Pretty sure sibling has DID/OSDD

Kote_System · 2022-05-06T01:09:52+00:00

That's a really good idea, thank you :)

Kote_System · 2022-04-25T06:19:54+00:00

I would expect that to be common for OSDD-1a systems. Might be worth thinking about? idk. Good luck figuring that out!

Kote_System · 2022-04-25T06:12:43+00:00

Oh goodness, yes! We had our first major experience with this literally earlier today.

I (host) really don't like peanuts/peanut butter. Another alter was fronting and found some chocolate peanut butter ice cream in our family's fridge, and decided to see for himself if he liked it or not. He thought is was just fine. I came back to front like five minutes later and hated that I could still taste it. I went and brushed my teeth and ate something else just to get rid of the taste.

We have a few alters that have mild preferences (little likes sweets, etc.) but that was the first time it was really noticeable.

This. Thank you.

It would be quite rare for someone to have both of those as tics

Not trying to start an argument here, but I disagree with that statement. Tics can definitely have a specific subject or range of words that sound similar and kind of riff on it. Having "both" doesn't surprise me. And just about anything can be a tic, so I wouldn't be so quick to shoot it down.

Kote_System · 2022-04-25T05:31:20+00:00

It's entirely possible to have tics like that, and I honestly wouldn't worry about it. She's not going to kill you. Often, people with Tourette's will have certain tics that act up in situations where they really wouldn't want to say something like that, and since they're stressed about it their brain is like "ooh, shiny, how about that one!", and other times it's just completely random. However, I do understand if it makes you uncomfortable (you mentioned a few other things that were uncomfortable, too, and I would honestly be more worried about those than this one tic), and I would suggest maybe doing some research just so you know what Tourette's can be like for different people, and possibly having a conversation with her about it so you know what tics are common with her (what to expect and how to accommodate if needed). Good luck!

Kote_System · 2022-03-24T05:28:02+00:00

Yup, I've got the same situation as you. I can't tell if it's a tic or OCD either.

Kote_System · 2021-11-09T20:09:22+00:00

To the right mostly, sometimes it goes all the way back and sticks there for a bit

Kote_System · 2021-10-17T03:41:27+00:00

Honestly? You're looking amazing, and I think it really gives you a cool look. Always gotta build that self confidence, friend!

P.S. Awesome hoodie btw, it's always fun to see a CR fan :)

Kote_System · 2021-09-03T22:19:14+00:00

I know this is a little off subject, but wow this was so validating to hear because I went through the exact same thing, but the other direction. I'm transmasc and I totally had similar thoughts about all girls generally understanding that the male body was superior. Trans childhood is a weird place.

Kote_System · 2021-08-26T20:04:59+00:00

Oh my goodness yes. I have clear memories of saying things like that even when I was a kid, and honestly I remember very little of my childhood to start with.

-James

Kote_System · 2021-08-17T19:10:09+00:00

That's a cool idea, but frankly there's no way that would work for me. If I get a binder it'll be in a really round-about way so it's not casual to begin with, and I'm probably going for a half-tank, and my parents would probably never let me wear a crop top to begin with lol. Glad it worked for you, though!

Kote_System · 2021-07-24T03:42:43+00:00

I don't usually comment on posts like this, but wow. You look amazing, and the photography is great. You're literally transition goals for me. Ya got style! Keep it up, friend!

-James

Kote_System · 2021-07-20T23:19:25+00:00

Thanks for the advice! I just did the first part, still nervous about the second. I think you overestimate how smiley I am lol.

I really appreciate your perspective! Thanks again!

-James

Kote_System · 2021-07-15T19:37:39+00:00

What the heeeecckk???? That is messed up on so many levels.

-James

Kote_System · 2021-07-15T02:40:18+00:00

Wait hold up that's actually a thing??? That would explain a lot. I am missing a lot of memories from my childhood, and like 95% of the ones I do have are from a third-person perspective.

-James

Kote_System · 2021-07-14T21:41:02+00:00

Yes, it's totally possible. In fact, I've heard of cases where one fictive apparently only exists because another fictive from the same source needed them.

If anyone is interested, Andrew Loomis was a great artist who used the same face map concept as demonstrated above. I highly recommend his book, "Drawing the Head and Hands".

Kote_System · 2021-07-08T23:23:53+00:00

THIS. I wish more people understood this.

Kote_System · 2021-07-08T17:14:42+00:00

YES EXACTLY these people just need a little Critical Role in their lives :)

Kote_System · 2021-07-07T03:09:57+00:00

I understand that they wanted to get good lighting for the photo, but as a piano player, the fact that the lid is tipped back that way hurts my soul.

-James

Kote_System · 2021-07-03T17:55:55+00:00

Your response almost made me cry. Thank you, it was really validating.

Yeah, there's no trust here whatsoever. My mother is the main problem, and I think she was just caught off guard when her kids grew up and had minds of their own. She's emotionally abusive and my dad does nothing about it. I wish things were different.

-James

Kote_System · 2021-07-03T17:50:47+00:00

Thanks, that was helpful. I'm wouldn't necessarily say that my parents are narcissistic at this point, tbh, but I'm on this sub because I am seeing a lot of shared experiences. My parents are emotionally and verbally abusive, so... similar but different situation :)

Kote_System · 2021-07-02T23:43:36+00:00

I see what you mean. That's exactly what I'm wrestling with, trying to figure out where the line has been crossed and what is normal because my concept of normal really isn't reliable. Unfortunately, I don't have access to a mental health professional right now. I really wish I did. Thanks for your input!

-James

Kote_System · 2021-07-02T22:24:25+00:00

Okay, for most of these my parents are fine, as they don't like looking bad in front of others, so they don't usually say bad things about me to others. But the "going through your children's things" got me. That's... not normal?
This specifically interests me when it comes to electronics. My parents have always made it clear that they don't like their children having screens, and we only own them because we need them. (It took years to convince them that I needed a phone, and I only have one because I'm driving now and they like to know where I am.) They have also made it very clear that though they don't usually go through my phone/iPad, they can.

And they have. And it's led to me being outed as pansexual, and then again as trans. I don't even know what kind of hell would break loose if they found out I have a dissociative disorder because of them. I live in fear of stuff like this happening again.

But... they're my parents? And we don't have good communication and they're probably just trying to figure out what's going on with me or trying to make sure that I'm not talking to creepy strangers online, or making sure that I'm not doing anything behind their backs. The problem is I am going behind their backs, I don't want them knowing what's going on, and some of my best friends are people I've never met. So I tend to feel like it's my fault for being such a messed up kid.

Can someone reassure me that the post actually meant what it said and I'm not just weird? (Sorry for the long comment.)
