Dissociative identity disorder on tumblr - Self-dx fun times

[Piga Dgrifm]

• A little for some fucking reason?? Like, not a younger alter, but an alter specifically referred to as a “little” who likes to wear pink pajamas and color a lot

The terms 'A little'/'Littles' in relation to 'alters' prompt visceral feelings of disgust for me. I think it's because those are words most commonly used for a fetish (a fetish that is usually used to disguise domestic abuse), and now it's being applied by people who want to fake a psychiatric disorder. It's cringe on so many levels.

Fuck all that research, just show them this TikTok comp:

I showed this to my therapist and he's finally letting me kill myself

At the Keynote speech for this conference it's interesting they are AGAINST these youtube people, but still have ideas that are odd.

They state that self-diagnosis is fine.

They made sure to state that its a myth that switches are obvious and dramatic. (Like the youtube people)
They do not beleive DID is a mental illness. (Kinda akin to the whole neurotypical movement in autism)
They beleive that Non Human parts are common. (Never have run into this at all nor heard of it beyond fiction)

They have a handout on "DID Phobia in Therapists" and how to watch out for them:
If therapists want to commit a DID patient they are phobic...
If therapist wants the DID person to take meds they are phobic....

The usage of the word "manipulative" is triggering and a slur. as is usage of the word persevating, psychotic, addict, alcoholic etc.

How to untrigger words:
Change paranoid to afraid.
Change manic to high energy.
Change mental illness to mental health concern.
Change non-compliant/resistant to careful.
Change acting out to traumatized.

They sent me to the youtube channel Multiplicity and Me.

Heading to a session about how to counter arguments DID isnt real. Dude that was to run the session the DIRECTOR AND FOUNDER of the DID Movement decided not to show up at the last minute....

Attachment is the book I was given when i registered.

Ended up in a topic on parenting and dissociation supposedly the alters wouldn't allow the lady to deliver her baby because they wanted to keep playing with him inside.

They have breakout rooms tehre are FORTY therapist stating they actively have DID!

Podcast of one of the therapists:

https://www.systemspeak.org/podcast

Therapist break outs getting even crazier. Some seek out to diagnosis their clients as DID and brought their therapists/clients to this conference.

One of the therapist client team is presenting now they are COLLEAGUES and work together this is completely against any code of ethics a therapist has.

Never thought I'd go to a conference for therappists and hear one say "Yea I have to tell my clients when I get commited since I wont be able to see them during that."

Day 2 - The Final Dawn

Never raid the night before a conference.....4 hours of sleep plus specials meant i had even LESS tolerance. Also, reason your not getting specifics are they made us all sign a confedentiality clause when we signed up and there were about 500 to 600 participants. It seemed sessions were aimed to both professionals and SJW Youtube DID. Multiplicity and Me was there.

Colin Ross the person who runs the ISSTD and is the largest name in DID was there. He was the consulting expert for United States of Tara. He did two seminars one on skeptics of DID and one on Crisis. The skeptics one was pretty much 1.5 hours of "if the excuse was used for any disorder but did it wouldnt fly" the crisis one was better and it actually pissed off the snowflakes when he made gallows DID jokes.

2nd session of day the speaker begged us not to out her as DID or she'd lose her job. She was an OT who for some reason felt that allowed her to treat DID.

3rd session : 2 speakers just didnt show up. Was stuck in a boring session on how to love oneself. Can't really discuss it cause i spent the session tabbed out playing Empty Soul.

4th session was actually pretty good session it did not allow anyone iwth DID in and was for treating professionals only. It mainly discussed how there definitely was a group there that was DID and a group there that was Borderline.

There were enough attendees that were in. by choice or force, incestuous relationships that a breakout was made for them. They just shoved em all together. An offshoot of AA actually seems to run 12 steps for this.

Now for some snowflake moments:
Mother explains child with DID has to misbehave because she has 20 alters that live in her fingers that decide when and how they can move.

Chat was offputting because they could see other peoples opinions that differed from theirs and it triggered them so much they had to leave.

Japenese presenter was anti-white europeans because she compared western and eastern opinions of psychiastry and discussed the history of Bedlam which they wont believe was real. (Bedlam for those that do not know was the first real asylum and it treated mental patients as zoo animals on display and it was made by white europeans) In teh same sentence the person complained that there wasnt enough BIPOC representation. (the attendeees were 99% white women yet they said its a myth that this disorder is predominately in white women) They were demanding this woman be pubicly punished.

One person's alters were all names of people from USOT. It made me laugh.

Someone was shilling the DID bots and discords that have been seen here in past.

DiscoveringDID was shilling stuff.

Being multiple makes them better therapists because they can just age shift to the age of their client.

Many want DID to stop being a mental illness stating that its neurotypicals making that decision. Of course they still want to get disability and accomdations for it though just like autism.

People upset that they lose jobs when outted for being emotionally unstable therapists. They feel that they should be allowed to treat clients while being overly symptomatic.

Someone was recommending some books, one summary was:
"Lesbian Necromancers in space"

Jesus Christ. Way to feed into symptoms of paranoia, guys. That certainly ain't gonna go really wrong anywhere.

How to untrigger words:
Change paranoid to afraid.
Change manic to high energy.
Change mental illness to mental health concern.
Change non-compliant/resistant to careful.
Change acting out to traumatized.

Many of these would give a completely different meaning to what you're trying to describe. If I say someone is afraid, when what I mean is that they think the government placed a tracking device inside their spine, you might just think they have a phobia of spiders and not a dangerous delusion.

A couple of them don't even make sense to me. How does being non-compliant with a treatment plan equal being "careful"? Again, that sounds like feeding into paranoia, you not taking your anti-psychotics is just you being 'careful'. That's the last thing you should ever do in treatment, am I wrong?

How does 'acting out' equal that the person has been through trauma. Yeah, often people with trauma behave in unusual ways to certain situations, but when I hear 'acting out' I think of a little kid throwing a tantrum for a cookie, not someone having a panic attack in a dark closet because it reminds them of getting raped.

Mother explains child with DID has to misbehave because she has 20 alters that live in her fingers that decide when and how they can move.

Sounds like we've got a munchie on our hands. She can go hang out with Susan Schofield, I think they'd get along splendidly.

Being multiple makes them better therapists because they can just age shift to the age of their client.

Ah, and they can do this at will, apparently. Of course. Not faking anything at all.

Not DID necessarily, but this narcissist-positivity blog npdsafe seems to be mixing NPD with DID by claiming similar symptoms that don’t generally interact in the DSM. Also, apparently narcissism is now a slur used by terfs, as is gaslighting, others must treat you kindly but you should be allowed to abuse them all you want because you’ve been abused, and people with empathy are just bragging.

Interesting reading for ya NPD does have empathy its just broken:
"However, clinical presentations of NPD suggest that empathy is not simply deficient in these individuals, but dysfunctional and subject to a diverse set of motivational and situational factors."
Empathy in NPD

Only disorder that truly has no empathy is anti-social personality disorder and its not even considered a mental illness really because they are compeltely sane just their brain does not respond to people any different then it does to objects. That why they can be so manipulative a person has the same value as a pencil or a chair they are merely a tool.

Uh oh, sounds like bad news for this blog. That would mean that they can actually try to improve themselves and repair their dysfunctional empathy towards people, which would mean work. I have a feeling they are not going to like this.

Imagine being a mental health professional that needs to debate the validity of this illness and then you see a slew of people that are clearly faking it for attention and just muddying the waters even more.

So... Might be weird for me to be lurking here but I've actually been diagnosed with DID. I struggle A LOT so I've been in a lot of hospitals with a lot of different doctors. I know this is still anecdotal... but I've never experienced a doctor doubting my DID. Thats usually a red flag to me that makes me so uncomfortable with these tumblr people- the fact that they feel like doctor prejudice is such a problem. I've never had trouble with any doctor, not one. Surely they can find somone who will listen and dont need to self dx? Usually, they have a really easy time telling people apart. And contrary to popular opinion dr collin ross doesn't hand out the diagnosis to everyone because I've seen people at UBH fake and the drs there know exactly how to navigate it.

Offhand?

You're already picking up that they're faking. It's...kind of the safest guess when somebody self-dx'es and insists that doctors don't believe them.

And I'm pretty sure you're with anybody who has problems of this kind: seriously confused as to why anybody would want this shit to be wrong with them--especially the shit where you break down the suicide rate on what point they an hero themselves & find that it's usually when they're perfectly lucid.

oh do i have my own personal lolcow regarding this, though i was a witness to the whole thing.

a friend of mine was dating a girl i was also friends with. they were both older teens and this happened a few months ago, towards the end of 2020. one day, their girlfriend (i'll refer to her as lily) approached me and a few others in a dm and said that she had did. i was very skeptical of this when she started going over her alters, claiming them to be people from the mcyt/dsmp fandom. for those that are unaware, she was claiming that her alters were, in fact, from real people, specifically tubbo, dream, and badboyhalo from the dsmp. i believe that lily claims to have more now but i haven't checked her socials in a while.

as this progressed, i saw the strain it was putting on my friend. they came to me one day in a dm to say that they were stressed out from it because their girlfriend's "alters" have been dating the "alters" of two others, all originating from the dsmp. it was pretty fucked up as it felt like they were finding an excuse to ship irl people but were able to hide behind the fact that "oh, it's just our alters so we don't actually condone shipping people with each other!"

they soon confronted lily in a dm with myself in it after a bit of discussion and tried to convince her to stop playing the charade. it ended poorly with lily claiming she had did since she was 6 or 7, saying her first alter was a fictive of the female protagonist from pokemon bw2. the issue with this is that she would've been around 9 when the games came out, and she claimed to have been hiding her did in fear that this would happen. yet she hasn't once experienced any of the true symptoms of having did; i don't recall her ever having memory issues and her alters seemingly acted the same as her. she even claimed that she was "front-locked" as one of her alters for two weeks while she was dating my friend and had the alter fake her responses to actions. when i asked my friend about this further, they said that they truly couldn't tell that there was an alter fronting because it was the same reactions they'd expect of lily.

it's pretty sad how lily fucked up the relationship by bringing fake did into it as i saw how happy they were together, even if they were only teens and i was sure it wouldn't last long.

Children need to stop posting there mental illness on the internet publicly and get some help, I don't know what exactly is all of this, but I swear god someone is using this to get there sick kicks out of this
