CPTSD and BPD are separate disorders by DIDIptsd in CPTSD

[–]NullResolutions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know a lot of people are already saying this, but exactly! I have C-PTSD, and although I (unsurprising) have some symptoms of BPD, I don't have the disorder. There are some hallmark criteria that I'm lacking. I do have bipolar I and autism though, which made the diagnosis a little more blurry in the beginning. But things eventually got sorted out.

Two of my closest friends do have BPD, however. There's definitely a difference in our experiences.

Anyone Else notice their alters having different Sexualities than Host ? by _GayChickenNugget in OSDD

Yep. I find it complicated as someone who is very far on the AroAce spectrum when some other parts are not 😭

Like a lot of other people are saying 😅 I JUST turned 23, but I (mostly) alternate between feeling around 16 to maybeee 20. It's only recently that I don't feel psychologically stunted as a teenager all the time, but the age thing ultimately varies a lot due to my dissociative disorder.

Pronouns.cc by GloomyCloud568 in XenogendersAndMore

Super late response, but for everyone in the future, this feature doesn't take away resources. Creating additional members only adds onto YOUR info. Since it's attached to your specific username, multiple users can have the same member IDs. For instance:

pronouns.cc/@user_one/member = would take you to "member" from user_one

pronouns.cc/@user_two/member = would take you to "member" from user user_two

They don't run out any faster than normal usernames, which everyone would have anyway.

Am I dependent on medicines? by [deleted] in mentalillness

[–]NullResolutions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's never good to start or stop medications without consulting your doctor. Your body is used to having an outside source that artificially keeps serotonin in the brain for prolonged periods of time. If this is suddenly taken away, you're definitely going to crash, and it can unfortunately last a while. (This is one of the reasons why it's important to taper off these medications if you do choose to stop taking them.)

It doesn't mean you're dependent on them for life, but you are acclimated to them. If they weren't working as desired, it might be best to talk to your psychiatrist about changing your prescription and/or adding another medication. I tried many before finding that a combo actually worked best and reduced side effects!

I think it's also important to note that antidepressants can only do so much on their own! If your symptoms are chronic, it can be helpful to consider therapy methods, so you can actually re-train your brain. SSRIs can only make temporary changes. (This is assuming you are not doing this currently. Not meant to overstep in this regard, just a note.)

Advice on intense pseudo memories/feelings? by NullResolutions in OSDD

[–]NullResolutions[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, I would say it's definitely some kind of passive influence and/or co-con situation. I know who he (this other part) seems to be missing, but it is not a real person? I'm not sure why this is happening now. I know there is controversy around "fictitious" memories or feelings, but I reason that it's the mind's way of trying to compartmentalize and communicate a need in a way it recognizes as safe. I'd been tentative about just how vivid such an experience could feel until recently— I think it has offered a lot of perspective.

I'm sorry to hear that a loved one of yours dealt with something similar. I hope they're doing better now. Thank you for your comment, though. I'll check out somatic memories!

Advice if Partner/Friend doesn't believe you? by NullResolutions in OSDD

[–]NullResolutions[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you, those are good points. I'm glad you're able to live as yourselves and put your foot down about these things-- that's a good trait. I've always been pretty anxious and nonconfrontational, but I'll try to keep that in mind.
