#polyfrag DID

[the-stardust-col]

Oh Wow!! My symptom (amnesia) of my disorder (DID) is getting worse!! But because it’s getting worse (I’m forgetting things more) I obviously must be faking (I’m just forgetting my symptoms)!!

[evilsystem]

being immortal and having DID must be crazy. yeah our boy Carlos hasn't fronted in 300 years and just woke up to the sound of Uptown Funk and started screaming

How you look when you just got finished rapid switching

[botanical-garden-system]

Hey, it’s not your fault. You were just a kid. You may still BE a kid. But I know a few things for certain:

You didn’t ask to be born into this world.

You didn’t ask to be treated the way that you were treated—whether it was by bullies, parents, or other family members.

You didn’t ask to “be a burden” to your caregivers, you deserved that space to be loved and safe

You didn’t ask for your consent to be broken.

You didn’t ask for the shame and guilt someone put you through.

You aren’t bad for something happening to you. You aren’t your trauma.

I’m sorry if you were ever made to feel that way, and I know that may never mean much coming from a stranger, but I know it’s something I wish I heard more.

Shout out to systems who cant get diagnosed. Shout out to systems who split easily. Shout out to systems with high introject counts. Shout out to complex systems. Shout out to systems with mostly littles. Shout out to systems with small alter counts. Shout out to systems who dont want to get diagnosed cause they dont want it on their record. Shout out to systems with nonhuman alters. Shout out to systems

I wonder if anyone else feels like they've only started existing since they where like. 12-13

Like, I feel like I've only been existing since maybe 12, but I have memories from before that age that are DEFINITELY mine, but it's also sort of hard to tell what age I've really started existing by, since I'm an introject of our literal body, it's just so.. Confusing? Is this a normal experience? Does ANYONE exist before those ages? Does anyone actually exist before the personality (tries) finishing it's weird stuff or??

my online class is asking me to create an "alter ego" for an assignment. little do they know that

[amity-moonrise]

Anti recovery this, anti recovery that-

Can we like, normalize taking care of OURSELVES FIRST? PLEASE? Let people do whatever the heck they want with their system, focus on yourself first. Why is that so hard for some people jesus.

[incognitosystem]

shoutout to systems that got so manipulated and gaslighted by their abusers that it took them years to realize what they went/go through daily was not normal at all, we're with you

[horrorcrew-diary]

Passive alter influence is like.... I wanna go home. I'm yearning. I'm taken. I'm literally asexual. I wanna go to bed. If I even try to go to sleep I'll cry. I miss my friends. I hate you. No I don't. Where's our parents. I hate my parents. I'm yearning again.

sometimes DID is "haha people in brain"

but most of the time its:

"fuck wait when did it become [time] why am i on my phone didnt i need to make dinner? oh no who am i whats going on"

*constant vague flashbacks as people float in and out of front*

"oh god when did i get here where am i?"

*deep dissociation*

*being unable to care for myself due to dissociation*

"i do this all the time why cant *i* do this why can i not remember?"

*forgetting important or even just every day things*

*can never think clearly*

*too many voices and thoughts that arent mine*

[littlest-bugz]

When you’re mid sentence and suddenly forget literally everything you were talking about

Someone drowning in 6 feet of water is as equally dead as a person drowning in 20 feet of water.

Please stop comparing trauma and making it a challenge. It’s trauma. Not a competition or medal.

everytime i see people laugh at the concept of cults and how ridiculous they are i actually start seething as somebody who WAS in a cult for multiple years

people dont join cults because theyre stupid. people join them because cult leaders PREY on them. they find people who are vulnerable and offer them community and perceived safety

they dont come out swinging with "im the only one who can speak to this meteorite" or "the world is going to end on xx/xx/xx". they open by bonding with you over regular activities. you meet in line at the coffee shop and get to chatting, and they give you their number. you find them at the park playing basketball with other members and assume theyre friends.

youre with them for weeks, maybe months before they let you feel like an "insider." they tell you everything in pieces so you have time to internalize it. they encourage you to keep these things secret, because other people wouldnt understand- and if you do tell others and they do call you crazy, that just solidifies that belief and pushes you further into the cult.

sometimes they have members be the reason for certain 'discoveries' or new elements of control. in the cult i was in, i had to be away for an extended period of time, and when i returned, the leader told me they had discovered astral projection was driven by emotion and in their deep yearning to see me had astral projected to my location to watch over me while i was away. while it was framed as a means of companionship, community, and protection, all it truly did was make everybody involved feel that they were always being watched and were never truly alone. it scared us into following the rules of the cult when we were at school or work.

its a gradual process. if i explained everything that i would be taught in one sitting to myself prior to joining the cult, i never would have. i would have laughed and said 'that sounds ridiculous, who would ever believe that?' but thats the point. its boiling frog syndrome. since its so gradual, you dont notice youre boiling until youve already been burned too badly to leave.

in fact, being in this cult did severe restructuring to my system and caused me to discover the fact i even was one- years before i was ready to learn that information. to this day i still struggle with parts- even those that front semi-frequently- following old rules and inflicting old punishments upon us.

anyway. yeah thats why im mad about people who joke about cults. no a group of people with the same pfp is not a cult. no a friend group is not a cult. no a discord server with a religious theme is not a cult.
