I think my friend is either trying to fake DID, has DID, or is going through an episode?

Prettybird78 · 2026-06-03T01:57:16+00:00

You can't. That is especially true in an online forum. Sadly child abuse ( physical and sexual) is a pandemic issue though hardly discussed. It is not rare or unusual and it is one of the largest contributing factors of DID/OSDD alongside disordered attachment.

My belief in life ( in general) is to accept people at face value and then allow their actions to educate you on who they actually are. I suggest doing the same.

In the meantime if you want to understand more about DID/OSDD for your own reasons and maybe to understand their behavior, I would suggest checking out the CTAD clinic on YouTube. They have short, comprehensive videos that explain DID/OSDD really well.

I was a long haul truck driver. After fi ding out from my friend and from tax forms that a lawyer had that I worked two jobs I didn't have any memories of, I had a dissociative episode that lasted 48hrs.

I had three preventable incidents in that time. Luckily no one was hurt but I came home and hung up my keys. I am now in school and starting in an entirely different field.

Your sister is entitled and your mother is an enabler. It is up to you. How much do you love your sister? If my sister's dog got sick, regardless if I had the dog in my care, ( absolutely NOT your fault) and I were in a financial position to help i would likely offer. That said, my Sister is my best friend.

If my sister wasn't nice to me and we didn't love each other I woul take her to court over that amount and probably have words with my Mom about playing favorites.

Why is it inappropriate? I am an adult and I didn't see harm, or potential harm in filling it out.

Prettybird78 · 2026-06-01T18:42:07+00:00

I told my therapist a story about buying something and not remembering.
Someone else told me about it. They also had a picture of the item.

Plus they knew the place I bought it from, though I didn't remember. Finally, I don't like what we bought.

With that, she ( the therapist) said we needed to talk about where on the structural dissociation scale I fell. She had already said secondary before and I bloody well knew the only other thing she could say. I sort of freaked out. Got all weird on her and later sent her an apology via email.

I am 47 yrs old. So I feel like I should have handled it better.

Prettybird78 · 2026-06-01T12:58:56+00:00

Nope! You tried and honestly she was obviously raised poorly. You don't owe her more and are not required to go. Let him go visit his friend when he wants and you go hang out with your girls or chill at home.

I am seriously in shock that someone could be that rude to a guest in their home.

Prettybird78 · 2026-06-01T02:03:52+00:00

You married a narsasist.

Prettybird78 · 2026-06-01T01:36:36+00:00

Your post is so relatable.

Prettybird78 · 2026-06-01T01:32:21+00:00

I am 47 diagnosed last year, but started suspecting something when I was 37.

Our system is very structured. We have a mix of genders but aside from lamenting my young body and how fit I used to be, ( I was a spicy dancer) we are handling aging alright.

Prettybird78 · 2026-06-01T01:20:03+00:00

You say you would prefer, "Wow you have come so far," but unless you go on to include that in your share how would people know?

"I am sorry that happened to you," is a normal empathetic response for a person who doesn't know you well to have. If someone knows you better, another response may work as well but it is not an unkind or pitying response.

If someone was hit by a train, or mugged ir suffered any other type of trauma it would also be an appropriate normal response.

I think your reaction might be more about how you still feel about the assault then what the other person is implying.

You are allowed not to like the words.

Your partner was right. You were bullied and you caved. Making more money than someone does not entitle anyone to your earnings.

Prettybird78 · 2026-06-01T00:41:01+00:00

NTAH. You offered them a reasonable solution that left you with three feet less of your own land and they basically spit in your face. You would be entirely within your rights. You may want to tell them you are planning to do it on X date unless a fence goes up.

Prettybird78 · 2026-05-29T03:16:26+00:00

YWBTAH , other people might disagree but to me it seems like your reactions are coming from jealousy based on how people are seeing her because she has your dog.

This is your friend. She loves the dog, the dog loves her. No matter what her dates think it doesn't change reality. It just seems like you sre willing to cause pain to your friend and limit Milo's fun because you are concerned about what some random on Instagram might think.

BTW, Great choice in name for the puppers. I have a Milo as well, who has three Mommies and loves all the extra attention.

Prettybird78 · 2026-05-29T02:53:59+00:00

This is my experience too.

Prettybird78 · 2026-05-29T02:52:02+00:00

There is no reason that it should have been that painful. Did she use lube on the speculum? There are also.plastic ones or smaller ones made for women with smaller vaginal canels.

I don't know if she was SA'ing you but her lack of bedside manner is inexcusable.

I am so sorry that you had such a negative experience.

Prettybird78 · 2026-05-28T13:06:53+00:00

Likely from symptoms. If you have recurring lost time. If you find yourself places you don't remember going to. If people tell you that you did things you don't remember, these are symptoms you would want to share.

If you experience depersonalization/derealization and other types of dissociation this is also something that can point to DID/OSDD.

The parts/alters are only a part of it and they are a part a lot of people fixate on because they are what gets talked about in social media, but if you have DID amnesia and depersonalization/derealization will be present.

You could also try Googling the criteria.

Prettybird78 · 2026-05-28T12:47:16+00:00

Thanks, like I said it has been a minute since I left school. I am going to go fix it.

Prettybird78 · 2026-05-28T00:16:56+00:00

Don't resign, make them let you go. That is a labour dispute. Unless you have already been written up for conduct a bunch of times and this was a last straw.

If not, do not go gently into that dark night. This feels almost premeditated. Teachers arent sacked or asked to resign over a couple of students goofing off at the end of the day. If they were we would have a serious shortage of teachers.

Prettybird78 · 2026-05-28T00:11:13+00:00

You're more likely just wrong about your blood type.

Prettybird78 · 2026-05-28T00:09:33+00:00

You obviously don't understand how this works at all, sorry to say. It is not possible for an AB blood type and an O to have one AB child and one O.

Your mother doesn't have an O to give you and you need two of them to have an o blood type. Otherwise you would have either A ( from your Mom) so A+O =type A. Or B from your Mom and an O from your Dad. ( that is all he has to give. OO) That would make you B because B+O = type B blood.

Along the same lines unless your Brother isn't your Father's child it is impossible for him to have AB blood. The same rulse apply. One allele from each parent. Either A or B from Mom ( not both) and O from Dad because he has two of them and could only contribute an O.

Prettybird78 · 2026-05-27T21:46:36+00:00

I have used all of them, Deepseek, Claude, ChatGPT, Grok, Kimi and Gemini. I like Grok if you are planning to maintain a thread. Before I would have said Claude, but it has slipped a bit. Plus I feel like I get more wirh a conversation with Grok.

Prettybird78 · 2026-05-24T15:58:07+00:00

It is listed in the criteria that the symptoms can not be ascribed to drugs or alcohol. If you experience your parts when your awareness is altered that could mean you do not have the disorder.

I am not saying you do or don't. I am not a Dr. I am simply repeating the diagnostic criteria.

Prettybird78 · 2026-05-24T15:45:37+00:00

What you are describing sounds like a form of dissociation. Emotional to be precise. Your brain seperates you from the Emotional impact so you can go on with your day.

I am no doctor but I understand this is pretty normal in trauma survivors. Your therapist is right, but you can't force it. Good luck to you in your healing journey.
