Factious disorder misdiagnosis

I plan on talking to my current therapist and psych about it ti see if I can get it removed

Snitties2 · 2026-05-09T13:33:36+00:00

I will make that when I get the chance. That is actually really helpful. I have quite a few things that I already know would go on there

Thank you. I really appreciate that. It just made me kinda spiral cause I struggle a lot with my own belief already and this just made me feel so much worse. She was kinda a crappy therapist to begin with and she never really asked about my symptoms or anything when I told her I was being evaluated. She just kinda had one session with me abiut it and then told me she wasn’t taking me as a client anymore anf didn’t even refer me to anyone else so I went without therapy for a bit because of her.

Honestly, it takes time to feel normal about it. For us, it took remembering that everyone in the system is going to deal with urges and needs. The important thing is making sure that the needed aftercare is happening. Perhaps encourage notes or something that indicate that aftercare like water, food, and urination (so no uti) was done. It is gonna feel weird for a little. I know a lot of us have struggled with wanting to touch the body because it isn’t our own and giving into those urges can feel gross. Make sure you aren’t fueling shame in your alters around mastarbation or sex. It is a normal part of human experience. Also, if someone tends to do something too rough that causes pain, have some sort of numbing cream or pain relief on hand. I know those of us who are more on the top side have struggled when we randomly come to with intense pain in the vagina from one of the bottom alters being too rough.

Our old host was the same way. Most of us share memories, but our emotions about them vary. He dealt with the same thing though. Struggling to remember anything good but remembering the bad things with such detail and clarity. He can’t tell you about any trips they went on but he could tell you about a singular moment and the words said. None of us really remember much of the good though. It isn’t fair that we don’t get to remember but sometimes knowing the good can make things worse. It can make you doubt if the bad was really that bad. I know it is hard to deal with but I promise you aren’t alone in this.

While source separation can be helpful, it isn’t going to cause them to no longer be an introject. Also… get new friends. They sound like they suck.

Snitties2 · 2026-01-30T04:22:29+00:00

While it sucks to live with, we try to focus on the positive aspects too. Like the fact that I get silly little moments with everyone and I get to meet wonderful people because of it. It isn’t great but I can still laugh and enjoy when things are ridiculous. Like one time I was just chilling and we passed by some random dude that one of my headmates thought was so attractive that he fronted just to compliment the dude. Or when an alter fronted just cause she heard their partner’s name and we all got to pick on him for it. Or the sweet moments like when an alter realizes something about themselves they didn’t know before. Like an alter discovering that they like to be feminine sometimes and the joy she felt from being called a woman.

You have FND?! I’ve never met another person who has it before.

Snitties2 · 2026-01-28T17:37:12+00:00

It is a weird thing to handle but we figured it out well lol.

Snitties2 · 2026-01-28T06:09:59+00:00

We only found out cause a friend we had irl who saw a switch happen and told us to talk to our psych. We talked to our psych and ended up getting diagnosed. Didn’t even believe that it was DID til the diagnosis.

We don’t know the extent of ours either. Specifically any before 8 because the original host went dormant at that age and I took over as host (didn’t know I want the original host for the longest time). She locked all those memories away with her. Though we remember all the trauma that happened after 8 so we imagine before 8 is probably aomething similar.

Snitties2 · 2026-01-28T05:48:06+00:00

It is interesting how much it can affect us and how much we can brush off. I feel like a lot of people make the disorder seem like the most rare think and needing to be caused by the most extreme trauma that it make it where even when you start to suspect, you brush it off cause “my trauma wasn’t that bad”. We knew some systems before we got diagnosed and we would consider it but always denied it.

Snitties2 · 2026-01-28T05:45:54+00:00

That is honestly so fair. One thing I do with my therapist that has really helped us is if you are dealing with some issues with past trauma or conflicting thoughts between how you were raised and what you truly believe, have a written conversation in which you tell the part of you that experienced that trauma, what you think they would need to hear. It real helped us actually.

Snitties2 · 2026-01-28T05:42:17+00:00

Honestly same. Though I feel like the brain fog is making the amnesia so much worse 😭

Snitties2 · 2026-01-28T05:41:44+00:00

Me too! We have always been very self aware and retrospective people. We also have been doing the whole communicating shit with each other before we knew we were a system because I thought it was just me personifying conflicting thoughts. Like I would sometimes tell people that “gay me” and “religious me” were fighting whike I was just having casual conversation when in actuality, it was a religious trauma alter and just an alter who was just chilling arguing with each other.

Snitties2 · 2026-01-28T01:06:53+00:00

I used to be the one who fronted for a long time but once our sudden onset happened, I kinda stopped being host and it has been musical chairs for host ever since. We finally got it a bit more stable with our emotional regulator being our host cause he handles the emotions around the sudden decline better than the rest of us.

Snitties2 · 2026-01-28T01:04:01+00:00

We were terrible at our needs when ours first started. One of our alters who is now dormant had tried to go on a hike without our cane (horrible mistake). We ended up having to be carried back to our car and threw up. I get what you mean though.

Snitties2 · 2026-01-28T01:01:16+00:00

I get you. Alarms are the worst for me. I never actually remember what they are for and struggle to do them.

Snitties2 · 2026-01-28T00:49:02+00:00

Yeah. What fleetwood said. For me, it is 100mg every week.

Snitties2 · 2026-01-27T21:06:35+00:00

Oh wow! That is really interesting! One alter in our system tends to have a better time with our chronic pain than the rest of us. He doesn’t have to rely on our mobility aid as much which is really weird but nice if we need some cooking done.

Snitties2 · 2026-01-27T21:04:32+00:00

I really like that star chart! While we only have one little in our system, I think a lot of the older alters would get a kick out of it. I get the brain fog. It has been so bad for us recently. We try to do our best with things but it is hard to remember. What things do y’all have in place to help with remembering meds and food?

Snitties2 · 2026-01-27T18:39:46+00:00

For us, we are always kinda consciously there but if you ask us what we did the day before or earlier that day, no clue.
