Y'all Remember The White Gilgamesh? I'm Going To Make Something Worse, Something Better; The Orange Gilgamesh.

yeah, sorry i exhibited symptoms of the disorder i told you i have. it will happen again because i have that disorder and will continue having it. hope this helps!! 🫶🫶🫶

daily amnesia in DID is something i don't see talked about that much, i see regular amnesia (ie not being able to remember years of your life, traumatic memories etc) talked about but never the daily things.

daily amnesia is on a day to day basis never being able to remember important things, did i take my medicine this morning? did i shower yesterday? have i eaten yet? what have i been doing for the past hour? what was i supposed to do today?

daily amnesia REALLY fucking sucks because whenever you start suffering you remember every other time you've been suffering and just scold yourself for not getting help and not getting better - but when the moment it's over? it's completely gone from your memory. it's so much suffering and you're so stuck because how can you ever get help for something you can't remember? you're always in a constant state of 'feeling fine' and when you end up getting help and going to therapy there's nothing to talk about because there's nothing you remember.

every day is groundhog day where you are forced against your will to repeat it over and over for god knows how long.

I know nobody sees these posts, but I thought I'd post this anyway. My system and I are working on a data compendium of all things Complex Dissociative Disorders. This includes studies, diagnostic criteria, lived experiences of people with said disorders, and generally any information that would help clinicians and the general public to understand these disorders. If there's a study, book, or other reputable source of information that you would recommend we include data from or link, please send it our way. -Phantom

I agree with all of this, and want to add my own take in. If there's any reason you should be fakeclaiming people, which there isn't, then it should be because they Don't have fictives from popular media. The more popular the media is, the more people watch it. The more people watch it, the more systems see it, and therefore more systems will split fictives of it. Claiming somebody's faking because they adhere to basic statistics is obtuse and obscene. I absolutely expect to see plenty of dream fictives, hazbin hotel fictives, office, or whatever other popular media. It's literally common sense, please dearest readers, use some critical thinking before you start shouting and pointing at people because they watched popular media while going through struggles. -Em, forever disappointed in the internet

certain fictives make me suspicious. i wont believe you're a system if you have a dream fictive, or anyone from hazbin hotel, or if you have the entire cast of one of those super popular shows. sorry. that's just how we work.

Interesting take and I do see where you're coming from, however this is essentially fake claiming an entire group of people, including those who have diagnosed systems who happen to have introjects from popular media.

There are a lot of reasons people split introjects, including stress and overwhelming experiences, and people with DID can split even after the brain has finished the majority of it's development, especially if they remain in an unsafe environment or they are stressed and already have a system caused by disassociation. Introjects are just another way that the brain choses to process trauma, albeit..a complicated one.

Some "introjects" are simply alters who feel they connect with a character, rather than someone they believe they are.

However, holding that in mind; systems online often chose to share alters, and experiences that they feel others may connect with, who wish to speak or who want to speak/post. We have many alters who don't post for various reasons, and experiences we don't talk about because they're too personal/too triggering etc, but that doesn't mean that they don't exist or didn't happen.

If someone states they have a lot of introjects from a recent popular show/film/fandom/book, and don't show other symptoms then I may become suspicious but flat out stating they can't be a system if they happen to have x character in their head is just... anyway-

Anon, unless you happen to be a psychologist, you don't have the right to entirely say that someone cannot have DID.

I hope I worded this okay. :)

POTS pro tip - if you need to stand up or stay standing and your blood is going to pool in your feet, squeeze all of the muscles in your legs, HARD. It will help keep blood from pooling by forcing your blood vessels to constrict. The Air Force trains their pilots to do it so they don't pass out under high g forces, so it works. If it's not working, try doing it sitting until you feel like you've got the hang of it. If it still doesn't work, at least you tried.
