Who ate the thing I'm allergic to ;-;

How living with DID/OSDD is presented in the media, sometimes even by systems themselves: Dangerous, everything is bad, constant misery.

How living with DID/OSDD actually is: WHO ATE MY PASTA?! JARED?!?!?!

(This is entirely satire and a joke for my fellow systems, not downplaying, overgeneralizing, or making fun of experience)

[the-froggiess]

systems who don't have different handwriting and systems who don't have different speech styles and systems who don't have different food preferences and systems who don't have any of the traditionally/medically noted differences between members i love you and you are valid and real and perfect just the way you are

[the-froggiess]

so nice having alters with names i personally don't like. i would never choose this name. but i didn't - they're an alter an chose that name themselves. it's reassuring

Shoutout to the voices in my head. Yall are real ones

[the-froggiess]

hi there, please remember that:

people with NPD are not inherently abusive or manipulative, and "narcissistic abuse" isn't a thing -- just say "abuse."

people with BPD are not inherently abusive or manipulative

people with schizophrenia, psychosis, or DID are not inherently dangerous murderers or criminals

feel free to add on <3

Demystifying Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID)

Let's dive into a topic that often remains misunderstood and stigmatized: Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID). 💭💡

🧠 What is DID? Dissociative Identity Disorder, formerly known as Multiple Personality Disorder, is a complex mental health condition where an individual's identity is fragmented into two or more distinct personality states, often referred to as "alters" or "parts." Each alter may have its own distinct characteristics, memories, and even names.

❓ What Causes DID? The exact cause of DID is still under investigation, but it is generally believed to result from severe childhood trauma, often involving physical, emotional, or sexual abuse. The mind creates alters as a coping mechanism to deal with overwhelming trauma and protect the core identity.

🔄 Switching and Co-consciousness: Switching refers to the transition between different alters, while co-consciousness is when two or more alters are aware of each other's presence. These experiences can vary widely between individuals with DID.

🚧 Common Misconceptions:

DID is not the same as schizophrenia. They are distinct disorders with different symptoms and causes.

People with DID are not "faking" or "acting." It's a genuine psychological condition.

Media portrayals of DID often sensationalize and perpetuate stereotypes. Real-life DID is far more nuanced.

🌈 Support and Healing: Supporting someone with DID is crucial. It's essential to be patient, empathetic, and non-judgmental. Therapy, particularly trauma-informed therapy, is a vital component of the healing process. Recovery can be a long and challenging journey, but it's possible with the right resources and support system.

💪 Advocacy: Reducing the stigma surrounding DID is essential. Educate yourself and others, challenge stereotypes, and promote understanding and acceptance. Let's create a more inclusive and compassionate world for all mental health conditions.

Remember, every individual's experience with DID is unique. Let's approach this topic with empathy and a willingness to learn. 💛
