Been trying to keep this to myself but it's been reaching a boiling point

As someone who is diagnosed and trying to get consistent treatment again I don't know why people spreading misinformation and straight up fake shit regarding DID is so commonplace/normal but every single person who has "system" as a label in their description like having DID is a personality trait gets blocked on sight.

It's not "10 idiots in one body", it's one idiot with personality parts that aren't communicating due to a dissociative disorder. I'm tired of DID being associated to brain rotted idiots who don't know that making ocs and roleplaying are things you can do without stealing the name and struggles of a real disorder. I promise it's way less cringe to just roleplay your oc than to pretend you have a disorder so you can't control yourself.

Everyone has personality parts and different 'sides' of themselves, that's not what DID is at all. You can have inner children and dark traits as normal personality parts and it still doesn't mean you have DID. That's why shadow work and parts therapy works for some people. Stop trying to overblow regular personality traits. You will not act the same in every situation, you will not have the same options and feelings on topics all the time; that is normal.

And most importantly: Alters are not their own person just floating in your head with separated interests and histories you didn't experience. It doesn't come from out of no where. What the fuck.

Alters are not a get out of jail card for any negative/ undesirable traits you posses either. That's still you, bestie

Hello! I would love to request a userbox that says "This [noun] feels like they are the only one in their system/head"

I say noun bc while I would prefer user, I feel like multiple people (esp people like me who just recently got diagnosed) can use a userbox like this :>

Save me from my diagnosis

I do not have DID

[shoalofone]

hi again..... i have been diagnosed with DID

[shoalofone]

Maybe I'm paranoid but i feel like my therapist is tip toeing around telling me I have DID without risking me denying him all together and maybe shutting him out thus undoing all the progress we have made over the past two years

Should I change my name back to shoalofafew since I guess i am definitely a few and not just one?

I sorry I don't post a lot anymore. I have been spending time on different sites

It feels like a lot of us want to post in different places, it feels comfortable to step away

But if you see this and care, our Twitter is static_cats

There are people in my head that exist to help me when things get hard or scary, and I think that is beautiful
