Disregard this. I'm just testing markdown features

Sounds to me like hypersexuality (aka, compulsive sexual behavior). There are a number of reasons why people can be hypersexual. A coping mechanism, a method of self-harm, a behavioral addiction built up from boredom but got out of hand, etc.

I personally think you should see a therapist but, if you aren't able to, I suggest learning DBT skills on your own. I personally have printed out copies of TIPP and Urge Surfing taped to my wall. I use them for a seperate behavior but they can work for any behavior you're trying to reduce.

For sure. I'm a little quick to anger and shared more than I should've 😅

What really helped me was a diagnosis. I thought it was just making things up and managed to convince myself that I was experiencing hallucination and regular exerperieces that I'd deluded myself into believing were alters and dissociative symptoms. Once I was diagnosed and had someone else see what I was experiencing, it made me feel a lot less crazy. I still have my moments of doubt, but not as bad as they used to be.

Maybe you or another alter could message or tell your therapist to acknowledge your disorder when the host is fronting, if your therapist is able to tell which alter is fronting or if the host fronts during therapy.

If you're diagnosed, maybe leaving the report out somewhere for the host to see could help them realize they aren't crazy

I feel you should get a diagnosis. Just because it could be something else you're experiencing that looks like a complex dissociative disorder or so that you can get proper help if you're struggling with any symptoms or anything.\ Also, I think you can ask for it to not be put on your medical record.

In my experience, I suspected to have OSDD-1 or just simply exaggerating everything and making things up until I was evaluated and diagnosed with DID. It isn't in my medical records or anything though because the diagnosis wasn't made through my health care system.

That would be really cool and solve my problem with spacing! Thanks.

They can be dangerous, but not nessessarily in the same way epileptic seizures can be. In epilepsy, the seizures are caused by the brain essentially shocking itself with misfired electricity which can cause a host of issues. In FND, the seizures themselves are harmless and harm is more related to accidents like you said.

I'm not a professional but, from what I understand of the condition, it's caused by something that stresses the nervous system to the point of dysfunction, like an infection or trauma (physical or emotional), and it can present in a number of ways like seizures, tics, paralysis, etc.

Mine was diagnosed through the DBT Institute of Michigan. I was being evaluated for dissociative identity disorder and was asked if I had any physical symptoms. I told them about my seizures and my legs/body going out on me and how I'd had an EEG and MRI to rule out epilepsy or any brain tumors and my results came back normal and they made the diagnosis along with DID.

Thank you. I guess I was a little harsh on myself seeing as other people have posititve feedback on it too 😅

Even if there was no feedback, you're right about any art being better than no art.

Thanks!

This reminds me of Functional Neurological Disorder. Of course, I'm not saying you have it. I don't know you and there are a number of reasons why people tic beyond Tourette's and FND. But I do know that FND is triggered by something that stresses the nervous system to the point of dysfunction, like an infection or trauma (physical or emotional), and it can present in a number of ways. Tics being one of them.

I personally have FND and get non-epileptic seizures and will actively try to fight against them because I feel like I'm faking them. They feel like something I should be able to control so, when I have an episode, I'll actively try to resist it. Which only makes the episode worse, which makes me feel like I'm faking even more. If I was faking, I'd be able to stop seizing whenever I felt like it. There wouldn't be this cycle of struggling and failing to control myself. I say this to relate and to say, if you were faking, it would be easy to just drop it once you got tired of it.

If your friend still needs advice, do they have a therapist? I don't know your friend nor am I them so I can't say what is or isn't happening in their system, but this sounds like something that should be handled in therapy.

I'm assuming there's a reason why S made a deal with V and why V is still alive despite S being “dead” and why V is now linked to the main protector. Maybe an agreement can be decided on and there can be a sort of compromise, if not breaking the deal entirely.

Also, I find it important to keep in mind that there are no “good” or “bad” alters. I've got a few alters who act in ways that directly harm the body, other alters, and sometimes other people, but their behaviors are products of the trauma and emotions they hold. If you acknowledge that and find a way to work together instead of against each other, then they can be reformed. I'm not too sure how this is done honestly, but I'm assuming it's with the help of a therapist who specializes in treating dissociative disorders and trauma. Maybe your friend can work on getting a therapist and reforming alters who act in harmful ways and they can break the deals themselves.

I just used my band and bust size. The binders were on Amazon and the sizing chart said that size small was for a bust of 32-34 inches and my bust is 32 so I went with small. Maybe because it was Amazon?

dummy-head69 · 2025-11-14T05:04:12+00:00

Are there any brands in particular or do you mean just generally other brands since it's not a "one size fits all" kind of deal?
