This demonstrates the extent to which the focus on "parts" has impacted people with DID, both in media and in online spaces that tout themselves as advocates.

I have been messaged multiple times and told that I am "speaking over real trauma survivors" and to "stop roleplaying." Aside from the fact that I have never—and will never—share information about parts online (not even my own), it is also clear that this harassment stems from the way DID is portrayed online.

DID is a dissociative disorder and one which forms in response to trauma. It always has been, and it always will be. It is not in the diagnostic criteria simply because it is also a disorder involving dissociative amnesia, which means many patients do not recall the trauma they endured.

DID is not, and never will be, a roleplay of characters, a creation of "traumatic backstories," or a diagnosis that makes someone's trauma less valid or renders them "not a real trauma survivor."

All of these messages have one thing in common: they assume DID is roleplay in your head. They believe parts are just characters created for fun. This stems from both ableism—such as people creating impossible standards for survivors to justify hatred of disabled people—and the way online communities highlight and center parts as the primary symptoms of DID.

I've even been told that DID only requires you to present with parts to be diagnosed. Look at what these communities' actions have caused. Look at how you impact the public image of a clinical disorder, and consider whether it is worth changing. Consider if it is worth highlighting the voices of those who are suffering the most—those willing to speak about dissociative amnesia, PTSD, depersonalization, and derealization in a serious and genuine manner.

Because I assure you, if this community continues on its current path, we will all end up just as isolated and stereotyped as we have been in the past.

[dissociativefreak]

Just to be very clear, this post is not about parts language. I prefer parts language. It is about the oversaturation and heavy focuse placed on parts/alters within the DID community.

Please reflect on how you read this post and the single thing you chose to focus on is my use of the word "parts" rather than the multiple instances where people have accused people with DID of roleplaying or lying because they think that parts are the only symptoms to DID.

my favorite coworker told me the scenario she thinks of to fall asleep is she stumbles upon a baby sheep and has to raise it and it grows up and she has to shear it and she says she envisions shearing it so carefully that she always falls asleep at that part

Scalding hot take: I don't give a flying fuck what endo systems do as long as they're not claiming that they have complex dissociative disorders or claiming that they understand CDD experiences. If anything, people with CDDs are often appropriating endo culture, to our own detriment. You should not be having huge numbers of fictives from recent media in your system. That's an endo thing to do, likely resulting from imitating the symptoms that you see around you on Tumblr/TikTok/Discord, and it sets back your recovery.

Endos can pretty much do whatever they want because they're not disordered. Who am I to police the human experience? But when people with CDDs, who have disorders that need treatment, start regularly using endo terms like "plural" and "multiple" (which reinforce the amnesic and dissociative barriers between parts and make it harder for them to work together), they are actively harming their ability to recover from their disorder, which isn't good for anyone.

As a whole, people with CDDs need to focus a lot less on endos and focus a lot more on stemming the misinformation running rampant in our own community and causing people to subconsciously exaggerate their own symptoms and make themselves harder to treat.

"systems stop treating your fictives like a show-n-tell" challenge: impossible

It's always a bit of a weird experience seeing the plural tags flooded with introject-related posts.

On the one hand, I'm glad that introjects and introject-heavy systems have found more acceptance in the community. That hasn't always been the case, and there's still a long way to go when it comes to getting people to treat introjects with basic respect- you all deserve better than the shit people put you through for existing.

On the other hand, we can't relate. At all. None of us are fictional introjects, and while we could debate about whether the brain radio is our childhood radio, that doesn't line up with the usual introject experiences that are talked about either.

The plural tags become harder and harder to feel welcome in when the experiences that are primarily talked about (and almost expected) in those spaces are ones that you don't share. It's a little isolating. I wish there was more visible diversity in plural spaces than there has been for the last decade or so: that more people felt safe talking about their experiences, even when they don't match expectations or norms.

I doubt that day is going to come while the plural community is as partisan as it is, though.

States of Being

We were trying to explain to some friends earlier that saying "this person is in front" and "this person is co-conscious" isn't always the most useful phrasing for us because either of those terms can mean a lot of different things. We have our own words that we like to use to describe where folks can be in relation to our awareness.

The states on this chart are still a bit of a simplification, as we flow between them and it's more of a spectrum than a discrete set, but they're close enough to the actual language that we use to do the job.

gah I thought I could just tell myself no I’m wrong I don’t have DID/OSDD so why am I still holding onto it and questioning

[thehousetenants]

sometimes i simply wish ppl would realize that while alters are a defining trait of CDDs that we are extremely traumatized people and have symptoms outside of the alters. you know. the trance states, the somatic symptoms like joint pain and stomachaches and headaches. the high comorbidity of eating disorders, of personality disorders, of psychogenic non-epileptic seizures. alters are something to deal with, sure. theyre stressful. its messy, with persecutors. its not all bad, with alters, either. sometimes its warm and good. but i wish people realized the hardship of these disorders rather than glorifying and aestheticizing what so many of us are going through.

[dissociativefreak]

This is exactly what I have been advocating for for a long time. It's not about forcing people to talk about things they find upsetting or too personal, it's about lifting up those who do choose to discuss other symptoms as well as acknowledging those symptoms.

PDID culture is going back into denial then questioning being a system again because you keep telling yourself out loud to shut up because you can feel talking in your mind, even if it's incoherent to you
