NOTICE FOR PSYCHOTIC PEOPLES LIKE ME AND THE NEW TOMODACHI LIFE: Please please pretty pretty please be careful while playing Living the Dream, esp if you’re currently unmedicated!!!

The game treats the Miis like they’re real people and makes zero mention ever that they are not, and only ever refers to them and their POV as if they are real and you are their caretaker! While playing this honestly messed with my head pretty badly at times and made me worry a lot on if I was hurting real people/not doing enough for real people while I was playing!

I cannot imagine how much worse this would be for someone who’s unmedicated, non-dormant, or experiencing breakthrough symptoms! Do please be careful and PLEASE remember to have a way to reality check yourself while playing the game!!!

Also: If you’re not psychotic, please reblog this anyway!!! It may not seem like a big deal to you but these kinds of things are REALLY important to know for us psychotic folk in a world that is both hostile and negligent to us and our needs!!!

SO glad I'm not as anti recovery as I used to be... Because of the community around systems online, I firmly believed that I should just... Let persecutors do whatever and not try to stop them from fronting. It caused a lot of problems in my life. If you only recently found out you have a dissociative disorder(or really disorder of any kind) remember to try to seek out community in places other than just the internet!!!

for those out there who feel like their dissociation 'isn't enough' and feel like they're faking because of it, hey. maybe it's because you lived your entire life with this experience and got too used to it. but here's the thing, dissociation isn't just 'suddenly blacking out and having no memory of the entire past day' no matter how much its painted as that. not all dissociation is sharp and obvious.

forgetting passwords, forgetting names and people, forgetting your dreams, having too vivid dreams, insomnia, brain fog, face blindness, remembering your days like a blur, struggling to remember your schedule, school/work day gone too fast, forgetting to eat, forgetting to drink, derealization, depersonalization can all be caused by dissociation. i know its hard to accept but it is, just because you don't black out doesn't mean you don't dissociate; if you sit on your computer stopping for a second doubting your password or if you wake up feeling like that was a trainwreck of a dream then suddenly it stops being visible is caused by dissociation. if you're awake, looking around but having the feeling that something with the existence of the surroundings is wrong is also dissociation. if you suddenly remember that you forgot to eat that day, that you forgot to drink that day, the time is 3 am and even though you never blacked out and you were always there, is still dissociation.

if you grew too used to constantly living these little things, then you are probably ignoring your symptoms. so please stop the doubting. you're not fake, your dissociation is real, your amnesia is real and you are not lying. please remember this. you are a system, and it's okay to dissociate. it's not your fault.

Do you suspect you have Dissociative Identity Disorder? Well, here's a list of differential diagnosis(other things that might cause the symptoms) according to the DSM-5.

Remember that just because you have one of these doesn't necessarily mean you don't have DID, but it does mean the symptoms should be examined to see if its explained by another disorder. I am not a trained professional, these are all facts from the DSM-5.

Other Specified Dissociative Disorder(Cannot be diagnosed alongside DID)

Major Depressive Disorder(Can be diagnosed alongside DID and often is)

Bipolar Disorders(Can be diagnosed alongside DID)

Posttraumatic Stress Disorder(Can be diagnosed alongside DID and often is)

Psychotic Disorders(Can be diagnosed alongside DID)

Substance/medication-induced Disorders(Can be diagnosed alongside DID)

Personality Disorders(Can be diagnosed alongside DID)

Conversion Disorder(Functional Neurological Symptom Disorder) (Can be diagnosed alongside DID)

Seizure Disorders(Can be diagnosed alongside DID)

Factitious Disorder(Can be diagnosed alongside DID, hardly ever is)

I cringe every time I see someone share triggers or that they're a RAMCOA victim or anything of the like. It could be used against you by people with bad intentions, so I'm begging you not to. The internet is dangerous. Be safe, everyone <3

I'm sure by now you've heard about the simply plural shutdown, so I'm here to suggest an alternative called Ourcana!

Pros: You can create edit a profiles front-status to show if they're co-con/co-front/any custom thing you want to put, you can choose if you want the layout of profiles to be multiple in a row or just a list, you can import from simplyplural or paste a pluralkit token(and I think you can make it sync to pk), you can create tags to put on profiles, you can add journal entries(and you can add tags onto those entries!), and you can change the terminology for what members are called/what front is called and a few more things, you can see at almost all times the member count without having to go to settings or anything, the layouts really simple, you can add custom fields

Cons: To my knowledge you can't have a custom front status to show if you're blurry, the terminology used when you first open it up resembles that of a book(using words like deck, flow, and lore, but these can all be changed)

You can join their discord here(tell me if the link has stopped working). The discord only has ~150 people and they're only on version 0.4.4 at the time of writing this, but it's currently available for testing. I *think* it's available for web and android, but I definitely know it is for IOS.

[hypno-system]

you CAN set a custom front status actually! Click and hold on a member fronting to access front status settings

[sawsystem]

I mean like how simplyplural had these custom front things😓😓

Sometimes you need to hold a part away from front like this.

[sawsystem]

"Can I talk to [body's name]??" buddy... I'm one person... We're all [body's name] and I don't even have a part that like. Puts their alter name down as [body's name]. Anyways stop treating my parts as different people I'm not different people

[fromfiction]

You can't fake something unintentionally or unconsciously.

Faking an experience is done with full knowledge and conscious intent on your part of what you are doing.

If something is happening to you unintentionally, if you are doing something and unconsciously, you are having a legitimate experience of some kind.

If you're faking something, you're doing it deliberately. Faking something isn't something that just happens to you. An experience is something that just happens to you.

sending love to all the system's who have to spend time with their abusive familys this Christmas

[sawsystem]

Btw I don't care what system spaces online say, you're still a valid system if your MAIN(emphasis on main and not all) symptom is dissociation/something other than alters.

[thefluxsystem]

You know what the worst part of having a dissociative disorder is, for me personally?

The emotional amnesia.

Your entire life feels like something that you watched on TV, rather than something that you actually lived through.

You know that some of the most horrific things imaginable have happened to you, and you feel nothing about it. Sure, the memories disgust you on principle, but you don’t feel anything.

It makes you question if anything that you remember is real. If that actually happened, shouldn’t it feel significant? Shouldn’t you be sad, angry, hurt, something?

And to top it all off, nobody understands. Not even yourself.

[sawsystem]

I've been saying this thing about the TV for ages and nobody seems to get it! I always see people talk about feeling far away(which obviously is common and I experience it) but rarely feeling like you watched it on TV or something. I'm really happy someone else shares this experience

[neo-pilled]

Common things in DID that no one likes to talk about

- switches that feel like you’re turning into someone else rather than them taking control (non-possessive switching)

- being unable to recognize amnesia until something requires you to remember something you forgot

- staying in the front for weeks at a time

- being unable to communicate with alters internally (this is so common why does everyone act like this is weird?)

- feeling like you don’t have any problems because you feel disconnected from them

- constant denial

- rapid identity, label, and appearance changes

- comorbidities, particularly personality disorders, anxiety disorders, and the schizophrenia spectrum

- autism (there is science pointing towards autistic people being more susceptible to trauma)

- disliking your system

- wanting final fusion

i have mostly greyout amnesia so whenever i do get blackout amnesia i just get so surprised like oh ok apparently im in some argument with a twat on the internet what were we talking about again

its not even like blackout amnesia is rare for me it just happens about once per day and yet it still surprises me

[sawsystem]

Yeah so I totally flunked a math test because one of my parts refused to make a notesheet and I never learned ts
