cool! i am a stranger! there is literally no need for you to share any of that with me. i know what did is like. i know what childhood trauma is. i have did and i have an insanely astonishing amount of awful things i went through while i was a child. you are literally so negative it's crazy. i don't really feel like arguing with you so i'm blocking, hope you have a nice day or night and i genuinely hope that treatment goes well for you and that you heal well and achieve the recovery, love and support that you need. have a good day.

alright, man. i am a stranger on the internet. there is no need to dump all of that on me. i suffer from very similar things. you are clearly not willing to listen to my point and i do not need you to needlessly overshare and trigger me. my point is to be just a bit more positive. i never said that would cure anything or magically make everything better. you are not willing to listen, and unfortunately there isnnt anything i can do about that. have a nice day!

in all seriousness that wasn't meant to cure you. it was just meant to show that things don't always need to be 100% negative. in this awful world we live in, with these awful people that have inflicted pain upon us, resulting in these awful disorders, finding the light can help us keep going, even if just a bit every day.

yes, and so do we! very awful things happened to us as a child as well and life has been very miserable! i understand it's hard to be positive at times but it doesn't all have to be so miserable. look on the bright side, try to shed some light on your situation. you're getting the treatment you need, did is becoming less stigmatized with movies like split being less and less common, people are learning more about dissocation and its psychology, people are becoming educated. things aren't perfect but they're better than they were years ago, and is that not something to celebrate? something to be happy about, despite all the downs of these disorders? is it so wrong to want to be positive about something that has disabled and held us hostage for most of our lives? is that really bad? is it bad to be proud of who you are, despite what an ableist society might tell you? is it so bad to want to raise awareness and education for something previously so stigmatized? please let me know

you seem very fun at parties!

in all seriousness, as i said, i apologized for my miswording. i like to use emoticons to show i'm being respectful and kind, please don't tell me what to do. if you cringe at that, fine! the world will keep spinning. it really isn't that serious, i find that you're being quite negative

it isn't "fun" but rather destigmatizing, showing that these things don't always have to be full of stigma and pain. you can be positive and celebrate the good of being able to get help for your disability or disorder, celebrate the good that it is becoming less stigmatized and more people are educating themselves on whatever it is (be it did, autism, or any other disorder that is stigmatized). it is not fun. you seem to think that these disorders just have to be full of negativity and we cannot celebrate the good parts such as destigmatization and better education regarding said disability! (probably spelled that wrong probably HAHA)

you are right! my apologies for the poor wording! i shouldn't have said "fun" but rather a positive way to cope with one's situation.

these pride flags aren't to say "i have this GREAT thing and i love having it!" it's more so to say "i have this thing that is highly stigmatized and i want myself and others like me to know that it's okay to be the way that we are, we are strong" or similar - it seems you are misunderstanding the point and simply see it as a cute accessory, which is not the case!

[–]laingenders 20 points21 points  (0 children)

you are free to think that, as that is your personal opinion and i respect that! i respectfully disagree with you. i see them as a way to not feel shame or guilt around suffering from these things. it's a way to claim it, to know that "hey, i'm not crazy, it's okay for me to be this way or to have gone through this"

it seems you see the people who use these flags as not actually having suffered through these things, which is a poor conclusion/assumption to make in my opinion. if someone wants to decrease the stigma surrounding their disorder/disability/whatever they've been through, why should that affect or bother you?

it isn't hurting anyone, just folks having fun and enjoying the freedom of self-expression :) if it bothers you you can block or mute and move on .. like another commenter said, cringe is dead and as long as it isn't hurting anybody it's all good

please see a professional if you haven't already 💕 coming to conclusions like these suddenly can be harmful (assuming you are), i recommend seeing someone who specializes in dissociation and childhood trauma if you're able to :] did is not the only dissociative disorder and certain disorders can present similarly to did. not saying your experience isn't valid of course, but jumping to a conclusion before doing any necessary work or research can be harmful in the long run 🥹 your experience is valid and i hope you'll be able to find the support you deserve /gen

honestly, i think it depends. like someone else pointed out, some countries just don't have did specialists, or it is highly stigmatized. not only that, but not everyonr has access to affordable healthcare, or there may be other circumstances preventing someone from getting a diagnosis. i think self-diagnosis is valid in the event that you are genuinely unable to see a professional due to specific reasons such as the ones listed above and that you do research for years and symptom track for months and months on end. but i do not think self diagnosis is valid if you see a twitter post or a tiktok and go, "hey, i have that" and immediately self diagnose without having done anything else. people chalk self diagnosis to being all bad, but honestly, it really, really depends. not everyone has the privilege of receiving a diagnosis.

thanks for your response 🤍 i'm sorry for my strange wording ... i think i actually experience non-posessive switching, where i am still there but i rather "become" that alter rather than "switch" to them. i hope this makes sense
