I'm going to get a bit personal here about multiplicity and my experiences.

I want everyone to understand that THE ONLY REASON I don't identify as having OSDD is because I'm afraid of appropriating experiences and as a rule I never self diagnose.

I do not claim to be a part of the DID/OSDD community out of RESPECT for that community.

But I also want to be very clear that accepting and coming to terms with my others as something other than a horrible psychotic symptom I need to suppress at all costs, is probably THE single best thing that's happened to me AND to them and our collective mental health.

I am being treated like an imposter for... Taking steps not to become an imposter?

Y'all do recognize that if someone wanted to fake multiplicity online, it would be quite silly of them to choose to identify with a type of multiplicity that is widely attacked as being fake in the first place?

I'm fucking... Keeping my cool and having a calm debate, but y'all realize that I'm having a debate over whether we EXIST

And whether we have a right to do the thing that leads us on the road of RECOVERY

And I dare show emotion in this matter? I dare word things strongly?

And then I am told to "think about what I'm doing".

Longwinded academic speech is a defense mechanism,, bc this shit fucking hurts at the very core of who we are.

I occasionally see this post on my Tumblr for you page going "if DID is so rare I'm gonna start fakeclaiming redheads" and I don't wanna interact with that poster. But every time I see it I just think,, that happens.

Bodily, we're a redhead. Born like that. Our mother and all 3 of her kids had bright orange hair as soon as it grew (our oldest brother it's darkened to brown now but I've seen his kid pictures, unmistakeably red).

In year 8 (~12 years old) we showed our bus pass (that had a very poor quality 3 year old photo of us, it was taken outside in crap lighting) to our peers. In that photo, our hair looked brown. It was not and never had been brown (in fact it tends to look closer to blond).

For the next year or 2 (none of us remember how long anymore) there was a furious rumour that we dyed our hair. We denied it repeatedly. They refused to believe us. It was frustrating and distressing because we have always had ginger hair (except when we've dyed it, which has only been to blue or green). Some of these people knew us when we were 6 years old and had hair the colour of a traffic cone and still it wouldn't dissipate.

Don't fakeclaim redheads actually. Because people already do that, take it from someone who knows 👍

hey is it ok if I ask why endos are in your dni

Yeah! just pls I don’t wanna start syscourse ok?

First of all, because I believe that systems can only be formed out of trauma. But because endos say otherwise, I’ve seen a lot of endo systems who think they have no trauma, suddenly find out that they have a ton of repressed trauma that they haven’t been dealing with (which makes sense bc repressed memories kinda come with the territory) and I’m sure there’s a lot of other endo systems who are in the same situation but don’t even realize it. And that’s just, really really bad. If you’re experiencing multiplicity, there was probably some form of trauma.

Also there’s just been so much misinfo spread by the community that’s just been so so dangerous. I don’t really wanna mention them all tho if that’s cool just because I don’t wanna make a long post cjjcjxhsjak

But yeah both of those things just make me uncomf w endos interacting

I just wanna say tho: if ur endogenic I don’t think you’re faking or smth like that inherently. I just feel like there’s a lot of misunderstanding!!!

=oop I’m terrified that the sudden focus on DID on YouTube is going to pump syscourse to 11 and we are just gonna 🙃
