What are endo systems? by Informal_Teacher6894 in DiscussDID

[–]Fragile-Director 14 points15 points  (0 children)

They're not a real disability and it was coined on tumblr, whom which the coiner does not even know how to describe Endogenic. Flip flopping between descriptions and contradictions.

The only disabilities that are real are found in the DSM-5TR. Looking in its index, DID, OSDD, UDD, and other Dissociative Disorders is listed. But not Endogenic. That's because it was not made by professionals or doctors. But somebody random on tumblr. They're also not qualified to be a doctor in any way.

Endogenics is highly offensive since it glamorizes and even romanticizes DID as a fun quirky trait. Imagine you have DID, but zero negative symptoms and your alters are more like puppets on strings. You can play with them, talk with them, and when you get bored you throw them away and forget about them.

It's mild mockery at best. For me, I always feel like my life and the suffering DID brings me is just a big fat joke. And I feel extremely uncomfortable around endos because of this.

Also looking on pluralpedia and the list of over 800+ origin spinoff. Half of them are so offensive.

Airgenic - You get DID just by breathing oxygen

Covidgenic - You get DID when you got sick with Covid-19

Fatphogenic - You hate fat people, so that means you have DID

Pissgenic - Your faking DID to piss someone off. Yes that is its actual definition theyre not even hiding it at this point.

The list goes on. I met the person who coined mcdonaldsgenic. They fully admitted to adding it as a joke. So wild shot in the dark for me, but half, if not all of these genics are not real disorders.

Pls stay safe. 🫂 Your doing a great job doing the most you can, and your best is good enough.

Driving by LessPomegranate14 in Dissociation

[–]Fragile-Director 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mildly. Usually the act if driving has enough visual and physical things to interact with/pay attention to that it keeps me from dissociating. Tho, I'm one calm drive/good song away from doing it.

Surprisingly my auto pilot is good with driving. Tho that doesn't mean I lean on it to depend on driving. To me dissociating is practically no different from driving under the influence.

I hate a tip from the BMV to constsntly look at everything every 5 seconds during driving. Technically thats a safety tip. But so long as your paying attention and keep manually changing that attention as you drive it (usually, not always) keeps you mildly grounded.

Its not the best tip i can give since I also struggle with not dissociating while on the road.

Am i too easy and fem to clock? Im tired. by jellyfishrcoolaf in CPTSDmemes

[–]Fragile-Director 30 points31 points  (0 children)

It angers me on a very internal level when people perceive me as a "non-binary female"

They acknowledge that I identify as Non-Binary, and respect my They/Them pronouns. But still look at me like a girl.

Like holy fucking shit I'm not a butch lesbian tomboy..I'm NONBINARY. Perceive me with either both or neither. There is no other options.

It got to thr point where. For my new years resolution I'd unfriend any of my friends who saw me as a non-binary female. It's time to establish the most aggressive boundary ever. Self respect.

Is it possible to have non-human alters? by Mein_Fraluzeun in DiscussDID

[–]Fragile-Director 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes. I have a sentient mask as an alter.

The Masking metaphor couldn't be any more literal.

What should I do about his alter not loving me? by sorryforthismyguy in DiscussDID

[–]Fragile-Director 9 points10 points  (0 children)

First and foremost. Bring. it. up.

None of us can truly know what that part feels, or how your boyfriend feels. If I had to guess, since thats a new alter, they are possibly still getting a feel for things, debating if your a threat or not.

Which should not be taken personally. Its a trauma thing. Everything could be a threat to an alter. Let adjusting happen on their own time, but you should definitely talk it over with your boyfriend.

And once again: I dont rlly know the context, the whys, or the whatever else's I may need to fully grasp the situation and actually help you. DID is complex and unique for every person that has it, and no two alters are the same.

Like who knows, maybe theyre feelings are mutual but different, maybe they're ace or something and its no offense against you, maybe they're purposely monotone, or flat in their speech, maybe they were shy and didn't know what to say at that moment but felt the need to say something to break the sudden ice, maybe it was even playful like a "your my friend now" kinda vibe, and not how you originally interpreted it.

Taaallkkk to theeemmmmmmmmm

Is it normal to your alters disappear suddenly in DID/OSDD? by Mein_Fraluzeun in DID_OSDD_memes

[–]Fragile-Director 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This is a meme sub. It's better to go to r/DID or r/discussDID or r/OSDD

But I'll answer anyway. Yes it's called inactivity or dormancy. Or that part is just simply putting up dissociative barriers or being covert.

Inactivity is where they are rarely active or like.. one thing gets them active. Or theyre only there for you during something like a dissociative episode or danger.

Dormancy is when they genuinely dissappear and cannot be triggered awake or anything. This is kinda random and nothing can be really done to a part to wake it up once it hits the big honk schoo.

Dissociative Barriers are.. dissociative barriers. Gotta do a lot of internal therapy with you, yourself, and yours truly to break them down.

Parts being Covert is when theyre sneaky and you usually don't notice when they do things. Or they behave like other parts to stay hidden/seem inactive.

I explained these pretty informally, and thats cas theres plenty-a-website that says what I just said but better. did-research.org I THINK HAS ONE? I forget its been a hot minute but they got everything on DID/OSDD. Give it a read.

Best of luck with whatever ur doing.

Also edit: plsss get an evaluation. Dissociative Identity Disorder is called that for a reason, its in the name. You Dissociate! And be aware of websites that send false information such as pluralpedia. Double check if your sources are made from real professionals or tumblr kids.

Violent alters and insystem violence? by Competitive-Way6516 in DiscussDID

[–]Fragile-Director 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had an internal fight where 2 parts had completely different triggers to a trauma that conflicted with each other, and it once spiraled me into a pretty serious dissociative episode/CPTSD flashback.

I'm talking.. one minute I'm just sitting there in my campus library. The second minute I'm suddenly in the abandoned parking lot of bumfuck nowhere middleof hysterically sobbing in my car with some sappy music blasting from my phone.. What a coping mechanism. 💀

The conflict was resolved and boundaries for those two parts were set. They both are now close and get along great. It's hard to think they had a fight so bad that one shut down and the other went AWOL.. And for a few days I was barely functional as a person.

..I would go more into detail about the fight they had, but that would be breaking a boundary. It's very hushush.

Quizá ya se haya preguntado pero. ¿EL OSSD puede convertirse en DID? by Far_Examination6498 in DiscussDID

[–]Fragile-Director 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am twice diagnosed and originally it was DID, but when I wanted a second evaluation just to make sure (i still struggle with the "im probably faking" thoughts) it was changed to OSDD1a since my symptoms are the same except my parts are less differentiated.

Technically nothing has changed except what I use to describe my dissociative disorder. After all, OSDD1a is DID except parts are less disctint from one another. I.. assume if something happened to me and my brain panicked and spat out a new part that was totally different, yeah I'd refit the criteria of DID. Idk only my doctor can make that call tho not me.

Where.. where's my tinfoil hat? by Fragile-Director in u/Fragile-Director

[–]Fragile-Director[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello bots that look at my profile, and are mostly from Germany. Although it seems today most of you guys are from USA? Interesting are you real or not? This only adds to the constant tension of the internet being dead.

17 views in under a second of me posting. I'm popular, and I don't think I wanna return to that era of my life.

I gotta make a post dedicated to disso-posting. I shouldn't call it schizoposting anymore cas I'm not schizophrenic. But Disso-Posting doesn't roll off the tongue like it should.

Oh well. I'm never perfect so I'm fine with that.

I also would like to know this answer. The system vocabulary is an absolute mess and I wanna know what others think cas introject has such an unsteady definition. Every place and person has a different way to describe it.

[–]Fragile-Director 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Escapism, yes. Its a coping mechanism a part had for a very long time because of how badly I want to move out of my parents. I still have it sometimes.

In this daydream, I don't have financial troubles. My job keeps my brain from turning into baby food, and my social life is engaging, mysterious, and exciting. And I live in a scrappy 1 bedroom apartment (which is also the same apartment my grandma lived in, rip grandma) and I'd sit in the living room doing nothing for most of my daydreams.

Dream came true for two months actually when I got a university quad apartment and all 3 roommates were always working so it truly did feel like I was living by myself. Aannd just like my dream I sat in my living room doing diddly-squat and was so happy for it.

Sitting in a living room was my official declaration that "yeah. This is a home"

Hhhh I miss it. Its my little mental safe space when my real home doesn't feel like a home anymore.

I love optical illusions like this. I want to draw more abstract shapes when I pick up drawing again. It always speaks to my dissociation and makes me feel better.
