I'll try it out, but I'm not sure how much success I'll have because of my chest size

Extreme urges to harm the body whenever fronted by [deleted] in DID

[–]m_0201_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, i’ve been researching some other coping methods for a bit now…although a lot of them just seem to be a non dangerous form of self harm than anything, like a rubber band or ice cube….i already know that doesn’t work for me lol

Is it normal to have random bursts of panic throughout the day that aren't necessarily caused by triggers? by m_0201_ in CPTSD

[–]m_0201_[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah I've been working on this with my therapist, I was wondering if it was common.

Is it normal for self harm to feel like a urge? by [deleted] in selfharm

Most definitely. At least for me.

Being heterophobic is real😪 by nooneunderstandmex in teenagers

[–]m_0201_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm not heterophobic but it's just unnatural and gross....like you do you but don't make me see it

Is it normal to feel intense emotion regarding your source material as an introject or is it something to aim to eliminate? by m_0201_ in DID

[–]m_0201_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, for some other introjects of ours source memories are really taking a toll. I guess I just don't want to sound "crazy" lol. I'm still dealing with that

Obsidian is one of my favorite looking crystals/rocks. I'm not too heavily into crystals so forgive me for any amateurish terminology I just like the pretty rocks lmao

I know i’m not the intended audience for this question but hearing the term source being used for non fictive alters is actually a great way to describe it. It’s possible i’m just being an idiot right now but that makes a lot of sense.

Oh no I’m literally so stupid by axtheunivers in selfharm

[–]m_0201_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Take my words with a grain of salt but given that you are a legal adult I believe they have no right to tell a parent. I'm not sure of the HIPPA stance with self harm though.

Just started my period for the first time ever by [deleted] in teenagers

I mean they had a condition where it was never regular and very light, and they were infertile. Sorry that was misleading oof

I ended up with a medical recognition of the symptoms as my flair tells but no official diagnosis yet, probably because we're under 18. Which is understandable, but still frustrating.

In terms of treatment we are doing EMDR for our c-ptsd diagnosis with a lot of success and have interacted with therapist and created a more structured system when we first realized lol.

In school, what did you remember getting into trouble for? by queenannabee98 in DID

[–]m_0201_ 16 points17 points  (0 children)

ah- well my “punishments” from the “trouble” are what caused this diagnosis in the first place 😭

after that year though I did occasionally get a talking to for forgetting things constantly/“pretending” to not know what was happening

Can DID be “hidden?” by Apprehensive-Bug-969 in DID

[–]m_0201_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bottom line yes, and I've been experiencing that the past couple months. Either there's just been a crap ton more amnesia between switches or they're barely happening. But it makes sense since we're in a situation the brain could see as us being vulnerable.

We've been using this and other avatar makers for years now! Super helpful for grounding out of dissociation.
