reason
roblox uno: just uno. like the tabletop game. but my sibling and i play this in chaos mode (more +4/+3/reverse/blocks, start with 15, stacking, etc) and it will never not be funny to lay on like 6 reverses in a row to 1 person
hello kitty cafe: a restaurant tycoon-type sim but sanrio themed :0) obviously this is my all time fave LOL. there's not much to do gameplay wise so i AFK a lot but its still decent
baldi's basics multiplayer: sorta like slenderman but baldi's basics. the objective is to collect all 7 textbooks scattered around a maze-like map & not get caught by the player playing baldi. idk if this is a baldi's basics clone cuz i never played the original LOL. mild unreality CW, the maze is confusing and can be a little backrooms-y. there's not meant to be jumpscares in this one but it happens.
find the markers: a search & find game about finding... markers! theyre so cute. this is very obviously a passion project :0)
realistic hand RP: you can play as a teeny tiny person or a big person, as a big person you can pick up big objects and the little people. i like this one because little kids like to pick me up and put me in the doll house and play with me like a doll, and it just warms my heart (and also gives me species, cuz yknow, i am a toypet lol)
work at a pizza place: self explanatory. you work at a pizza place & you can get coins to decorate and upgrade a house. my sibling and i have figured out ways to prank the other players on the server (in annoying but not malicious ways) and that can be really fun
cleaning simulator: gives me undertale vibes. also radicalized me as a communist /j. this is a contained experience where you play as a janitor and clean up a corporate building. there's tons of easter eggs and cool stuff to find. i cant remember any fourth wall breaks but i'd still give mild unreality for the undertale vibes. fun to play with friends.
raise a floppa: another contained experience, good to kill a couple hours. this one is very chaotic and difficult to explain but it's full of meme references and other pop culture references. big unreality CW for this one, as it features the backrooms, mentions of dark web, home invasion (technically. they're "bandit raids," not exactly home invasion), aliens, eventually religious over-themes, weirdcore/liminal imagery, i think some fourth wall breaks, etc. i was fine with this one other than the backrooms part, i made my sibling play that part for me LOL.
these ones are fairly popular from what i know & like i said i havent been playing for long. literally like 2 weeks LOL. i struggle to find ones i enjoy because i dont like roleplay and i dont really like grind-a-thons which is basically every single roblox game LOL. if they had a good dog/wolf RP one i might try it out but i havent been able to find one. there is a really really well made warriorcats one though.
the other global CW i'd give is multiplayer games like work at a pizza place, bee swarm, sometimes uno & baldi's have some uh... unkind people in them. the only good thing is 9 times out of 10 they're kids who get bored really fast, so if you ignore them for like 2 minutes they'll just leave and go to another server. still upsetting but just, yeah, dont engage LOL.

!!not supposed to be a vent but it might come off that way i cannot tell!1

i’m in the middle of a delusional episode which is made worse by the fact that i am self aware it is a delusional episode but i am in the backseat and my delusion is driving, do you have any tips for coping with delusional episodes this hasn’t happened a lot to me and its usually short unlike this so i do not know how to cope with it. any advice would be appreciated again i am sorry if this sounds like a vent, i am just scared and hoping you know good strategies to be less scared
specific advice varies & can depend on whatever delusion you're actually experiencing. i'll use persecutory delusions as an example because they're common:
but... playing into whatever your delusion wants you to do can really help. if your delusion is having a real-life stalker for example, closing the blinds, locking the doors, etc will make you feel better. i dont know how bad your double book keeping is, but telling yourself you DONT need to lock doors or close blinds won't help in calming you down. double book keeping is distressing and really sucks, and it isn't going to help you while in active psychosis. it's (metaphorically) just another negative voice in our head, there only to invalidate us or try to help us mask with nonpsychotics. even if you view your double book keeping as something to have a positive effect on you generally, while in a psychotic episode it will not serve you.
obviously, there are some limits for going along with delusions. i'd recommend trying not to do anything extreme, as more extreme things can have an opposite effect on us and bring the delusion more into our reality. locking the doors is one thing, but playing into feelings akin to agoraphobia is another, yknow?
best of luck my friend <3

feeling concerned over calling myself delusional since my delusions dont crop up very often but are very intense & wanting advice
whats the reason u dont like referring to urself as delusional if u dont mind my asking?
alternatives i like to use are "lives with delusions" or "lives in psychosis" etc

do you have any tips on dealing with persecutory delusions? i’m trying to fall asleep but my brain is making me panic that [my delusion] will come true (it’s 12am here) and i can’t ignore it and sleep
when i have persecutory delusions before i sleep i usually just get up and do things that i know will make me feel better. if i feel like theres A Monster in my room i just turn on the light or play music/be on my phone until the delusion has passed. basically i give into my delusional urges if i know it'll make me feel safer

You might not be the best person to ask about this but I don't know anybody else who I could ask for advice about paranoia related problems. How do I tell my friends that whenever they see me and I don't notice them that they should just say hi or whatever instead of taking a picture of me and then sending it to me with no context? I get the joke to the extent that I can but jeez it makes my paranoia like ten times worse whenever it happens. I mean this is a pretty specific situation but do you have any advice for telling the people around you that you can't handle something normal people can without explicitly telling them that I am psychotic?
you can probably just say what you said to me minus the personal details
"hey, can you guys not take pictures of me like that? its not very funny anymore and its kind of making me uncomfortable at this point"
setting boundaries doesnt require explinations. ur friends dont need to understand every detail of ur situation to be respectful of u

soooo i was a part of the first family pack cult stuff and other werewolf stuff similar to that before that but i am just now like realizing that ... yeah thats actually a cult... and trying to unlearn a bunch of stuff from that, do you have any tips or recommendations?
didnt see this until now, i guess my askbox is very backed up. sorry for the wait on a reply
i dont really though, sorry. to give a proper answer i'd need more info than "unlearning a bunch of stuff (which is vague /nm)" and i'm not going to press for it. either way, PTSD isn't really my area of research so even with more information i don't think i'd be the best at giving a helpful answer
