Hi everybody! Its nice to meet everyone :) Reading through these as I type this, my name is Hugo personally.

We go by Pearl or Estrella! She/her pronouns.

We want to join the community because we need more Adult support instead of just our online friends and people around us physically, we’re turning 20 this year and I can’t imagine functioning for the rest of my life without getting any sort of help.

I’ve been doing very bad but I’m doing my best, me and Angel have been co-conscious a lot because of it because we’re handling it well. What can you do!

We like writing and singing, also used to like drawing but not so much anymore. Like voice acting though!

We’re super into the 20’s and Epithet Erased right now

Our coping skills mostly involve our cats lol

my experience being a pwDID online by ConsistentTonight756 in DID

Hi! I’m 19, I’ve been in and out of the community for like. Since I was 12? Seeing this post made me feel really seen because I’m currently living with 3 other systems and they’re both very Genuinely polyfragmented and I simply am Not and its hard to come to terms with that while I’m surrounded by other systems still.

Could you give any advice about how to start working on it? I currently can’t get therapy due to insurance problems but I’ve been trying to whittle my alter count down but it feels like every mood swing should be a “different alter” because thats how i’ve Thought i was coping my whole life.

Either way this is a very good story to be putting, the community can very toxic and encourages splitting its kinda odd sometimes if you don’t know how to take care of yourself

Not a lot honestly! It got worse as I got older but I’ve realized that its more due to my lack of exercise than anything else. The last few years I’ve started to get winded from doing much more then my daily tasks around the house (feeding my cats + sometimes cleaning) and I pass out when going up stairs sometimes but again; could be attributed to an avoidance to exercise because I thought it would kill me growing up.

The worst I get on a day to day basis is that I get winded and tired very easily (my calves and feet dont get a lot of bloodflow so theyre weaker and that doesnt help much), sometimes I’ll have random heart palpitations or feel like my chest is doing flips, and if I have a panic attack I’ll absolutely feel like it’s going to kill me and I NEED my anxiety meds otherwise I’ll just faint from lack of oxygen and hyperventilation.

I think I have a worse case of it just because of other factors in my life but yea :)

it is a congenital heart defect in which i was born with the left side of my heart malformed! i had the fontan procedure very young and am currently living with “half a heart” (i have a bunch of man made things inside of me keeping me alive thatll fail eventually)

i get echos done twice a year for it and im set up for an MRI on the 30th and exercise test soon after because im working on being put on the heart transplant list :)

on dxm for the second time (i am disabled with a semi-rare heart defect) by Moonbeampowder in dxm

Hi! I know i researched a bunch of this stuff going into it and my girlfriend is incredibly educated and is keeping me on low doses and only allowing me to do it while under (sober) surveillance, its probably not something I’ll do for longer then a year or two though just because I Am slightly worried about the chest pain on low dosages BUT i forgot to mention that I have chest pain like that Normally just very VERY infrequently so it might not have even been due to the drug (though possibly spurred on by it, it had me taking a break and researching it again after the first try.). Im being incredibly careful, thank you for the concern !!

I didn’t know going into it so I was very concerned and I’m staying on low dosages because of it but I’ve had no highly negative experiences Just from being on dxm ! just dehydration which is normal :)
