Just wanna clarify something in your intro post. Are you referring to “plurality” as a delusion because of the almost sociogenic idea of did being “multiple people in one brain disorder” rather than the concept of did being a delusion? If so, I agree with your entire intro post and I think it’s fantastic. It’s disheartening seeing my diagnosis being turned into a joke by an internet trend.

Nice job anyhow.

right. the idea of it literally being multiple people in one brain is skewed at best. i’m not one of those “it’s a fake disorder” people, don’t worry.

i’m so sorry you’ve had to see something that affects you so deeply be turned into what it has.

intro post: about my stance

this blog exists because the online conversation around dissociative disorders has warped itself into an odd, nigh impenetrable kind of echo chamber.

so many people out there are faking DID since the 2020 peak, and it's disheartening. the trend encourages impressionable young people to pathologize normal experiences. to mimic debilitating symptoms for attention, aesthetic, or belonging. so, so few of the people who claim to have alter-based disorders--even to be diagnosed--clearly don't understand the reality of those disorders, let alone truly have them.

in short, this is what i believe:

DID is a severe childhood trauma disorder, not an identity.

the vast majority of people claiming to have it online do not. it has become a way to roleplay popular characters.

sufferers are not "systems" of multiple people--they're one person, split into parts. they should be treated as such.

language matters. in real cases, calling dissociated self-states "system members", "headmates", etc. only feeds into the delusion of plurality.

on that note, plurality is a delusion. a trauma-induced one, but a delusion nonetheless. it should be understood this way.

recovery through final fusion is a reasonable, valid, and worthwhile goal.

no, this isn't "ableist". no, i won't be taking your advice to "listen to real systems", because chances are? you aren't one.

feel free to send asks. i won't sugarcoat.

what is your opinion on functional multiplicity?

[citrus-syscourse]

i believe it’s an understandable and valid goal. but the wider cultural context pulls it in the direction of celebrating fragmentation.

[iputmy-pictures-onthewall]

and why exactly is "celebrating fragmentation" bad?

do you consider it to be the least-healthiest option?

[citrus-syscourse]

i appreciate your curiosity! i don’t consider functional multiplicity inherently less healthy than integration, just that something that is disordered should not be celebrated—this creates a slippery slope into idealization and performativity.
