Some things I think should be talked about more in CDD spaces because I’m tired of pro and anti endos saying “cdd spaces are too alter centric” and then doing absolutely nothing about it:
- Co morbid conditions, including vulnerability to addiction (be normal abt addicts or die by my blade)
- Anhedonia , apathy , or just the general difficulty processing emotion that comes with chronic dissociation
- How damn isolating the condition can be
- How systemhood can intersect and affect/be affected by other identities (the unique experiences of poc systems, physically disabled systems, neurodivergent systems, queer systems, etc)
- Identity disturbance and issues with identity beyond the existence of alters
- Phobias developed by trauma
- Amnesia and the ways it can manifest
- CDD representation in media, either coded or explicit, and ways you relate to them
- P-DID and OSDD systems and their specific experiences
- How to advocate for yourself as a pwcdd in medical / professional spaces
Although, I can understand why a lot of this stuff isn’t talked about to an extent. It can be deeply personal and dangerous, especially if you participate in syscourse where pro/anti endos or endos themselves may use that information to hurt you for your opinions.
( CDD systems of any stance may interact as long as your intent is not to convince me of non cdd plurality. Non CDD systems please leave, your opinion is not wanted here. Nobody cares what you have to say on this topic. )
