We Are Safer Together [Zombie Apocalypse Plot and Chat]

Lydia is open for some plotting!

Paris is up for plotting!

so is Harley! I think, as her schizo meds run out, she'll start having more and more hallucinations - particularly related to her PTSD, which could go along with really any other plot

Ooh yeah, Journey is up for plotting!

(Moving the conversation here so we don't block up the other thread, if you don't mind)

That's so cool! I first got into psych in an attempt to self-diagnose when I was 14, and proceeded to diagnose myself with everything before settling on C-PTSD and manic-depressive (aided by the fact that my sister has it, and it's genetic). Still awaiting professional opinion. Anyway, since then I've broadened my attention to all kinds of psychology including marketing psych.

That's cool!

I'm glad this group has a few people who understand this sort of disorder. It gets kind of depressing when everyone thinks I'm gonna kill anyone I come close to.

Oh, I feel that. I didn't know what the flip was wrong with me!! at least i wasn't the type to hurt others, i just found social interactions super difficult since I didn't really understand things that would upset people. I got diagnosed with it and a depressive disorder, so finding the right meds was hard...

Definitely seek professional help!! Just remember the right medication / form of therapy takes time to find, and it's ok to admit when it doesn't work for you. It's super helpful for both you and the doctor(s) who are trying to help you and even when it gets super frustrating and u wanna stop it all just remember that you will find the right treatment and ur life is gonna improve so much u won't even believe ur the same person. it's bonkers to compare myself from then to now!

mentally unwell people just have a way of migrating toward each other, especially online. I like it. makes ya feel a little more, ah, 'normal'?

Oh definitely. My family life is hard with- whatever i have, I remember one time I told my father i thought I was agoraphobic because being in large crowds is a surefire way to make me cry and hyperventilate, and he laughed and told me agoraphobia was a 'woe is me' diagnosis that introverts diagnose themselves with to get attention.

This is the general opinion on mental disorders in my house, so I definitely like talking with people who actually understand and respect psych disorders in general. Even if it's just in the background of the conversation or not brought up at all! <3

my mom used to be like that too tbh! but after several long discussions and a mutual love for true crime, she's become super supportive. stay strong, and hopefully you get out of that situation soon!! (Or it changes for you, as mine did!) I'm just a lucky gal with a supportive family in general. once i came out to them it's kind of been uphill

Thanks so much! Sorry for bringing the mood way down... It's a thing I do.

nah dude don't even worry about it! you didn't bring anything down. i'm happy to know more about your situation because i can provide whatever support i can muster when you need it c:

Thanks fam. It goes both ways too! If you need to talk, I'm a very good listener. Or, reader I suppose.

also, i have 6 cats and will happily send pics of them!! (and, at my mom's house, we have 3 dogs, 2 cats, and,,,, a lot of rats)

Aw so cute! My family's mostly allergic to furry animals, so my sister has a lizard, and it's pretty cool, but I'm partial to small furs. (Mice, hamsters, etc.. Notably not small dogs, they're scary.)

In other news, I'm so excited for this RP!

i had the best boi in the WORLD his name was FISH and he was awesome. he passed last year and i live in philly but i used to live in south jersey so i was used to being able to bury my pets,,,, soo,,,,,,, i uhhhh,,,, snuck into a graveyard that's next to my house in the middle of the night and buried him there. definitely the most 'psychotic' thing i've ever done tbh

Sneaking into a graveyard just to bury your pet literally almost made me cry. That is so cute and I would totally do it for either of my two cats Marty and Clay.

Honestly, that's so cute. I'm not antisocial and I would definitely do that.

I'm slightly antisocial.

A group larger than three people makes me shut down. (IRL, not online. Thankfully.)
