The Kairos Collaborative

We're a group of protectors known as “Kairos”, a collective name used to bond all of our dissociative ego states as an individual diagnosed with dissociative identity disorder. On this blog you will find Leo, Bodhi, Devon, Sterling, and Esme. We run our social media and a YouTube channel, which we call The Kairos Collaborative! The Collaborative is a project we've started to provide ourself with a voice, and to connect with other survivors of childhood trauma on our path to healing. We are not a professional, we only speak to our own experiences.

New Video: DID Life Update

New video up now going over our time and healing in therapy, our current medication regimen, our ADHD diagnosis, and what we've been up to over the past few years!

Is DID Real?

Brand new video (finally)!

Is DID really a “controversial diagnosis”? What does the evidence say about the existence of DID?

[thekairoscollaborative]

Wow… just found out “trans-disordered” is a thing. I’ve never hated a group of people more. Y’all are indisputably the most disgusting people alive.

yeah im dirty minded but in my defense i was groomed as a child to believe this was all i was good for

[lamiictal]

maybe i’m just projecting but i think there’s an inherent loneliness in living with a severe mental illness that makes you feel permanently estranged from others and long for the kind of connection where you feel completely understood and accepted, all while knowing other people have their own stuff to deal with or are just not equipped to ride out the worst of the illness with you. this leads to downplaying and/or hiding your symptoms as best you can, which takes even more of a psychological toll on you. this leads to not feeling loved as a complete person, and maybe not recognizing that love when it is present, or always fearing the day people have had enough and leave. even more so if this has already happened to you. it’s so exhausting and sad

one day you’ll feel safe.

one day your house will feel like home.

one day you won’t feel the need to run away.

one day you’ll heal, you just have to make it until then.

April 4, 2021

People in St Louis jail revolt against the inhumane and horrific conditions inside, which have only gotten worse since the start of covid. This prison has been the site of protests since 2017 because of its uncleanliness, brutal working conditions, and violent and inept guards. Hundreds of people have been waiting to receive their court dates for two, three, or even five years now, in a state of indefinite imprisonment, which is being extended further under the justification of covid. This is the third uprising since December 2020. The inmates’ demands for proper medical care, court dates, and fair treatment from correctional officers have still not been met. Covid protocols are not being followed at all and inmates are often refused medical attention and exposed to disease by correctional officers and arbitrarily punished.

Read their statement from February 6th on the extent of the misery and degradation they have been subjected to in this violent system. These people are not disposable and do not deserve to be treated as such! Revolutionary love and solidarity to all those incarcerated & struggling to be free.
