OSPD is a nightmare

[sanityshorror]

Devlin: I really love your personality-

Cian: thank you, it took four disorders to achieve it!

[plural-positive]

here's some positivity for systems with personality disorders!

systems with cluster a disorders, you are lovely and worthy of respect regardless of what people think about your "strange" behaviors! you will find a place to fit in and people who will care about you. you're not inherently weird because normal doesn't exist.

systems with cluster b disorders, you are amazing and worthy of kindness regardless of the demonization you face daily! you deserve and will find love, care, and attention just the same as everyone else does. your disorder does not make you an evil person or an abuser by default.

systems with cluster c disorders, you are brilliant and you deserve to feel safe in a world that is often quite terrifying to exist in. you make the world better just by being in it and no matter what anyone or your mind tells you, there is comfort and safety out there to be found.

systems with PD-NOS, OSPD, and UPD, you deserve the same positivity, community, and resources that other PD diagnoses receive! you belong to the discussion and do not deserve being left out. whatever traits you exhibit, you are still valid and you are still worthy and you still belong!!

been seeing interest crop up for a plural interpretation of grey wind/chasing wind, or making plural iterator ocs. this is great! as a system myself, i would like to offer some guiding questions and tips to non-systems to help out in their endeavors. please remember that i am one system and plurality varies VERY HEAVILY among people. other systems are free to comment and add their own tips. just dont turn this post into syscourse

i will use gw/cw as the most prevalent examples but this applies to any oc as well!

- alters are their own people in a lot of cases, not just "personalities". ask yourself, how does gw differ from cw? when presented with the same situation, how do each of them react? do they agree with each other or not? either way, what are their reasons?

- systems are rarely comprised of just two alters. it is not impossible, but very rare. most people notice plural symptoms at around 3 alters and people will on average have between 8-15 alters (but more is very much not unheard of!). think about how many alters gw/cw would have on top of each other

- alters may have different pronouns, sexuality, and ways they want to present themselves from each other. how do gw/cw and other alters differ from each other in this way, if at all?

- if gw/cw's physical body changes to represent who is fronting, was this an ability they had before realizing their plurality? in our world, we cannot change how we look outside of clothes and makeup. if gw/cw do not possess the ability to change physically, do either of them or any other alter feel uncomfortable or even dysphoric looking at their physical body?

- alters' relationships may vary heavily on the same person. how do gw/cw feel about a specific person? how are they the same or different? is one alter in a whole different kind of relationship with someone than another?

- how comfortable is gw/cw with telling others about their plurality? do only they know? their close friends? local group? anyone they come across? plurality is often personal, and is not a singular decision for any one alter in a system to make to tell others. it can be difficult for non-systems to understand what plurality is like (and in our world, cause mockery) so they may think it is easier to stay quiet about it

- plurality happens because of several different conditions. there is did, but there are also ospd-1a and 1b. i would highly recommend doing your own research on these different types of plurality. they each have different effects on memories, emotional state, even how defined the alters themselves. again, look into it

- if gw/cw have memory problems, do they have a way to get around it? private broadcasts? pearls? scratching on the walls? how do they talk to alters not co-concious with them?

- some systems may use role labels to identify themselves as having particular jobs to help/protect the system. these are roles such as host, caretaker, guardian, traumaholder, etc. do your research on this one. do any of these roles apply? or do gw/cw forgo these labels? (personally, we only use the term "host")

- headspace is a place in the mind where alters "live" (it's not a real residence, but it feels that way) headspace may be small, only representing co-conciousness, or very large, giving every alter a more "tangible" place to stay if not fronting. or headspace might not exist at all! (this is most common in systems who just found out about their plurality). what does headspace look like to them? keep in mind, headspace can really look like anything. for me at least, it looks mostly consistent. a few things may change about it or it may expand, but it's not like imagination where anything happens if you think about it

as a disclaimer i am not going to go in depth about trauma or sources in this post. it can get very personal very quickly. a general way i can put it is think of a long term source of stress and/or abuse that may be present in your iterator's life. handle the subject with care.

the best way to learn about the experiences of plurality is to ask people who are systems. as long as you are given consent, come in with genuine curiosity, and be as reasonable as you can, most systems will be okay with questions! it is like any other identity

a side: other ways to make plural iterators?

iterators do not share human anatomy or physiology. they will never perfectly be able to represent plurality like we have it in our world

but the unique characteristics of iterators can lend way into creative ideas that are similar to plurality! (but never, i want to stress, NEVER the same)

notably, several puppets in one can. if you remember that the body of the iterator is the structure, and the puppets are like the face, then you have several faces, personalities, people, in one body. my immunerators play around with this idea and i am sure there are other ways to get creative!

The lack of resources for people with paraphilic disorders is harrowing. I have spent so long searching for coping tools for disordered zoophilia (OSPD) and there's just nothing. I even reached out to clinicians and was told the only resource they knew of was therapy. I'm already in therapy lol...and it's also not the point. I wanted to be able to bring resources to this blog beyond my own experience. But it's starting to feel like there just isn't anything. 🫠

[tommyssupercoolblog]

OH I FORGOT TO TLAK ABOUT THE PERSONALITY DISORDER THING they gave me a final diagnosis of Other Specialized Personality Disorder.

What OSDD does for DID in being a "wastebasket" for people who don't hit the mark for DID but are still obviously dissociative, is what OSPD does for people who definitely have a personality disorder but can't quite be squeezed into a specific one for some reason.

The box I'm closest to is BPD but I still don't fit that enough for it to work because of some missing criteria, and If you made a map of personality disorders you'd see I still have symptoms kind of scattered all over the place, it's just most of them are CLOSE to BPD or in the box. So they couldn't classify me with anything else. Just... "Some Personality Disorder" but at least it's a diagnosis right? But yeah turns out that there won't be a follow up diagnosis of anything more specific, I'm staying here.

Also from what I can tell, the acronym OSPD not only has other things mapped to it, but also OTHER DISORDERS, including paraphilic disorders I think? So I can't even use the acronym unless I've specified already what it stands for. I'm going to have to specify every time which is a bit of a fuckin pain ngl.

Like the formula for other specified is O (other) S (specified) __ (first letter of disorder type) D (disorder), so anything that starts with a P could be OSPD unless they used more than one letter in that slot. And no one talks about Other Specified Personality Disorder so no one's heard of it either. I'm going to have to just say the whole really long name every time, and if they Google it via the acronym then they'll find multiple different things

I'm not unhappy with the diagnosis at all, I'm very glad I have it and sure it will help, I'm just annoyed that any time I talk about it I'm going to have to go "Other Specified Personality Disorder" with my clumsy ass hands and terrible at spelling brain and constantly misreading and mistyping and fucking up sentence or word order eyes/brain

[planesofdelusion]

My friend @misty-metropolis convinced me to make a post about OSDID and personality disorders.

So here's the thing: Personality Disorders are not a neurotype. You're not born with them, like you are with autism and ADHD. Most of them - the ones we know the causes for, at least - have ties to trauma. In other words, PDs are collections of trauma responses.

So here's my take: if different parts (in OSDID) can have different responses (such as one part being hypersexual and another being sex repulsed; one part being a fighter and another being a fleer) then different parts can have different personality disorders, even ones the body doesn't share.

Now, to be fair, I have OSPD. Some of my parts present more heavily with certain disorders, but most of my parts present with combinations of disorders I collectively have. But at the same time, I wholeheartedly believe that the way compartmentalization works in DID can make one particular part excessively avoidant, for example.

Not sure how to end this post tbh, I just wanted to put this out there.

[rabbid-rabbitt]

I am an adult (under 25). Any pronouns except it/its.

I am severely disordered and extremely blunt. I struggle with a wide variety of "ugly" /socially unacceptable symptoms which I will talk about on this blog. I am terrified of people but I appreciate mutual interaction <3

I am medicated and in therapy with a dissociative specialist. I focus heavily on my recovery and I'm lucky to have a very strong support system.

I vent/rant about being a victim of SRA/CRA, Sex trafficking/CSA, TBMC/programming, neglect, forced perpetration. Trigger warning for all of these on this blog. Graphic posts will have warnings but general ones won't.

MINORS, PRO ED/SH, NSFW BLOGS, RADQUEER, PRO/COMPLEX CONTACT, ISREAL SUPPORTERS, TERF/GENDER CRITICAL, RIGHT WING DNI! I block very liberally even if you're not on this list, no one will annoy me on my own blog.

I am transgender and queer - labels tend to vary based on alter.

I alternate between I/we, system/pwDID, and alter/part language. Never refer to us as headmates, you&, plural or multiple.

I am medium support needs autistic with C-DID, GAD, Agoraphobia, MDD, and CPTSD which are all professionally diagnosed. I suspect OSPD with NPD, HPD, PPD, AVPD traits. I have several physical disorders as well. I am disabled and have a caretaker.

I like writing, worldbuilding, scrapbooking, colouring, psychology, witchcraft, JJBA, Persona 5, Sylvanian Families, LPS, Sanrio, Muse, Melanie Martinez, Twenty One Pilots and Hamilton.

I am pro educated self diagnosis, pro the right to die and supportive of paraphiles who are anti contact. I am psych critical, an intersectional feminist and a socialist. I really enjoy discussions about these topics!!

I am against the censorship of fiction however we need to consume media critically. I believe fiction can be a healthy way of coping however I consider myself ship neutral because there is issues with both sides of this. I am also neutral in syscourse and queer discourse, if it's not harming people then I don't care.

i am a shapeshifting monster (gargoyle) and a volken, a wolf-like canine originally described by myself. (sometimes i say "wolf" to make it easier for others to understand.) my nonhumanity is a part of every aspect of my life, including physically, mentally, and sexually.

i'm a dio fictive. it doesn't come up on this blog often as it's not a large part of my identity, but it is something to note. i also selfship with him and i will block you if you do, too. he is just as much of a partner to me as my real-world mate is.

i also strongly identify with (but not as) plushes, computers, bearded vultures, thylacines, domestic cats, and every member of the hyaenidae family.

i don't mind being referred to as a human/person in neutral contexts provided that you understand, on a deeper level, i'm not one.

i am a paraphile. i would never hurt a real, living being, but if my attraction makes you uncomfortable, please block me.

Masochistic / Self-Defeating Personality Disorder (Ma/SDPD)

Note: You cannot be diagnosed with this disorder, as it's not in any diagnostic manual; you would be diagnosed with Other Specified Personality Disorder instead.

Criteria from the DSM-III-R (1987):

A. A pervasive pattern of self-defeating behavior, beginning by early adulthood and present in a variety of contexts. The person may often avoid or undermine pleasurable experiences, be drawn to situations or relationships in which he or she will suffer, and prevent others from helping him or her, as indicated by at least five of the following:

chooses people and situations that lead to disappointment, failure, or mistreatment even when better options are clearly available

rejects or renders ineffective the attempts of others to help him or her

following positive personal events (e.g., new achievement), responds with depression, guilt, or a behavior that produces pain (e.g., an accident)

incites angry or rejecting responses from others and then feels hurt, defeated, or humiliated (e.g., makes fun of spouse in public, provoking an angry retort, then feels devastated)

rejects opportunities for pleasure, or is reluctant to acknowledge enjoying himself or herself (despite having adequate social skills and the capacity for pleasure)

fails to accomplish tasks crucial to his or her personal objectives despite demonstrated ability to do so, e.g., helps fellow students write papers, but is unable to write his or her own

is uninterested in or rejects people who consistently treat him or her well, e.g., is unattracted to caring sexual partners

engages in excessive self-sacrifice that is unsolicited by the intended recipients of the sacrifice

B. The behaviors in A do not occur exclusively in response to, or in anticipation of, being physically, sexually, or psychologically abused.

C. The behaviors in A do not occur only when the person is depressed.

About Ma/SDPD

Ma/SDPD is similar to avoidant, dependent, obsessive-compulsive, depressive / melancholic, negativistic / passive-aggressive and borderline PDs. It's part of what Millon & Bloom term the "Compliant Personality Patterns", along with OCPD, DPD & HPD.

Differential diagnoses include ongoing abuse, anxiety disorders, somatic disorders, and mood disorders.

The most common PD comorbidities with Ma/SDPD are AsPD (22.17%), Depressive / Melancholic PD (16.74%), & SzPD (12.22%). The least common was HPD (4.07%). Less than 8 percent (7.24%) had only ("pure") Ma/SDPD [much higher than those who had pure Negativistic / Passive-Aggressive, Depressive / Melancholic and Sadistic PDs] (Millon & Bloom).

Millon defines it on a spectrum from aggrieved -> masochistic (self-defeating) (Millon Personality Group); or alternatively from abused [personality type] -> aggrieved [style] -> self-defeating [disorder] (Millon). It also exists on a spectrum from self-sacrificing -> yielding -> masochistic (Millon, ed.).

Originally called masochistic PD, the name was changed to self-defeating PD in the DSM-III-R "to avoid the historic association of the term masochistic with older psychoanalytic views of female sexuality and the implication that a person with the disorder derives unconscious pleasure from suffering" (DSM-III-R). However, Millon & Bloom write that the specific name chosen is pointless, because "all personality disorders are “self-defeating.”"

Childhood trauma is a predisposing factor (DSM-III-R).

Herman argues that Ma/SDPD is a misdiagnosis of Complex PTSD, due to victim blaming and sexism (she also argues the same for Dependent and Histrionic PDs).

In the DSM-III-R it was described as being characterised by “ubiquitous self-defeating behavior such as repeatedly entering into unsatisfying and hurtful relationships, avoiding opportunities for pleasure, rejecting relationships with seemingly caring people, and repeatedly rendering ineffective reasonable efforts by others to help the person" (Coolidge & Segal).

Ma/SDPD "is a mixing or confusion of the usual pleasure-seeking drive with the pain avoidance. As a result, these individuals appear to create personal and social discomfort in their lives. Although it is often reported that they seem to feel comfortable only with guilt and shame, they are also believed to use their self-deprecation as a social strategy to gain support from others" (Millon & Bloom).

In Ma/SDPD, "the individual experiences what is emotionally painful as a means of fulfilling his or her survival aims" (Millon, ed.).

Ma/SDPD only ever appeared in the appendix of the DSM-III-R, and it was dropped because it was associated with 'feminine sexual submissiveness' (Millon, ed.).
