Y’all, this was an extremely profound read with such a happy ending.

Please, please give it a look, as it confronts western concepts of what it means to “heal” and how to define a “self,” and touches on so many fascinating things about the mind—centered on one woman’s recovery.

Having a partner with DID is wild sometimes y’all.

I know there’s an instance for plural folks but I feel like it might be helpful if I could to talk to other folks who’ve been in relationships with member(s) of a system before. It’s such a unique situation that I just don’t think folks would get it if they have no lived experience with it. I’m not even sure what hashtags I’d use to reach out for community?

Suggestions welcome.

Earlier I looked at my book, sitting proudly on my shelf, and I thought... wow. I wrote that, and published it. I wasn't going to publish this at all, but I'm so glad I did, because it seems to have made a lot of people very happy so far.

Dissociative identity disorder is, to me, both the most sad disorder but also the most scientically amazing. #mentalhealth #thursday #did #DissociativeIdentityDisorder

Another #DissociativeIdentityDisorder ramble:
When dissociating means feeling like you’re in this constant echo of yourself for infinity, checking in for just that moment on each other.
It feels like a super power, but is so exhausting.

I think that we are at an interesting time for #plural people. Socially speaking, plurality is an emerging identity that is just starting to gel into an established cultural idea. It's up to us to determine, from the inside, the shape of that idea. I still see a lot of questions from new multiples, asking things like "we're like this, is this normal?" We don't have a 'normal' yet. You get to decide with us.

#Introduction time I guess! This account belongs to a 🇨🇦 #plural system ( #DissociativeIdentityDisorder ) with several members who are #artists #writers and #musicians. Main front and usual poster is One Faraday. I have co-authored several #horror stories with my #headmate Ronin Ellis, some of which were performed on the #nosleeppodcast. I also love to paint and I do #portraitcommissions.

Have you guys read my latest blog post yet? I know I've been talking a lot about #DissociativeIdentityDisorder recently, because one of the MCs in my upcoming book The Summer We've Had has it, but I realised I haven't really explained what it is.

Until now! Read on to learn about this surprisingly little-known type of PTSD, and why I've written about it.

So I need to write an #introduction
I'm just a disabled Dutch 20 year old queer here to have some fun
I'll talk about media I'm interested in (problematic or not), being pagan, my own ocs and stories and my disabilities
I have #Dyspraxia #Dyslexia #arfid #AvoidantPersonalityDisorder and #DissociativeIdentityDisorder

Hi so hum, we are the Raven system (we have #DissociativeIdentityDisorder) and I (Lou, the host) still don't know how to use Mastodon. We are #french but sometimes stuck in English because we have some American #fictives #alters. The host is #Trans and #agender. We write some stuff on our WordPress at https://nyxspeakupblog.wordpress.com/

@YourQueeringTherapist I’ve come to accept that things die around me more frequently because they’re comfortable doing so. I provide a safe place to rest one’s head for the last time.

And that being diagnosed with #DissociativeIdentityDisorder has actually made things way more easy for me. Suddenly, I understand myself in a way I never had before. It’s weird, but beautiful.

Processing #DissociativeIdentityDisorder is like having amnesia and slowly remembering who you actually are.

I just colored my hair a different color for the first time in almost four years. Some things happened in all of those years that I think slowly each of us backed out. Eventually, we weren’t left with much of us. We learned to survive.

But then the first protector stepped in and he gently stirred each of us with a single question: how did we get here again?

If you've known me for a while, you'll know that I'm soon going to be releasing my debut lesfic book, The Summer We've Had, a sunny Sapphic love story in which one of the main characters has Dissociative Identity Disorder.

BUT you might not know what Dissociative Identity Disorder is! So I've written a blog post about it. If you're interested, please check it out!
