Hahahah, I Almost Forgot To Post This.

I’ve completely startled myself. Do you realize how short a month is? Like I’m trying to finish something by beginning of November. Oh, I’ve got month and a half. No biggy. No. That’s five weeks. Five weeks And weeks are shockingly short. I mean, I’ve been in school for what, three weeks? And I feel like I started a week ago. I DON’T HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO FINISH THIS!! Not with 12 hours of coding homework every week!

So I started publishing Faded Gold like four weeks ago... But I didn’t mention it. So I’m mentioning it now.

Quotev Wattpad

I have a reminder to publish Tuesdays and Thursdays. Time unspecified. But really, just expect two chapters every week. Because sometimes life and school gets ahead of me in every possible way you can think of.

It’s just a giant mountain pile of things to do. But it’s fine, because on the other side of that mountain is depression. So we keep slowly chipping at the mountain because if we don’t, it’ll get bigger and depression will try to walk around it. But it we keep chipping at it, depression will sit there and wait, expecting it to eventually be gone and then it doesn’t have to do any work to get to me. ....... I’m going to go prove to myself I remember CSS from five years ago, now.

Oh, something random (since I started and don’t want to keep doing homework right now), I’ve been watching the Tumblr Sexyman stuff on Twitter that’s happening. I don’t have Twitter, but it’s a ton of fun to watch. I’ll probably draw who I’m voting for based on how he places. All I know when writing this is the character I’ve been voting for the entire time is in the final two. What am I doing with my life

I’m also working on another larger project. I’m 80% done, and will be posting that for Undertale’s Anniversary (Sep 15) because determination to complete something by the time I want to.

I need the motivation boost...

OKay back to homework now.

Toriel (OCD)

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder

Stereotypes:

It has to be clean

~

Real:

Not everyone with OCD is a “clean freak”. While it’s true that some people obsess with it having to be clean, it’s possible to just like things clean without having OCD. It becomes OCD when it’s very repetitive and disrupts normal life.

A common obsession is washing and rewashing hands, or checking locks/switches multiple times in a room. Many, if not most, people with OCD know/believe their obsessions are really not something they should worry about a lot, but they have little control of it.

Not following through with their obsession can cause very deep panic and trouble.

I’ve seen a lot of posts on my dash tonight about users who are threatening suicide, with other Tumblr members posting in effort to try to get ahold of them. I think you all should see this:

IF THERE IS EVER A TUMBLR USER WHO HAS POSTED A GOOD-BYE MESSAGE, SUICIDE NOTE, VIDEO, OR ANYTHING OF THE SORT, PLEASE FOLLOW THIS POST.

1. Scroll to the top of your dashboard.

2. See the circular question mark icon at the top? It’s the third one over from your home symbol. Click on that, and a screen similar to the one in the picture will come up.

3. Where you can type in questions, the box with the magnifying glass at the top, type in the word “suicide.”

4. Click on the first link that shows up. It should say, “Pass the URL of the blog on to us.”

5. Type in the user’s URL and tell Tumblr admin that the user is contemplating suicide and has posted a message indicating that they are going through with it or will be attempting. Hit send! Tumblr administration will perform a number of actions to contact the user and take the necessary steps to prevent the suicide.

TUMBLR: THIS COULD SAVE A USER’S LIFE. PLEASE DO NOT IGNORE SUICIDE THREATS.

Reblog this to keep other users aware. Suicide isn’t a joke, and neither is someone’s life. If you didn’t know this, someone else may not, either. Pass it on.

Sans (Self-Injury)

Addiction to Self-Harm

Stereotypes: 

I hurt myself, therefore I’m Suicidal.

I always hurt myself using a knife.

I can stop whenever I feel like it.

~

Real:

Not everyone who hurt themselves wants to die. A lot of people hurt themselves because the just want to feel something, or it temporarily fills a hole inside them. Many because they feel like they don’t have control, and hurting themselves gives them just a little bit back.

     Once I was talking to a friend who use to scratch themselves. I remember asking them if it was worth it. I don’t remember fully what they said because it was a few years ago, but it was along the lines of “If you mean it fills the emptiness inside and makes me feel normal, then yes.” They moved, so I don’t know if their answer would have changed.

     My own experience, I used to forced myself to stay awake. It made me feel in control of a life I thought I had zero say in what happened. Was it worth it? Yeah. It allowed me to get over my insomnia. There was a cost, though. When my sleep schedule gets messed up, it takes weeks to repair. So would I do it again? No.

There are many ways people hurt themselves. Self harm means anything you do to intentionally sabotage yourself. This can be anywhere from burning and cutting, to something as simple as not letting yourself sleep.

Self harm can become an addiction. There’s a reason why I have Sans as Addiction to Self-Harm. Like I said above, it does something that the person likes. And it can be hard to see the downside of it. It can become an addiction. You can’t just take an addiction away. It can destroy people further.

My name is Jada or JadaE, I’m female, pronouns are she/her.

I am not diagnosed with any mental illness/condition (I use these words interchangeably) even though I could as I identify strongly with some of these conditions. I mostly haven’t for personal reasons... Please please be careful in self-diagnosing. It’s quite dangerous to do. If you think you might have something, please talk to a doctor.

Enough about me.

Neurosistale was made to show people what certain illnesses actually are. I try not to use any stereotypes. The characters are quite vague in their personalities, symptoms, etc, which is used only to allow people to identify with the characters. Everyone has different symptoms so I try to keep it vague.

I've gone through so many versions and so many plans, story plots, character designs, and a whole bunch more and... I decided not to make a story for Neurosistale. However, the characters are always open for asks unless stated otherwise on their ref.

I guess the Neurosistale characters are going to be more of a support group than an AU. Feel free to talk to them and avoid anything too dark, because these will be shared with me and all of Tumblr.

And let's be honest here, I'm not a therapist. I haven't gone to school studying this stuff (other than PSY 1010). I'm going off the internet, books, YouTubers, and my own personal experiences. I'm only here wanting to help people.

There is, my own version of each of the characters in which they have actual personalities, symptoms, and detail. They also would have more specific subcategories of their illness (which may or may not make sense). I may refer to this version as Specified!Neurosistale

(Read below for links, schedules, and more info)

Characters' Stories (Specified!Neurosistale):

Neurosistale (Quotev)

Neurosistale (Wattpad)

For The Female Multiverse (FM)... The Authors' Note is the best explanation for it, just read that.

The Female Multiverse

This is something that I helped Taffy with, the FM belongs to Taffy (@mimi-ikfrea). She had the idea, I helped her with forming it into a story. This AU is not mine but I will answer most Asks about it.

Times are based on Mountain Standard/Daylight Time.

If I post anything, it'll be at 7:30am or 7:30pm

One last thing. I don't plan to post much that's not Neurosistale or The Female Multiverse. I'll have seven main tags, I'll put them below. Also, a note, SNT stands for Specified!Neurosistale.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(Tag breakdowns)

This is the only post that contains ALL tags.

Neurosistale : Comics/stories/ideas of the Neurosistale characters.

SNT : Comics/stories/ideas of the Specified!Neurosistale characters, or, things that might happen but aren’t canon.

CanonSNT : Anything that would be canon in the Specified!Neurosistale stories.

NeurosisRefs : Refs to both SNT and Neurosistale. The only difference in appearance, Neurosis characters have halos around their head. SNT characters don’t.

NeurosisRibbons : The “Support Group” side of Neurosistale (Please keep these Anon). Will sometimes reblog. Likelihood of needing/having trigger warnings.

These are old and irrelevant. Current refs are under NeurosisRefs

She doesn't always have the white eyes. They actually only appear when she's really happy.

River is an Empath.

An Empath is someone who has very high amounts of empathy. Often to the point of feeling other people's emotions. And it's often hard for them to tell if the emotions they feel belong to themselves, or to someone else.
