The academic literature lacks first-person accounts of #catatonia in #psychosis. I wrote this piece with the aim of increasing understanding of what it feels like - using poetry to bring the sensory, experiential side to the forefront. #LivedExperience #MadStudies #MentalHealth
'This poetic mediation explores catatonia from a personal perspective and sensory geography, including its interrelationships with trauma survival, threat responses, and the use of catatonia to create a safe harbor.' Catatonic Cocoon by @fairysatellite imsj.org/wp-content/uploads/…

If u truly support disabled, queer, trans, bipoc then that means doing more than putting a hashtag in your bio, showing support by reposting "love who you love," and making words sound nice and caring but never turning that into something more, something more direct and tangible.
