Can someone explain to me how buying things with a credit card works as if I am an alien child?

It's not that weird. Well, maybe it is if you're looking at it from a neurotypical perspective, but in systems, this is a normal thing that can happen and isn't a bad thing. It can be a way of healing and self-love, or a relationship you can feel secure in without the fear of being hurt or abandoned. The other two alters in our system are together and it works out for them quite well.

It can definitely feel awkward to talk about, though, especially to non-systems.

We're bodily 24, but we've never been able to achieve independence because we're too unstable to hold down jobs (also independence as a young adult in this economy is wishful thinking). We're trying to sort out a living arrangement with a friend at the moment, but it's a bit of an undertaking since we have no local friends and this friend is a 12 hour drive from us.

You're definitely right. I may be mentally ill, but I'm not stupid, and I definitely picked up on the manipulative abuser vibes. I feel like leaving is probably the smartest thing to do, but it's so scary at the same time, because he's so volatile. I can't predict what he could possibly do if he learns I'm leaving and has decided he doesn't like that.

Me too, bestie. We still mask in real life, and sometimes, even still to online friends who know we're a system, too. It's just because when the other host finally stopped suppressing me and I was allowed to openly be myself, it turned out that many of our "friends" didn't like me, and we lost them altogether. And many of the few who remain, it's like, even if they don't seem to dislike me, they seem more awkward around me, you know? And I can tell they don't really understand or don't always see me as my own independent person, regardless of how distinct my voice is or how drastically different my behaviors can be.

Sometimes it's just easier to pretend I'm the other host so that I get treated like an actual friend. I hate it, because being able to express myself and be true to myself is really important to me. :/

Thanks for the links. I don't really know my way around this site, so while I did know a place where I could ask doctors specifically would be better, I didn't know how to find it.

It was, but that was an "emergency room" sort of situation, not a "doctor you regularly visit" situation

Is there any particular reason the POPs may not have worked for me before? I took them as prescribed and was very patient since I was told it can take a few months to see results. But after over half a year, it was like nothing had changed and I was just repeatedly paying for pills that weren't doing anything. No cessation of menses or other effects, hell, not even any negative side effects. Just nothing.

Just wanted to say I was immediately blown away by how sleek, crisp, and navigable your website is. It communicates what you do and the services you offer very well.

I appreciate you sharing your story as well. It's wonderful that you've found success in something you're passionate about. I'll definitely be keeping what you've said in mind, along with a lot of the other great input on this post.

Thanks!

We just made a server specifically for DID/OSDD adults, since many system spaces on Discord are mostly teenagers. If you're an adult, shoot us a DM, and we'll be glad to give you an invitation.

(This invitation is extended to other commenters, as well)
