Schizophrenia playlist
descwiption
All
All songs, listed in order as they appear in the playlist itself.
Psychosis
For songs which cover the experiences of psychosis either in general, or specific delusions/hallucinations; more broadly, it also includes songs which convey quasi-psychosis or subthreshold psychotic experiences and magical thinking, the way psychosis feels to experience in a more phenomenological manner, coping with psychotic experiences, and the relationship one has to their own psychoses.
Negative symptoms
For songs which cover the experiences of avolition, anhedonia, asociality & social withdrawal, blunted and/or flat affect, and alogia.
Cognitive symptoms
For songs which cover the experiences of executive dysfunction, brainfog, and difficulties with processing speed, cognitive flexibility, short and longterm memory, learning, reasoning and problem solving, and social cognition.
Disorganization
For songs which convey the experiences of disorganized speech and behavior; both included here are direct portrayals of disorganized symptoms and the way it feels to experience (how 'illogicality' comes to feel logical). I was initially considering explicitly sorting songs which display macroassociative cognitive styles here, but songwriting (i.e. poetry with noise behind it) tends to naturally lean into abstract processes, so I suppose that flavor is only listed here if the song is metacognizing about it.
Catatonia
For songs which convey the experiences of catatonia, the internal struggle of being aware but unable to respond, the sense disconnect between body and mind during catatonic episodes, and the intense emotions resulting from such experiences.
Interpersonal differences
For songs which convey the experiences of how certain symptoms alter the way one relates to and/or directly communicates others, the perception of relationships as abstract and the feeling of distance even in physical company, how social isolation is generally not percieved as a "symptom" and the perceptions which lead it to be more ego-syntonic, and the difficulties of maintaining interpersonal relationships which often feel confusing, overwhelming, and threatening.
Ipseity disturbances
For songs which convey the experience of ipseity disturbances of self-disorder (the diminished sense of one's minimal self which informs that one's experiences are their own), the unstable boundary between what is internal and external, the sense of autonomy and ownership over one's experiences, lacking of identity, hyperreflexivity and rumination that stem from this diminished sense.
DID playlist
de de diescrtiptionnnnnn
All
All songs, listed in order as they appear in the playlist itself.
Complex trauma & adaptation
Not solely for songs which describe events of trauma, but the emotional toll which comes with severe, ongoing, and/or unpredictable trauma, the intense emotional and behavioral schemas that can result as adaptations, the internal adaptations made to such experiences and core beliefs about the self or others or world which form around them, the coping mechanisms developed in response, the differences in how interpersonal relationships are approached in response, and the rumination on the past and the struggle with living in the present.
Structural dissociation
For songs which convey specifically the mechanisms of structural dissociation: how the self compartmentalizes itself and how this compartmentalized self is navigated by its individual pieces, what maintains and what challenges dissociative barriers between parts, and the purpose or role which structural dissociation serves in life.
Amnesia
For songs which convey dissociative amnesia in all its forms (the stereotypical "blackout" amnesia, grey-outs or partial recollections, and emotional amnesia i.e. not recalling the emotional aspects or the reasons for behaving the way you did at the time), the fragmentation of memory and recalling events in pieces, the subjective feeling of what it is like to not remember, the experience of other parts of yourself having more recollection or knowledge than you do about "your own life," the emotions that come as a result of awareness of being unaware, and the way life is lead without full recollection and adaptations made around memory disturbances.
Parts
For songs which convey the experiences of having parts (commonly called "alters" or "headmates", but 'parts' is used since it is the direct term from the theory of structural dissociation, and can also extend to parts of the personality which are not full-blown alters such as fragments), the relationships parts form between themselves, the ways certain parts approach others in interactions and the roles different parts play in the survival of the whole person, and songs which can be interpreted as interactions between different parts.
Identity confusion
For songs which convey not the experience of having multiple parts, but the confusion that stems from the awareness of multiple parts, the troubles of telling who you are at any given moment, confusion about your place in the world and what the future looks like, and the toll of keeping track of all of the parts you can be at any given moment.
Polyfragmentation
For songs which convey experiences associated with polyfragmentation or complex DID, such as more severe amnesia, an overreliance of dissociation as a coping mechanism, a vivid and expansive inner world, splitting new parts easily under stress (sometimes several in a short time or from a single event), having many parts which aren't fully developed alters ('fragments'), having many subsystems, intricate internal relationships, epochal divisions (where most or all parts form anew in response to major life changes), a "pain-phobic" orientation (parts being highly avoidant of pain, excessively shielding other parts from experiencing pain, lower capacity for tolerating painful experiences, etc), as well as songs which convey the overwhelming nature of having such a complex internal structure and keeping track of everything and the feeling of impossibility when confronted with how many parts there are and how much trauma there is to heal from.
Integration & Healing
As a complex response to trauma, DID is not solely about pain and suffering and division, but the journey of healing from such. These are songs which convey the experiences of overcoming trauma, integrating parts (lowering dissociative barriers between parts, whether that means vastly improving communication to functionally limit amnesia and infighting/disagreement/other dysfunction between parts or 'fusion' where multiple parts condense into one), and the re-processing of traumatic life events in an adaptive and healthy manner such that helps with living in the present.
