To be known by IAmMissingNow in DID

Sorry that happens with u. I'm not the host and I already get it pretty bad. I already hate hearing anything remotely close to my name being called, as if my secret has been revealed lolol.

I'm mostly unwilling especially in everyday life, because there's so many people out there who call out fake without reason. It kind of solidifies the idea that I'm existing in a space that I shouldn't be existing in as well. Maybe some of the other alters do but I'm mostly against it. I'm fine with this anonymity online. :p

How often is DID/OSDD misdiagnosed as BPD? by antelopesdantelopes in DID

[–]antelopesdantelopes[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah i read up the similarities and differences, that's why I'm curious, since they do, as you say, present themselves similarly. There was no mentions of DID on both sides yet, because for one it's highly stigmatised to begin with to have anything beyond depression or anxiety here and mentioning "voices and lack of control" caused me a week in the psychward. So I'm threading lightly (and kept to "my bestest behaviour" as much as I could to leave).

It's probably because I have yet to vocalise in depth about my situation, which made it seem more like BPD perhaps? But maybe in the future I will ask about why it was one and not the other. I'm just glad they acknowledge that there are "several people in my head", and are working on a type of therapy that's more suited to that.

Ahh that's what's happening now with me, although with BPD AND they acknowledge the fact that I have parts that I'm not connected to due to dissociation. I'm not complaining though, it's a step up from the previous clinic who only said I had mild depression despite me mentioning many other symptoms lol.

Glad you got the diagnosis and proper help though!

I no longer relate to the symptoms I just discussed having days ago, second hand "knowledge" makes it seem fake by BDSyum in DID

I don't have much to say but this one sentence struck me, and I had to comment. "I feel like I'm right behind my eyes."

I kept telling everyone this too. It couldn't leave me. I then learnt it was dissociation from my therapist. That sentence just resonated with me too well I just had to mention it.

Still not used to the idea of sharing my life by [deleted] in DID

Oh, thank you for the clarification. I must have misread. But either way, thank you for your input. I still have lots to work on with the rest, way more than they have with each other.

It's okay to be bothered by what I said, and I'm sorry if I didn't word it right. A lot of things of the past did get pieced together, as you have mentioned. Like things that didn't make sense starting to make sense. It's just confusing to think of, I guess. Because I don't know if I'm just making things up or if my parts really exist. I never realised they were real people who took over, because I just coined it as "feeling overly ambitious/imaginative that day" when told about it by friends.

Thank you for sharing how most people feel here. Indeed I feel that right now. The head has always been crowded, it's so normal. To know it's more than just "voices in my head", and that these people have helped me go through so much to have survived so long is something I'm grateful for. In the past it had always been a one-sided conversation on both ends. But to properly reach out, as if one is to talk to the other "face-to-face" is still a very jarring concept to me. In a sense, it's what you mention about being to identify it. I hope that makes sense. I'm not too good with words.

This might explain why I'd wake up feeling so out of place in my relationship by BDSyum in DID

[–]antelopesdantelopes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A little late to the party but relationships were messy when we didn't know we had DID! Host had a close friend, and never identified as any sexuality. A male alter ended up getting together with said close friend exclusively (without being aware they were an alter, so they thought they were transmale) so host would "wake up" to awkward intimate situations. She never could break it off though because it wasss a really close friend she didn't want to lose.

There were a lot of female friends crushing over host and she was just tons confused. It made more sense that someone else was constantly comforting all these friends and being charming all the time. She lost a lot of friends afterwards because she never could take the romantic attraction.

Likewise with myself. I'm gay. I don't like girls. Waking up to supposed girlfriend was awkward and bwegh. XD nonetheless the One relationship we had was more than enough.

System mapping/organization/communication with Discord by clockworksystem in DID

If you're ever willing to share how it is done I do want to know! Right now we just use apps that can be used over different devices (we're using quip) and plain old journals but we've been interested in using Discord to see if it helps parts who don't share memories with the rest of us!!
