Applicable Subject Problems

Studying psychology is great because in theory you get to learn about the human condition and understand the behaviour of people. But then you take an abnormal psych course and then you end up self diagnosing yourself with depression, anxiety, a borderline personality disorder, PTSD, and a neurodevelopmental disorder despite meeting none of the criteria.

Just a Lame Psychology Rant

Okay so I’ve had a couple glasses of wine,and I may have started watching videos on DID (Dissociative Identity Disorder) and I’m seeing some shit that’s really boiling my alcohol filled blood.

1. People fucking lying. People are leaving comments trying to get their own little moment of fame by telling lies about themselves or “friends” that suffer from DID or MPD (Multiple Personality Disorder) and have done disgusting or tragic things. I’m not going to get into details but one comment said that her best friend’s alter jumped in front of a train because of this girl. If this girl was a close friend and a means of comfort and safety, this girls alter WOULD NOT HAVE COMMIT SUICIDE JUST BECAUSE. Her comment basically said “her alter said ‘it’s you, it’s your fault’ and she jumped in front of a train while we were waiting to go to school.” No she fucking didn’t, stop making a mockery of this.

2. People calling the YouTuber a liar. There was one comment of a man who suffers from MPD and his comment was saying that this girl was fake and sh was acting and spreading bullshit lies because she was switching from alter to alter so quickly.....but in the video she has descriptions of each alter and there’s clearly editing and different times of day or possibly different days between videos of each alter. People were making fun of on of the girls alters because she had a sexual side to her....it’s called mania, you uneducated assholes.

Also people were commenting these weird psychology terms that in my 5 years of studying psych have never touched on... all of a sudden you people are psych majors? Oh, because you saw the movie Split you know all about these disorders???

Flash Psychology Lesson:

*Also I do not suffer from either MPD or DID but I’m passionate about mental health not only because I’m a Psychology Student but because I suffer from mental health disorders*

Through extensive therapy treatments, a person CAN switch from alter to alter almost instantenously through cues, triggers, or even just someone (typically their therapist) saying “Can I please talk to *alters name*”. and a person can switch. I wish I could remember the woman’s name, but she had over 23 different alters, ranging in different ages and genders, and watching her switch from alter to alter, WITHOUT EDITING, was jaw dropping. I literally watched a recorded therapy session (which I was shown this within an abnormal psych class so idk if it’s common knowledge or if it was only my professor who had access to this) but the psychiatrist/therapist would talk to the host and she would say “is it okay if I talk to...?” and the woman would change body language, temperament, EVERYTHING. This disorder is not fake or attention seeking, it is a defense mechanism. Some alters are violent in order to protect the host, some are more docile and passive to pass the problem onto something else or onto a different alter.

BEFORE YOU START MAKING SHITTY COMMENTS AND TELLING BULLSHIT FUCKING LIES, DO YOUR RESEARCH, TAKE A CLASS OR TWO, TALK TO A PSYCHOLOGIST IDC BUT DO NOT PUT SOMEONE DOWN OR DISCREDIT THE WAY THEY FEEL WHEN IT COMES TO THEIR MENTAL HEALTH OKAY BACK TO YOUR REGULARLY SCHEDULED TUMBLR.

*also if you think the movie Split is an accurate representation of DID or psychology at all pls unfollow thx*
