Not that it really matters, because this is an rp filled with creativity. But Anastasia doesn't really fit into Schizophrenia I think. Of course everyone's symptoms are different, but generally someone with Schizophrenia the main issue is psychosis. Which means their judgement and perception are shattered. It's very unlikely that a schizo would be looked upon as likable and normal if they aren't undergoing intense treatment. Which if hallucinations and delusions are still occurring, the person is not taking their medication. It's a terrible idea for her counselor to let her go off and live on her own. If she were in remission for two or three years then it would be understandable (most female schizos can live on normally with the proper medication and support as long as they aren't isolating themselves. Which is very common in schizos. Men tend to uhh...dive off the deep end more frequently and never return)

People with antisocial disorder are the ones you have to watch out for. Those are your serial killers because they feel no emotion, but they are really good at blending in with society and being well liked. Kind of ironic though because antisocial is generally the term people use when they see an introvert or someone being shy. But AS disorder is exactly the opposite. They should really change the name. Anyways, Anastasia's sweet mannered and hard working personality is not typical for someone with Schizophrenia. It's very difficult for someone to complete daily tasks and socialize with others properly. It can be done but it takes time. And being that most psychiatrists or therapists will not diagnose someone with schizo until the early 20's I assume she would sort of just be starting out with major symptoms. As schizophrenia is a very slow brain disorder, where you won't be likely to see symptoms until adulthood 18-30. Males tend to develop symptoms quicker and can show symptoms as early as 16. You won't wake up one day and be diagnosed with schizo. Typically people show signs of anxiety disorder, panic disorder, and seclusion before actually being diagnosed with schizo. Anxiety disorders have the potential to evolve into schizo. But it's so close to other disorders like Schizotypal, Schizoid, AS, and other forms of personality disorder it's very uncommon for someone to be diagnosed with it in general. Though there are about 500 cases in the USA each year. I think thats about 1 percent If I remember correctly idk I'm bad at math. Anastasias degree in school actually matches my own lol. But I'm also minoring in forensic studies and psychology. Been taking a lot of abnormal psych classes and criminalistics so I just had to lecture a bit.

If you've ever seen the movie A beautiful mind, it portrays a schizo quite well. Only two things I would say are incorrectly portrayed about the disorder is that a person cannot overcome Schizo at any time with will power alone, and that the main character saw his hallucinations as detailed people, which is highly inaccurate as schizo see hallucinations in disfigured forms, demons, even cartoons or drawings. To see someone so detailed doesn't really happen. Which also reminds me of anastasias pets. It's more realistic if she had real pets and imagined they were talking to her. Or if she imagined she had pets but could never find them but still put out food for them, made excuses they were at the vet, etc. For her to see them so clearly enough to believe they were real, I can only imagine she has gone WAY over the deep end and is off her meds completely, and she probably couldn't function at all without messing something up. Like she might be out accidentally killing people, she would stop taking care of the space around her entirely, believe aliens were invading. People with that level of hallucinations would see the world differently . They would walk into a room and see it as a clean environment, perhaps mansion fancy, when in reality they are living in a place so filthy and dank it could be nominated for a haunted house.

Another movie that's a nice example is "The Voices". Though some parts are iffy on realiticness, as most mental disorder movies are to appeal to viewers, it's still a good perception on how drastically a person with serious hallucinations can see the world when they are on medication versus when they aren't.

Again, I'm not saying you have to change your character at all, it's an rp so I implore we all express our creativity however we want. But just to let out know some insights~ you can only imagine my frustration when I meet people who say they have antisocial personality disorder and to excuse their shyness , when I'm like uhh do you even know what that means
-__- . It's different to say you are antisocial versus you have antisocial disorder. Which I myself was guilty of never knowing until I took my heap of psych classes. Now I'm off to do homework Don't murder me I hope I didn't come off as bitchy or something T.T

Oh wow this is a lot longer than i thought it was from my phone. Now I just feel like erasing it all >.>

Well, it seems once the dinner and portal events are wrapped up, we'll be ready. So, it's on spookie right now for the portal event. I dunno who you're waiting on for the dinner party.

Violetti I'm fully aware of what exactly Schizophrenia is. This is a romanticized version of it

I actually know quite a lot about various mental illnesses, and playing a regular schizophrenic wouldn't be as fun I'll also be honest, I didn't read your entire post XD

The mind itself is of great interest to me. I'm currently going to school for my BA in Psychology, with the intent of eventually getting a PhD. Still not sure if I want to go into the science or clinical career of Psychology though, both interest me.

But imagine trying to play an actual schizophrenic in a story like this. It wouldn't work out very well, at least if they had any real symptoms at all XD Kinda like how Sasha is super OCD about cleanliness in her room. Do you really think there's enough time in the day to make sure everything is entirely spotless and free from dust?

I play romanticized versions of things, because I can get reality in real life, which is boring, by the way. That's why I practically live on the internet

It's Saturday, and I did have a time skip planned for today, but I am moving it up to next Saturday, or until every loose end are finished. If you don't think you would be able to continue, please tell me. I am very much aware that Finals are still going on and your personal lives come first, but I just want to gauge where we stand.
Thanks, and let's hope that you all got this notification.​

I am still staying in this rp. I was writing my Pluto reply and then none of it was saved so I'm just trying to spit a shorter one out. Heck I might even shorten it alot.

And I've only just joined the RP reacently! Because my finals are still a ways away (two weeks from now) I can certainly stay active until then.

I always found experimental psychology interesting. One of my psych professors teaches mice how to play basketball. It's pretty cute.

Yup, still active. My semester ended so finals are over for me xD I start summer semester in about two-three weeks from now so I'll still have time.

I once trained an army of squirrels to fight the Soviet Union. That's why we have Russia now instead.

 

[Quillicious]

i'm still here, just without any interaction.
prolly cause i've written myself into a little hole, and Ollie isn't really the most social person out there because...
i'll reveal it later.
just sayin', KarenAKAMint
i'm still interested.

 

[Genjiomnom]

I've written both my characters in a way that they can end up interacting with anyone. Sasha can just accidentally teleport anywhere I want, and Anastasia can have Jarde tell her to do whatever I want as well

I always try to balance out anti-social tendencies with ways to interact with others. Otherwise you don't really partake in the story much D:

I actually really like the idea of Sarah having her own portal device; it's pretty wacky, but it's that wackiness that makes it fit in the RP in my opinion!

Speaking about Sarah, I had this pretty crazy thought for a story arc where she could build some kind of invention that allows her to look into people's dreams XD.

I got this thought from an episode I watched of Scooby Doo: Mystery Inc. where the villain builds this machine that allows to go into people's dreams to terrorize them .

 

[Genjiomnom]

Firstly, it's Sasha Secondly, I don't think she has an interest in people's dreams. She just kinda figures everyone thinks like she does.

Lol XD

I really like to throw around ideas occasionally; expesually in some of my classes at school or just for fun. I also meant to say Sasha, but due to it being 11:20pm where I am, I'm drowsier than my cat... and all he does is sleep! XD

 

[Genjiomnom]

Totally down for ideas! Keep em coming! But I also have to stay true to Sasha. And I don't think she cares about what anyone dreams about XD

 

[Magical Squid Senpai]

Oh I also forgot that I am still working on James character sheet and just editing Pluto's personality. Just some small things!
Also I keep thinking up cute little secrets about my characters that may never even make it into the rp lol.
Why am I like this...

 

[FrazzledFox]

I live! I will catch up soon, worn the fuck out on my drive back so don't expect a post tonight sorry!

Welcome back!

 

[KarenAKAMint]

Heads up, I will not be online tomorrow since I will be out of the country visiting family for Mexican mother's day and my birthday.

 

[Genjiomnom]

Happy B-Day Dood!

 

[Quillicious]

don't get abducted/killed by the cartel.
happy b-day.

 

[DestinyGuy3712]

Happy B-day, KarenAKAMint

And also, would it be okay if Marco ended up getting a job at the complex, cleaning rooms, vacuuming, plunging toilets, etc.?

 

[Quillicious]

aw man now Ollie needs a surefire way to do an interaction.
