Psychosis IS...

• A clinical term. In the most simplistic and accurate definition possible I can muster up, it means seeing hallucinations and having delusions.
• Psychosis is basically the textbook definition of madness/insanity (often outsiders and people who've never been HERE don't like that wording, but this is JUST MY OPINION.)
• Psychosis is a state of being you can experience if you have either of the disorders, bipolar type 1 or schizophrenia.
• Yes, an overwhelm amount of people purportedly experience a 'psychosis' from bad drug 'trips'. (I have never done drugs and am personally skeptical whether drug users have REALLY have experienced anything like the natural psychosis I have, but whatever thats another can of worms.)
• Psychosis usually happens as a reaction to severe trauma, often in ones youth. (In my case, I lost my mum to cancer and it 'set me off'.)
• With the actual disorders, people get put on meds and most become sane again.
• Yes, you can recover from psychosis and pass as 'normal' again.
• Psychotic experiences can range from being batshit terrifying to being full of pleasure, but they are different for everyone.
• Psychosis is a mystery. Doctors still tell me they're bewitched by it, but it's not their story to tell.

Psychosis is NOT...

• It is NOWHeRE close to a synonym for EVIL, KILLER OR 'PSYCHO' OR ANYTHING ELSE THAN A CLINICAL TERM STATED ABOVE.
• NOT the same as the word 'psychopath', like bruh.....
• Being psychotic do NOT mean you are neccesarily violent OR EVIL.
• Most psychotic sufferers scrapbook and do crosswords until they're well. I've met them. I was one.
• Psychosis in iteself will never mean you're going to murder someone. You need to read my comics if you really don't get it by now.
• Many people can have happy and/or peaceful delusions and hallucinations and would never hurt a fly. You just don't see them stabbing people on the news, so you don't hear about the good ones.
• it DOES NOT MEAN YOU HAVE A WEAKNESS; in mind, character, soul or spirit. Despite what imbecilic asshats keep purpetuating.
• Psychosis does NOT make you broken. You can recover.

Q: Why should I care about 'mad' people when they're on the news for murdering people?

A: It's not psychotic people. It's Incel Violence.

As a society, we are not doing enough to explain in laymans terms to the masses, how there is a darkness in the human heart, something that isn't the state of 'insanity' all alone. It seems to make people uncomfy to think that there is a nameless evil. Something so nasty that is stabs and shoots others just for its own gratification.

But it does have a name. A really well known one, actually.

They're called Incels. A crappy and pathetic group of people who call themselves 'involuntary celibates', aka. men mad that women don't give them sex.

They are actually the ones killing people. Lets talk a moment about the rampant misanthrophy and (because they're usually men) misogyny. They are recounted as having a deep hatred of women, because of their huge frustrations & fixations on their unsatifying sex lives. Ultimately, they make it very clear with their shootings and stabbings, that they are massively alienated and detached from reality, unable to feel love. They live like gremlins in the deep dark caves of the internet and don't seem to have a balanced sense of that fact that other normal humans don't owe them their bodies.

We as a society, are raising killers....

But the media just tosses a sick, sick SICK blanket over every gruesome story. They just tell everyone these killers have 'mental health issues'.

Drastically oversimplifying, because they aren't brave enough to call a spade a spade; to call them an evil, hateful person (usually obsessed with katanas, mind you.) though these people deserve it...

We don't talk about the dangers of unchecked aggression in men for some reason...

People that never learnt real empathy, to actually care about other people before they try to stab someone. They seem demand others 'love' them but have never learnt how to feel and give 'love'.

Why do we ignore the masses of good past-psychotic people who DO know empathy? Who sit at home, watching this shit, HAVING NEVER committed any atrocities?

There are people out there that purely lack empathy and have underlying MESSED UP SHIT HAPPENING IN THEIR HEADS. E.g. They are sociopaths, unable to feel empathy. In case you don't get it, psychosis is not the motivating factor or root cause of their evil acts. They are not experiencing FBI agents in the ceiling above, or aliens bewstowing them 'god powers', nor are they running around babbling with starry eyes and a big smile. If they were, they would be having too much fun to even think about stabbing someone or shooting up little kids.

Don't get me started on the 'aspergers' protective effect. The eqully uncomfy idea that neurodivergents can do no wrong. Sigh...See Sandy Hook Elementary wiki page.

Incels is a more suitable word that describes an evil, harmful, mentality. They beleive they deserve their fantasies gratified, they lack empthy.

While 'psychosis' does make you 'loopy' I still felt empathy for others. In fact, I felt too much empathy in my case...

What I'm trying to get at is, that TRUE EVIL is never the psychotic experience of delusions or hallucinations.

True EVIL is picking up a knife and stabbing innocent people in a Bondi mall, just because you can't get laid.

This may make you uncomfy, because you don't want to think that people use their unsated sex drive energy to commit such evil, but they DO. (You do not recognize the nature of human evil until you accept that libido is behind like EVERYTHING, hey I guess Freud did something right!~)

Being completely lucid and cruelly killing people, is NOT the nature of PSYCHOSIS YOU GUYS. Its called sociopathy. Stop blaming everything on misunderstood disorders you don't understand.

JUST watch and listen to the NEWS. YOu will see recurring themes, they're always INCELS, but the NEWS NEVER SAYS IT ANYMORE.

True evil exists outside of insanity.

NEVER in psychosis itself.

I get that maybe you've never met someone like me, a 'mentally ill' person who isn't mousey about my experiences. Just a little person who thinks I'm not alone in saying that my stories are worth making into comics. But I'm here to stay, so get used to it.

If this doesn't convince you to rethink your unease with the word 'psychotic' at least a little bit, I'm sorry you're so blind.
