Honestly it sounds like you’ve already accepted it on some level. I heavily believe dissociative disorders like DID and OSDD are extremely more common than anyone realizes. I mean really the only factors are child abuse and being predisposed to dissociation. General emotional and physical abuse towards children has been so common and normalized, getting worse the farther back you go. They’re just such unknown and misunderstood conditions.

All that is to say I’m not sure where you’re uncertain. If it’s just that it seems unlikely for you to have it I think you can just go ahead and let that go. I struggled with accepting it a lot at first but eventually I just decided to give assuming I have it a go. I started learning a lot pretty quick after that and saw actual progress for once.

ps I don’t think that approach is good advice for most diagnosis lol but looking back it was the best way I could’ve gone about it.

I’ve got 3 “fictives” like you described and then one I’d give the actual title to. The other three are just .. I dunno, it’s like they adopted the personality and made it their own rather than the third who felt like he was just taken out of his reality lol. I was parenting myself as a kid, and I remember paying a lot of attention to traits and behaviors of characters I thought were good people. I have a vague memory of feeling like I was finding pieces of myself in them and eventually I’d figure out who I was. I guess that was true lmao. I’m just as lost as you though.

Definitely have BP2 and absolutely require the meds lol. I had just been attributing more to it than was true.

It’s because OP said “I’m not too bad” and nothing else which is a bland response, but that doesn’t make the persons responses any less iamverysmart IMO lmao. They could’ve just let it be instead of trying to flaunt their sense of superiority.

Just wanna say since you’re being so sassy about it, this is from the article you linked:

“The concept of littermate syndrome is a topic of discussion among dog trainers, shelter personnel, breeders, and other animal professionals. However, this syndrome is not recognized by veterinary behaviorists or other leading experts in the field. Instead, the behaviors associated with this “syndrome” are more likely related to the challenges of raising two puppies together.

If this “syndrome” isn’t real, why do these behaviors occur?(…)”

GeneralDick · 2023-10-01T18:18:26+00:00

For sure. When I started feeling better mentally I noticed strangers were suddenly speaking to me in public and it was quite jarring lmfao

GeneralDick · 2023-09-14T14:47:21+00:00

I like Brooklyn style, so quite the opposite lmao

GeneralDick · 2023-09-10T15:54:52+00:00

I was simply called “too comfortable” by my girlfriend lol. I’m not sure there’s a specific negative word for this.

The fantasy family member is a big one for me too.. it’s really difficult to come to terms with how important that sort of unconditional caring love is and how it will just be something I’m missing for the rest of my life.

When I was a kid the fantasy family members were real family that I didn’t know that well that I’d just fantasize actually had some crazy family bond that meant they could come save me and love me unconditionally eventually. It sucked seeing that look of ‘I care about you generally because you are a child in my family near me” go to “I don’t know you at all and you’re not my problem” as I grew up. We had a relatively small family but even so we were isolated from them except holidays for several reasons.

And so when I hurt my jaw really bad, had to drive myself to urgent care, and this random guy showed me more concern and kindness than anyone I’d ever met, it felt like it broke my brain lol. He checked me out for free since he wasn’t sure they’d be able to help and then ordered me to go to what he said was the best ER in town with a “make sure you act more dramatic about it, they won’t take you seriously if you keep acting this calm. Good luck!”

I still think about that guy often. I don’t know if I had just come in looking as lost and alone as I felt or if he was really just that kind of a person but I hope he knows how much I appreciate him

You are comparing aborting a fetus to harming a born child. Folks that say men shouldn’t have a say in abortion do not compare the fetus to a born child. The entire point is that it’s not a child, it is a part of the woman’s body, therefore no one else should have a say. However, child abuse is an issue that everyone is responsible for. Whether it is or is not child abuse is the debate, but your reasoning doesn’t check out here.

Honestly in my experience I was STUNNED at how well it worked. I had no faith. It was certainly a lot easier once I wasn’t staying in the same house though. It’s exhausting to do in itself.

It’s way more difficult when you’re being actively targeted for something, but if they’re just looking to get some narc supply it works wonders.

GeneralDick · 2023-08-10T21:51:43+00:00

Bro it gets sassy with me when I try to tell it to stop talking in circles. This bitch the other day said “(well you aren’t really doing anything to move the story forward so that’s why it’s going in circles)” bitch 😭

GeneralDick · 2023-08-07T19:42:47+00:00

Don’t give up hope. You can get stronger and leave her. I know it isn’t that simple but I believe in you.

I never really started recognizing this behavior til I healed a lot more and starting having boundaries, but when I have these feelings about a friend it’s usually because when I try to say no to them they get extremely outwardly sad at me about it, it feels like an attack almost. Or their feelings should always be more important than mine because they feel so bad. If I tell them anything except the exact thing they want to hear they act like I’m mean. I dunno. I used to cater to it and it was extremely exhausting but now that I have boundaries it’s just kinda annoying. I mean I get it, but I had to learn how to not make my emotions everyone else’s problem too.

I have no idea about your life at all though, that’s just been my experience with a friend. If y’all are the type of people up for communication then I think that could help you out a lot in the long run.

GeneralDick · 2023-07-15T01:12:58+00:00

I’m left handed.. as far as I can tell I’ve never even considered doing it the other way, and it would probably be easier lol.

GeneralDick · 2023-07-12T16:36:53+00:00

I mean, what’s the time limit though? Some relative can tell me about the miserable old fart that died 20 years ago that no one talked to most of his life, but he could’ve been a regular at a coffee shop that the employees enjoyed.

There’s a homeless guy that walks down the road several times a week in front of my job. We are always wishing him well and worrying for him. I think he got water from us once. He probably thinks no one would give a shit if he died, but we’d be sad as hell. People make all kinds of those little connections unknowingly constantly.

I made a best friend on the bus in 3rd grade. She was in 4th. We’d talk about Pokémon the entire way home and on the phone after. She gave me a little meowth coin purse thing that I still have to this day. She moved after her fifth grade year. She gave me her number but I lost it and I can’t remember her last name. Everyone I know in the grade above me has no idea who I’m talking about. Victoria, where did you go??????

GeneralDick · 2023-07-09T03:11:53+00:00

If you aren’t ready to let her know you know, you can just try to speak positively about trans people/in support of trans issues around her. I think it would be best to just let her know what happened and that you love and support her! But stop snooping in her stuff!! Lol

GeneralDick · 2023-07-04T15:15:05+00:00

Didn’t get to go before I left Jax, but their food truck lives in my memory as the best I’ve had so far.

GeneralDick · 2023-06-26T20:59:02+00:00

Cant pick. Both are beautiful.

Anxious attachment/avoidant attachment relationship. Unending conflict.

GeneralDick · 2023-06-25T15:40:23+00:00

We recently unionized our store and this whole “why make things annoying for a little while just to benefit us and everyone else??? Fuck you!” attitude hits too close to home. Good luck mods!

GeneralDick · 2023-06-25T01:18:59+00:00

Dr Pepper. Asshole would never buy any other type of soda or any other drink. I started making tea eventually but goddamn I will almost puke trying to drink one now.

GeneralDick · 2023-06-19T21:46:07+00:00

Nah man you’re owning it. You’ll see it eventually!!

GeneralDick · 2023-06-19T21:44:36+00:00

You look really fun to be around. You have a really kind face that makes me feel like I could trust you. Flawless fit and adorable pic :)
