I freaking hate the romantization of did/osdd/cdd symptoms, and I hope it dies.
No, our symptoms are not something desirable or wonderful. They come from years and years of traumatic experiences that have caused our brain to split into several parts due to how extreme the trauma is. No, you do not want to be plural. Do you want to experience a horrible, life ruining disease that consists of terrible memory gaps that ruin your every day? Do you want to be so inconvenienced by the past that you find it hard to face the day? Do you want your “oh, so desirable” lifestyle to become the dark husk that it really is? Thought so.
No you can’t will yourself into being a system. You will not be a system unless you have severe childhood trauma that affected you to the point of becoming like this. End. of. story.
What I’m saying here is, stop romanticizing our stuff. It’s ass. Complete ass, we hate it.
