DID isn't just having alters, it's:

Not knowing as the host, who you are most of the days 24/7

Not knowing which name to go by

Derealization/Depersonalization 24/7

[schizotisticstatic]

reminder to stop fucking taking mental health terms and applying them to normal human experiences that a lot of people have regardless of their mental health!

stop saying you have a "special interest"/you're "hyperfixating" on something when you just like it a lot!

stop saying you're "overstimulated" when you're just overwhelmed!

stop saying you're "dissociating" when you're just zoning out!

stop saying you're "so OCD" because you like to be clean/organized!

stop saying you're "delusional/delulu" because you hope the person you like might like you back!

stop calling things "traumatizing"/saying you're "traumatized" when you see something that was a just a little weird or scary or uncomfortable and left no real lasting damage on you!

stop calling people/things "psychotic" when you mean violent/homicidal! (people in psychosis aren't inherently dangerous btw)

and most of all!!

stop fucking calling people/things schizo!!!! full stop!!!! there is never a good reason for it!!!! schizophrenics have enough to worry about without hearing you say that shit!!!! fuck dude omg

anyway feel free to add to this if you reblog it :]

Shout out to folks with Depersonalisation-Derealisation Disorder!

i love looking up stuff with derealization tags with the expectation that i'll find some parasocial unity and understanding through other people's ventposts only to exclusively find generic weirdcore unreality slop
