I lose time.
I can only see some memories through a foggy haze.
I don't always control the words that leave this mouth.
I'm tired of switching. I don't want to do this anymore.

Where can I get a refund on this mental illness?
Person: What pronouns do you use?
Me: Oh, they/them
Person: But isn’t that plural?
Me, a DID system: ….. funny you mention that….
it is not an evil thing to look at yourself with kindness. your life was never meant to be a punishment

Grounding tips if you're dissociating in public.
If you're in a public place it can be harder to ground. Here are things that have worked for us:
Pick a random colour and then find and name - out loud if possible, but in your head can help too - all the things you can see that are that colour. EG "that streetsign is green. This grass is green. That person's coat is green". Alternatively, just say the name of the colour every time you see something with that colour. If you run out of a colour too quickly, pick another one and start again.
Control your breathing. It's very easy to lose control of your breathing when dissociated. Try to focus on it, and count your breaths to whatever breathing exercises work for you. If you're not sure what to do, one good breathing exercise is to Breath In for 5 seconds, Hold It for 3 seconds, then Breathe Out for 6 seconds and repeat. Focus on how your breath feels; is the air warm, neutral or cold as you breathe in and out?
Wiggle your toes and feet, and/or your fingers and hands. This helps with the circulation flowing throughout your body, which can help you ground easier.
If possible, remove yourself from your current location. If you're in a cafe or library or store/shop, go to the bathroom if you feel able to, or leave the place briefly and walk around. If you're on the street, go into a nearby shop/cafe/mall/centre etc. If possible, a quieter place like a park may work best. Either way, try to change your location, as the change in scenery can help you with the dissociation.
Carry chewing gum and/or water. It's okay if you don't have them this time, but drinking water (especially if it's cold water), chewing gum or eating something small may help.
If any of these helped you, I'm glad! If not, that's okay! You will be alright, and your experiences are still valid. The unfortunate thing with dissociative disorders is that sometimes there's not much you can do except wait for it to pass. I promise you that you will be okay, and that this will pass in time.
I dont have anyone to talk to and I don't know what to do. I can't deal with my brain that felt the need to protect me as a child.
I want it to all go away.
unfortunately im very self aware

I'm sorry this account has kinda died.
Getting a proper diagnosis and realizing it's DID makes me feel like I shouldn't post on here.
I love yall and hope you do amazing things in life. 💕
I made it to 29! My birthday was on the 8th.
I never even dreamed of making it this far.
It's weird, but great.
I got engaged yall.
I went through a traumatic marriage for 6 years, 3 of it I don't really remember. Through that experience I realized that I have a dissociative disorder.
My current fiance is so patient and works with me when I'm switching.
I'm so happy. Everything I thought I would NEVER want is what is currently making me want to be alive.
How often to you dissociate?
Do any drugs make it worse?
My therapist keeps trying to help me accept the fact that I have ossd/did by calling alters fragments and while its nice she's trying to ease me into it, I need better help to figure out triggers and shit.
It's so exhausting having a mental illness that you can't control.
I found this blog in like 2017 right after my own diagnosis and though I'm not really on tumblr anymore I like stop by every now and then, makes me feel less alone when things get overwhelming. Just wanted to send some virtual hugs and I hope you will be ok after all. Happy belated bday too, I'm so glad you've made it this far and hope you will make it to many more <3
You're never alone!
Thank you 😊
happy belated birthday i love you ❤️ ❤️
Thank you! Much love 💕
Telling myself that I am an adult and that I can leave my house when my dad gets mad mad helps the anxiety of him getting upset over something I'm doing. I can just leave and never fucking talk to him again but I'm too important to mom to ever just run completely away, is nice.
