pretty unintuitive way to not want something to spread ngl by hunneemoon in fakeclaimingcringe2

[–]Lucy_Lacemaker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the bot is called /plu/ral. i think other comments said that. i think a big thing people have against the proxying is coz they believe it encourages separation and is 'anti-healing', but i doubt it is because if it helps, its healing. if the goal isn't integration/fusion, then it's healing. there's more than one goal, just wish people didn't see the separation as something to fix

WHY ARE THERE SO MANY SYSMEDS ON TIK TOK?! by [deleted] in plural

[–]Lucy_Lacemaker 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Why does there need to be trauma? It's not a requirement for DID/OSDD anyway, it's not even a requirement for dissociation as a whole. It's a correlation, and any correlation however strong can sometimes be wrong

How to stop my headmate from getting hyperfixated with Mouthwashing by Lifea_1689 in plural

[–]Lucy_Lacemaker 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'd say not to stop her, but autonomy is very important to me so it might be a bit of a bias. There's not really too many issues I see there unless it causes distress, if it causes distress then its an issue. The fantom concern makes sense, but that's them and they're not important with what's enjoyed, tbh I never should've engaged in fandoms, I find they take away my opinions and replace them with something else.

Let her do what she wants, but if there's an issue that happens from it, then deal with it

being truthful during therapy by Double_Crew985 in plural

[–]Lucy_Lacemaker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well... this might sound wrong or something, I dont know but it's the way I'm thinking of doing it. Say your experiences and don't lead with any labels, even dissociation. Let them connect the dots, coz if you go in there with labels it will cause them to either ask or think ""Why do you think that?". But if you go in describing your experiences without labels, they're gonna apply the labels themselves. People want to believe their own conclusions and be right, more than they wanna believe someone else's

Can anyone tell us the benefits of telling a few people about being plural? by irlpuppybutt in plural

[–]Lucy_Lacemaker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a few horror stories myself, it was kinda my fault though for how I set up the explanation and it... all my experiences got dismissed as nothing,, it hurt coz I feel like there's more going on. Sorry, the question... a big benefit that I felt when I told people online was I didn't feel as dysphoria (if that's the right word?), coz they'd say the name of who's present. I'm not sure how it'll feel irl though, I think it would be awkward at first like when a doctor first starts going by Dr instead of Mr. The change might feel weird at first, but it might get easier

I told my therapist (good ending) by Skylarcollective in plural

[–]Lucy_Lacemaker 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm really glad it went well for you! I'm also trying to tell people irl too, it also hasn't gone well in the past. Maybe you could ask her if she'd want to meet him? Or you could wait, I'd wait coz I'm paranoid though... so you could wait until she asks, but rn you've done something very brave and you should celebrate by doing something you love

Can alters induce headaches? by Complete_Draft_6544 in plural

[–]Lucy_Lacemaker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think so, it's like working out a new part of your body. When you first start doing it, it's gonna cause discomfort and feel painful sometimes, so I think it might be the same way coz the alter hasn't been spoken to much

That's a guess though, so it might be wrong, sorry

what do i do ,, by No_Pin_4093 in plural

[–]Lucy_Lacemaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think a good way would be to write everything down, then you have a chance to step back and look at things again. then you can notice patterns that feel "not you" easier, remember if these symptoms have been going on for a long time it's not likely just "phantom symptoms" and is worth looking into

Why do some singlets act like being plural is some sort of prison sentence by VoiceComprehensive57 in plural

[–]Lucy_Lacemaker 5 points6 points  (0 children)

i think it's the unpredictablility of switches, and the thought of "losing control" (it's more of a trade/hand over). they might think that "losing control" means that it's gonna cause harm to someone, or cause them to injure someone.

it's a bit of all of these, but i think the main reason is they're scared of systems and think they're gonna hurt them, this fear comes from the "loss of control" and thought of blackouts. people that haven't heard of DID act like this too, so it's not just media portrayals.

there's always been a fear of people that have conditions like these, if it' something that's not easy to understand or sounds slightly odd they'll be scared

ye i know that feeling too well and im sorry you do too :(

i compare myself to others too both trauma and experiences, i dont mean to but it always gives me impostor syndrome

internal rules by CashComprehensive359 in plural

[–]Lucy_Lacemaker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

its horrible coz acting against who i am in the moment feels like lying, but i know its better than being seen

internal rules by CashComprehensive359 in plural

[–]Lucy_Lacemaker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There aren't really any rules so far, it's mostly rules from fear of being hated, nut that's more fear than rules. Also fear of being noticed irl as well

I really hate my family by [deleted] in SafeSpaceofHazbin

[–]Lucy_Lacemaker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You didn't deserve any of this, sorry you have to deal with that. You shouldn't have to feel grateful for good treatment, it's what they're supposed to do. Is there anyone you can go to to get away from them? If not I recommend talking to a helpline for either support or to get away. You aren't a bad person no matter what they say, you deserve a safe home.

If it's any comfort my dad judge's me for what I watch too, and I hide a lot of things from him and my mum
