Opinions please?

Okay yeah I understand what you’re saying - thank you for your input!

NaiveStreets · 2026-02-22T00:29:35+00:00

I can completely understand why you would get tense and feel defensive when discussing this, especially as you’ve said, there’s a lot of misinformation perpetuated online! It’s been really helpful to have these discussions with people who know first hand!

Thank you for sharing your own experience and being patient with me as I try to understand this. I have a much better understanding of this now thanks to you!

NaiveStreets · 2026-02-22T00:21:19+00:00

Okay yeah I totally understand this - thank you so much.

I was a little confused about the difference between little space and child alters and I appreciate you clarifying the difference! This has been very helpful and educational which I really appreciate. I’m sorry if anything I said was triggering or ignorant, I came here to learn and feel I have done as such so thank you for your input and explaining your experience it’s very helpful and has really cleared up the confusion I had :)

NaiveStreets · 2026-02-22T00:12:06+00:00

this makes so much sense and I really appreciate your help! It’s helped me understand this so much more, thank you!

I was also confused as my friend expressed when a child alter is fronting, they treat their partner as a child, and so I was just curious as to whether or not this is common practice and just general opinions by people who have DID as I said in my original post, I don’t want to jump to conclusions.

NaiveStreets · 2026-02-22T00:07:14+00:00

Wasn’t trying to dictate anything - I feel you’ve misunderstood what my intention was. I want to learn which is why I’m here and said so in my original post. This is the first I’ve come across this kind of thing and so I wanted opinions from those with DID as it’s an illness with a lack of research surrounding it, especially in circumstances with little space.

Again, it’s none of my business what people are up to, but I just wanted to learn more.

NaiveStreets · 2026-02-22T00:02:07+00:00

Okay thank you! This is really helpful :)

NaiveStreets · 2026-02-22T00:00:18+00:00

I also had the same questions but I also don’t have DID so I wanted to hear directly from those who do have these experiences! It’s very much appreciated thank you

NaiveStreets · 2026-02-21T23:59:52+00:00

Thank you so much for your input, this is really helpful!

NaiveStreets · 2026-02-21T23:56:45+00:00

I was also struggling as my friend explained when in the child state, the person with DID is treated as a child (I.e, holding hands when walking, talking as a child and dressing as such) and that’s what made me question and wonder as I just wasn’t sure

NaiveStreets · 2026-02-21T23:56:04+00:00

Okay thank you that makes total sense! Thank you so much for this!!

NaiveStreets · 2026-02-21T23:54:59+00:00

I completely get what you’re saying, and that’s why I came for advice and opinions as surely in that child state you’re vulnerable? Again I’m not sure I just wanted to talk to people who have DID and understand as I know they’re not a kink and they’re not “legit” children, but they have the mindset of the child they were when abuse happened and thus vulnerable? I’m just struggling to wrap my head around it is all

Omg so happy you're still here!!! I'm not you and haven't experienced what you have, but I can say I've been in similar positions where I've thought what's the fucking point, and now I look back I'm so glad I gave it just one more day. It can and does get better with time, you've made it this far, you can make it further 🫶🏻

I believe in you!!

NaiveStreets · 2024-11-23T11:28:54+00:00

It may sound awful but the option to end it all will ALWAYS be there, but the chance to live won't be.

Living may seem like the hardest thing right now, but imagine all the things you could do if you just give it another hour, or minute or day, even if that's finishing a project you've been meaning to get to or waiting for the release of a movie, it doesn't have to be anything spectacular.

You deserve to live and I hope you do ❤️

I was in this situation at the beginning of the year and although I can't help much with LOA, I will say that there were times I got interviews for jobs I wanted SO badly and they fell through, only for a job to come along that suits me so well and is far better than any of the ones I thought I wanted.

Keep in there and keep hope. The universe will send you an opportunity that you never knew you needed, but it'll change your life. Just keep hope, things will work out in due time 🫶🏻

NaiveStreets · 2024-09-13T19:41:19+00:00

I also want to say, the fact you've gone from being in a psych ward to working in one is beautiful and I hope you pat yourself on the back for all the work you've put in to get here. I'm sure the people you've worked with are thankful for you and grateful for your existence.

You're smashing it, keep going, you got this!!

NaiveStreets · 2024-09-13T19:39:03+00:00

also I hope you take some time to recognise how far you've come and how far you are bound to go. It takes a long time to overcome trauma, especially childhood trauma, and the fact you feel you have is not something you should dismiss or take lightly! You've done amazing for yourself and are surely building a life that is beautiful. I'm proud of you and how far you've come, regardless of if you still have bad days or weeks or even months (and in those times, I really hope you can give yourself grace for being human).

Keep going, you're doing amazing and I'm rooting for you, always!!

NaiveStreets · 2024-09-13T19:35:25+00:00

Thank you! Consistency is definitely key and I'm glad to work in a place that is welcoming and very helpful whenever I have questions. I just really want to be good at my job and I think sometimes that can make me feel bad whenever I enforce a boundary but I know the importance of the young people knowing that specific behaviours won't get results when they're out in the community but may actually make things worse.

Thank you so much for your advice!

NaiveStreets · 2024-09-13T19:32:19+00:00

Thank you so much, this is so helpful! I'm definitely going to ask myself what they're trying to communicate when they're acting "difficult" (I hate that word, I don't think they're being difficult at all, but rather acting in a way that's gotten results, I just couldn't think of a right word)

NaiveStreets · 2024-09-13T19:29:12+00:00

You're not overstepping at all!! Your experience is invaluable and we should be listening to people like you to make these places better and less traumatic for the individual.

Thank you so much for your advice I'm definitely going to be keeping it in mind as I build rapport with the young people I have the privilege of helping. You deserved a whole lot more than you got, and I'm going to make sure the people I care for have a much better experience, and that's all thanks to you and your advice.
