My Life with PTSD and DID @brokenanddissociated-blog - Tumblr Blog

Harry Potter.

I grew up with him, being in the same age, for all those years.

When I was sad, I read the books and Hogwarts always welcomed me. Hogwarts was there, when no one else was... Hogwarts was my home. <3

Understanding is the first step to acceptance, and only with acceptance can there be recovery.

Okay listen up

PTSD is caused by trauma. DID is caused by trauma.

These are undisputed facts in psychology at the moment. After years of research this is what they know.

Would you claim to have PTSD but never have experienced trauma? No? That’s ridiculous, it’s caused by trauma, right?

Well so is DID. Don’t claim to have DID if you also claim to never have experienced trauma.

Since I see some people calling it “gatekeeping” when you clarify misinformation about a disorder you’re living with. Here are some sources that show that it is caused by trauma: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25670646“ Shared abnormal brain structures in DID-PTSD and PTSD-only, small hippocampal volume in DID-PTSD, more severe lifetime traumatizing events in DID-PTSD compared with PTSD-only, and negative correlations between lifetime traumatizing events and hippocampal volume suggest a trauma-related etiology for DID “https://www.researchgate.net/publication/5810713_Volume_of_discrete_brain_structures_in_complex_dissociative_disorders_Preliminary_findingshttp://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0098795 http://www.empty-memories.nl/science/Vermettenetal.pdf https://www.researchgate.net/publication/221695375_Evaluation_of_the_Evidence_for_the_Trauma_and_Fantasy_Models_of_Dissociation“ there is strong empirical support for the hypothesis that trauma causes dissociation, and that dissociation remains related to trauma history when fantasy proneness is controlled. We find little support for the hypothesis that the dissociation-trauma relationship is due to fantasy proneness or confabulated memories of trauma.” https://www.researchgate.net/publication/261217759_Is_the_Dissociative_Adult_Suggestible_A_Test_of_the_Trauma_and_Fantasy_Models_of_Dissociation “The results consistently support the Trauma Model of dissociation and fail to support the Fantasy Model of dissociation.”

Educating people about a disorder that I am living with is not gatekeeping! Telling us that we can’t educate people on a disorder we are living with because the facts hurt your feelings is ableist!

Would you call autistic people, educating everyone about what autism is and what it isn’t gatekeeping? Would you call people with bipolar who educate everyone about their disorder gatekeeping? Would you call people with OCD gatekeeping if they tell you that having OCD doesn’t mean just wanting everything to be neat? No you wouldn’t So why the fuck would you do that with survivors of chronic childhood trauma?

TW - what it’s like to live with DID

Most people out there have no idea how hard it is...

to ask yourself permanently who you are

not to know how to survive the day

to lose time and forget things all day

to struggle with alters who want to die or hurt the body

to struggle with alters who want to go back to the abusers because everything is better than being alone

to be overwhelmed by emotions like anger, sadness, anxiety

to be afraid of getting into a state of dissociation in public situations, being petrified, not able to move or talk

not to be able to trust anyone because everyone you trusted has abandoned you or abused you

People with DID and OSDD-1 may have trauma triggers and switching triggers that will disturb balance internally and can cause fronting alters to switch out. Please respect both kinds of triggers!

Switching triggers may not be related to trauma, but will regularly cause specific alters to front. These triggers might not make sense, and could be specific phrases, actions, media, objects, grounding items, etc. For example, an alter might be triggered out if they see a familiar toy from childhood.

Please respect the switching triggers of your friends with DID/OSDD, and never use knowledge of these to control switches without your friend’s permission.
