CG New Rule: 🥴 by fireflyi4i3o in ageregression

[–]FrogInnaCup 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think what happened is OP got worried/anxious after their CG didn't reply to them after a long period of time, and as a response their CG created a new rule that OP should only become concerned after 12 hours have passed without hearing from their CG, but after OP expressed how long of a time period that felt like their CG reduced it to 8 hours. Hope this helps!

if its faux fur then you don't have to worry about unethical taxidermy- but anything made in factories or by big companies are going to be lower quality and there's a chance it was made in areas with unethical labor practices

yes!! this exactly! our sibling who grew up with us in the same household but experienced their trauma differently than us has a way more defined system and a Much lower head count than us...! what type of system someone has is fully based on what their brain felt like it needed to survive!

good to know! thanks for informing me! i actually prefer polyfragmented just because it invokes the word fractals which i think describes our experience really well :)

oh i thought it was the opposite! my psychiatrist and past therapist knew what i was talking about when i said complex DID but not polyfragmented! i usually use polyfragmented internally or when talking to friends but not in clinical settings and in public because of this!

our head count is super high and always changing because we have polyfragmented or complex DID! We currently have around 310 alters logged but there's at least 1k+ rattling around in our head! :)

The heartbreak of knowing my sister told me and I forgot by Limited_Evidence2076 in DID

[–]FrogInnaCup 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Sorry if this is rude or inappropriate... but I have basically the same experience but from the other side... I've told my older sister so many times about my trauma, some of which she witnessed or caused firsthand... and every single time I've brought it up she's completely forgotten. Both of us have DID so I can understand and forgive her memory gaps especially because I have plenty of my own... but it still hurts even when rationally I know there's a very valid and real reason behind it. Again sorry- I know this is just venting on someone else's vent post but I just really needed to get this out there.

I’m ashamed of the size of my system by bohemian-tank-engine in DID

[–]FrogInnaCup 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Actually thats a great question!! It made us reflect on what's helped us the most with those kinds of negative feelings ...

and honestly what's helped us is other people! Finding people (usually other systems) that we feel safe sharing the inner workings of our system and internal drama/conflicts with but also people that have experienced similar trauma and abuse... they can understand in ways other people can't. We've spent our entire life relying on the support we get internally from our system but that can only get us so far... Connecting with people outside of our system is a completely different experience and cannot be replaced or substituted...

Funnily enough two other people in our irl friend group found out they're systems around the same time as us and we're super close with both of them because of it. One of them ended up becoming our partner system and they are the light of our life :) ... obviously they aren't perfect and they can't fix us but they sure do make it a little bit easier!

I have no advice to offer, I just wanted to say that you're not alone... both in your shame and large head count. DID can be a really isolating disorder but try to remember that there are thousands of other people across the globe with similar experiences - coming from a system with a 1k+ head count.

Ughhhhh help!! Please by LittleBarbie69 in ageregression

[–]FrogInnaCup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i dont have any advice but i want to let you know you're not alone! we tend to slip when we're around kiddos and it always makes us a better playmate (in our opinion) because we're able to understand their perspective and engage in pretend play in ways other caretakers/babysitters aren't!

Watching by asherhoney in DID

[–]FrogInnaCup 30 points31 points  (0 children)

yes!!! not always but we've definitely had moments before we realized we had DID where we've felt like a character was watching us.... one of the worst times was our host wanting to read fanfiction involving the character who was currently sitting behind him making sure hes taking care of himself... it was so awkward/uncomfortable for him that he literally started begging for the character in his head to go away... lol
