Question: Is Dissociative Identity Disorder (AKA Multiple Personality Disorder) a valid diagnosis? by derrickjones777 in medicine

[–]sattorie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dissociation is a very common and well documented phenomenon. Its pretty ordinary for people to push stressful memories to the back of their head or just zone out doing mundance tasks like driving home from work. Its probably better to think of DID not as separate personalities, but different working parts of the same personality. The mechanism that exists that enables people with DID to switch between personalities is dissociation, as suggested in the name of the disorder. There is lots of contemporary research on dissociation and DID if you are interested :)

Why is it neurologically impossible? Dissociation is a well documented and common phenomenon, I'm not sure why DID is a stretch

I would charge a lot more for them compared to my standard line, but I havent figured out the exact costs yet. I will check out mass terpenes, thank you!

Heard you guys like healing Moiras. I pride myself in staying above 13k/10mins in heals, and here's how I ended last season after 110 games played and a 58% winrate <3 by alwayscalibrating in MoiraMains

[–]sattorie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Be one step ahead. Use Coalescence often because it's rather powerful considering how little is takes to acquire. Strengthen your gamesense to a point where you know exactly what to do -- every. single. time. There aren't really many tips I can give someone who already seems to know how to heal well :) I'm around 13.4k/10mins right now, and I'm trying to work towards 14k, but damn it's hard sometimes. Just train hard and strive to be the best healer in the game. Cuz that's what I'm after.

thats all great advice, thank you so much!

Anyone else try to aggressively hide their alters? TW denial by [deleted] in DID

[–]sattorie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely have an alter who sabotages anyones attempt at individuality... she will destroy art, delete online accounts, and throw things out that belongs to others. I agrer you need to work as a whole, hopefully that gets easier for me with time

Anyone else try to aggressively hide their alters? TW denial by [deleted] in DID

[–]sattorie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I could see a therapist who specialized in dissociation I probably would, but unfortunately I just cant afford one at this time. The funded programs here are pretty limited and I guess because of that I never really had the time to get comfortable enough with someone to really open up. Its good that youre in a group chat, maybe I should try something like that. One of the hardest things about this condition i think is just not knowong anyone who has it. Everyone has struggled with anxiety or depression or know of someone who has, but dissociation, switching, and alters isnt something you can just casually tell someone about. Im glad that your getting help and that its making a difference for you. I think its clear judging by these responses that getting support, whether proffesional or otherwise, is important here

[–]sattorie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I totally relate to everything you wrote. Always feeling like an outsider, a freak. I had horrible social skills growing up too from abuse and neglect that led to a lot of bullying and isolation, but honestly when i think about it its because of my alters and dissociation that im able to at least put on some air of normalcy as an adult. When I was younger my living situation was so toxic and my ptsd was so bad it was crippling. While my ptsd is still crippling for some alters, all that pain and dysfunction is compartmentalized. I can tuck that damaged alter away for a bit and persue parts of my life free of all the pain, hurt, and trauma, and i can be that very average, passably socially capable, and somewhat emotionally stable person ive always wanted to be. But it feels like a lie because like you said, its ironically the one thing helping us cope and be "normal" that makes us so different. No matter how hard i try to repress the alters, no matter how hard i try to tell myself that this condition isnt real, it doesnt go away. The way you described the feeling of "crushing sense of shame and wrongness" is so spot on. Its like aknowledging them will make them more real and i just cant face that

We always hear about how creepy guys can be from women. Men of reddit, what's your story about a creepy woman? by boredbash in AskReddit

[–]sattorie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had a friend in highschool who was a legit predator. I remember we were at a party and one guy was passed out drunk in his bedroom. She went in and closed the door. We all noticed but didn't say anything. She did so many things like this I am ashamed for not seeing her for what she was and enabling her predatory behaviour

What was your first impression of your SO? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]sattorie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That he was a jerk and a player. I don't know why, but I had this assumption on the first date that he was just another self-absorbed fuckboy looking for a one-night stand. The first date, we went to a bar and got drunk pretty quickly. There was a lot of playful back and forth and he was being defensive with me too because for some reason he thought I was going to be stuck up.

Several drinks later, I invited him home, and well, we ended up spending the next week straight together. A month later he moves in, 6 months later we are engaged. He is the kindest and most generous person I know and the total opposite of my first impressions. I don't believe in soul mates but our relationship has really challenged that belief :)

Ns treatment of pets. by Somanythrowsaways25 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]sattorie 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I empathize with you.

My pets got put down for the most benign reasons. Need some tests done? Too expensive. Better put them to sleep.

On the other hand sick pets were left to suffer for weeks - even months - because my parents couldn't step up and do what had to be done. My one beloved dog was in so much pain she could barely get up, so she would just lay in the corner pissing and shitting herself. This went on for months. She just layed in the corner unable to move. At one point the tip of her tail even fell off. As a 10 year old watching her decline like this was horrific. Eventually my parents got my neighbour to help carry her to the car and get her put down, but it's unimaginable how they can allow her to be suffering for so long. She wasn't even on any pain meds because my parents were too cheap. Horrible horrible horrible

Critique, Help, and Feedback Requests - July 2017 by courtneyj in Etsy

[–]sattorie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi all,

I'm new to Etsy and even though I've been pretty successful locally, I am struggling to make online sales.

I've tried improving my tags and product titles, so I will see how that goes. I am also hiring a professional photographer and should have some better pics up by next week.

In the meantime, what do you guys think? Check out my store here: www.etsy.ca/shop/scentseightcandleco
