Something to remember

[only-knives]

If you struggle with substance abuse but not addiction, you still deserve support. If you struggle with suicidality/self harm urges but don't act on it, you still deserve support. If you struggle with psychosis and paranoia but have insight, you still deserve support. If you struggle with anything but are "coping with it," you still deserve support.

You dont need to be in imminent crisis to get help - safety planning, harm reduction, resources, and accommodations. You're still struggling. You're still suffering, You're still at risk/in danger. You deserve better - you need better. Your health and wellbeing matters.

Remember that you don't have to be drained of all your energy to finally rest. You don't have to be overwhelmed, exhausted, incapacitated or sick to finally take a break. You don't have to wait until you get worse and burn out to finally feel like you earned rest. Rest is not earned by being productive and overworking. It is a human right. It is a human need. You deserve to rest.

you don’t talk too much. you aren’t too loud. you aren’t too needy. you aren’t too sensitive. you aren’t too this, or that. you aren’t too much anything. you will never be too much: you are you, and you are allowed to take up space. you are allowed to exist however you choose.

Learn to articulate how you're feeling without accusing anyone of having bad intentions. You can say "I'm afraid of being alone" without saying "you're just going to leave me like everyone else." You can say "I need some reassurance" without saying "you probably don't love me anymore." You can say "I'm afraid I've hurt your feelings and I'd like to talk it through" without saying "you don't even like me anymore." You can say "I want to spend more time with you" without saying "you've gotten tired of me." You can say "I feel misunderstood" without saying "you always judge me." Try not to let your emotions get the best of you. Have a conversation focused on finding solutions instead of escalating the conflict.

Having DID is actually so completely wild sometimes because I'll literally go weeks without switching and completely forget I have trauma and forget that I'm dissociating and then I'll get stressed or a certain song will come on and suddenly I'm wearing different clothes and it's two hours later and I'm like "oh right"

I do not exhibit symptoms of Symptoms Disorder, I say, actively exhibiting symptoms of Symptoms Disorder

[gumy-shark]

hey, is this a symptom of Symptoms Disorder, or is it normal? I ask, to the discord server exclusively inhabited by people who also have Symptoms Disorder

[kiwimuichiro]

I've just done a quiz about Symptoms Disorder, but I dont think I have it. I say as it says I show symptoms of Symptoms Disorder.

Not all amnesia is equal.

Some systems have partial blocks, not remembering close friends names or frequent fronters' favorite foods when asked.

Some systems have full blackouts to where alters aren't aware of any external elements prior to fronting and learning them.

Some systems forget memories and traumas. Some systems have alters that shove away memories so those who can't handle the information don't see it.

Sometimes alters won't even know there is amnesia within their system.

Sometimes they won't know what they've forgotten.

All amnesia is not equal, however, all amnesia is important to acknowledge.

Amnesia is tough to work around but you can work through it. You can improve system communications and healing.

Keep your head up.

Image 1:

I was at the movies tonight and a very interesting thing happened to me... I was in the bathroom before the movie and an older woman approached me. She asked how long I'd been using a cane, I told her almost 10 years. She paused and then said, “...was it hard?” (1/5)

Image 2:

...and I realized this woman was going through exactly what I went through 8 years ago. So I looked her in the eye and said “yeah. it was so hard. I face planted in a Walmart parking lot before I finally broke down and did it. But it was so worth it.” (2/5)

Image 3:

This woman is 75 and was absolutely terrified of starting to use a cane. So she looked at me, a young person, out and about with my cane, and had her realization. She told me she has severe vertigo, and that sometimes she can't stand up and it's terrifying... (3/5)

Image 4:

...but it's even more terrifying to admit that you need help. so we talked about that fear. we stood in the bathroom at the AMC and we talked about what it feels like to take a leap into vulnerability and the unknown. and I just want to remind anyone who needs to hear it (4/5)

Image 5:

it's okay to be afraid. it's natural not to want to admit to that vulnerability. but it's so worth it!! the freedom youn gain from using mobility aids is so worth it, whether you're 20 or 75. take the leap. (5/5)
