Independence, Freedom, Adventure: Freedom
Me and Bobby McGee by Janis Joplin courtesy of earworm I know: the lyrics are wrong. That’s what happens when you translate lyrics on your own. Not only did I learn them wrong, but now they are reinforced by the endless looping of it. Ah, well, the meaning is largely unchanged. We discussed the values of Independence, Freedom, and Adventure in my last therapy session. I was tasked with…

The first comic uploaded to this blog! 😎 This one is about how OSDD 1-b functions compared to DID
This weeks comic is types of alters! I think I’ll continue this another time with more specific subtypes, but these are what I thought were the big categories.
Also, it's not mandatory to use this terminology, it's just a useful categorization system to understand multiplicity a little better. 😊
My descriptions are a little simplistic, if you want to learn more please check out this page!
Introjects of real people (people in your life, celebrities, etc) are called Factives! :) [in relation to the fictive naming]
I totally forgot this term!!! It's been a while since I've heard it wow
This weeks comic is about finding a therapist for symptoms of OSDD/DID! Hopefully this gives people who aren’t sure where to start a jumping off point!
(Side note: the option to search by dissociative disorder is often hidden on psychologytoday fsr. I always google "dissociative disorder therapist psychologytoday" which should give you a premade search with the function selected.)
@dissociativeresource So Ollie’s seeing this therapist (currently we’ve only gone once because they fucked our health insurance) and when they say dissociative disorders, that includes DID/OSDD? Oliver was recently diagnosed with PTSD (currently he’s only told her of an abusive ex whom unfortunately abused him s*xually and emotionally for almost 3 years and not the other abuse he’s had all his life) and maybe it’s good that he mentions us. But he wants to be safe about it. So, is this what you mean? Does this mean this particular therapist is qualified?
This may mean they're qualified! But the inquiry email and interview call will really reveal the details better. Theoretically having experience with PTSD and dissociative disorders would imply some experience with alters. But, what they put down on psychologytoday is just what they self report knowledge in. Maybe test the waters somehow in a session since you're already seeing them it sounds like?
My dad: hey, can you make sure to start saving up your money going forward?
Me, shoveling toys and stickers for my littles into the cart: yeah uh-huh absolutely sure thing
A comic about OSDD I made for mental health awareness day :-)
Social Anxiety Returns: a contemplation on the Doorknob
Not poetic, but true. I’m afraid of the world. Not the air, land, weather-having, life sustaining World, no; no, that world embraces me like the wild thing I am. I’m afraid of the social world, an entirely all too human construct. To be precise, I’m afraid of the doorknob on the door leading to the world of human interaction. I HATE that damn doorknob. We had it out in 1989. I won. I thought…

The Corpse Tree by MCelestino 10/3/17
The Corpse Tree by MCelestino 10/3/17
Locals tell grisly tales about the Corpse Tree, a popular site for murders, suicides, and disposing bodies. It’s leaves are always black and shriveled, they say, except under a Blood Moon when they unfurl as red as fresh blood trickling from an open wound. I used to want to be a part of stories like this. There was a certain skin-prickling, bone-chilling glamour to them. When I was finally a…

Epilepsy 2.0 Bump in the night?
Epilepsy 2.0 Bump in the night?
A couple of nights ago, less than an hour after bedtime, my youngest wandered into my room with a confused expression. She stopped, stood there, and swayed ever so slightly. She didn’t speak. I waited. For a second, it looked like she might speak, but she didn’t. She continued to stare. I waited for a minute more before asking her if she needed something. She admitted to feeling…

Waiting 40 years
That’s it. That’s my first superhero comic: Wonder Woman #235, September 1977. I’d read tons of Walt Disney comics; Uncle Scrooge was a favorite, which is funny if you know me well. That’s another post. I’d had access to another comic, Thor #161. I watched Batman, Super Friends, and, of course, Lynda Carter’s Wonder Woman. I’m sure that’s why I picked this particular book from the metal,…

Photographic Echo
It took my breath away. Even as the guys launched into something very danceable, I sat on a bar stool, the heels of my shoes hooked on one of the lower bars. This was the kind of picture I’d been wanting to take of them for a very long time. 10 years ago, it had been a band called The Whiskey Saints on the exact same stage that had started me dancing and shooting photos at the same time. I…

Epilepsy 2.0 Getting started. . . or not
Epilepsy 2.0 Getting started. . . or not
We got the diagnosis: epilepsy. The nurse practitioner wanted me to try and get videos of my daughter’s seizure activity. She sent the order to schedule an EEG and warned us that sometimes, even with epilepsy and EEG will read as ordinary. However, the EEG would show which part of the brain was misfiring which would give them a starting point as to which medicine would be the best for her. We…

Epilepsy 2.0
I’m excited to get the referral letter in my hand. I’m excited in a stomach-churning, cold-sweat dread kind of way. The Process has begun. The Process has begun for my youngest. She’s 14. She’s smart, talented, sweet. She’s all those things everyone says their kids are with varying degrees of bias. Like every parent, I KNOW I’m right. In short, she’s my world. She’s not perfect, though.…

Epilepsy 1.0
At the end 2013, I was diagnosed with epilepsy. It had been one of the most harrowing experiences I’ve ever had. No one believed me. It was “panic attacks” or “drugs/alcohol”, which is super hysterical if you know me, Ms. One Drink Drunk. I pressed on in a fugue, determined to find out what was wrong with me despite the obstinate refusal to do anything on the part of the medical professionals…
