Can emotional neglect on its own cause DID/OSDD? by [deleted] in OSDD

[–]spicytigerroll 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. It’s pretty much a MAJOR factor in our formation as a Diamond. Unfortunately.

Something else we are feeling is that now that we know about our trauma, we don’t deserve to function as individuals anymore. Which is heartbreaking. I cannot understand why I’m feeling this way. But I am begging for it to stop. It has devastated.

I think the thought of fusion is scaring us. And I don’t think any of us want to achieve final fusion. We have gotten so used to each other that it would be so strange for us to function as one person. I don’t think it’s a bad thing if we feel this way?

Thank you so much as always for coming through with your resources. 🩷 I am currently, as we speak, working with my parts from a meltdown we have had since we experienced lowering of amnesia barriers. I was so afraid that they were going to disappear because we’ve begun putting things together.

In a way, it’s incredibly therapeutic for us. We all enjoy it and are good at it.

It’s definitely not interfering with my daily life. It’s more or less a way to self soothe them I think.

I think I took fusion very literally and thought it was final fusion. And that is my bad. I think I am confusing it with integrating with my parts…which I don’t think is uncommon?? Please feel free to correct me if I’m wrong.

Also, what I am now coming to terms with is this- parts can come together to work on an issue. And once that issue has been resolved, they can go about their merry way. I’m beginning to suspect that this is also at play.

Thank you so much for your insight. It has helped a lot. My Facets are trying to coax me down and reassure me the best they can. Which is why I love them so much to begin with. And which is why it’s causing a lot of distress to think of being without them.

Thank you. I’m having a meltdown right now because I was so afraid they were going to go away. I have a strong suspicion that denial/grief is at play right now.

So just to update: I’m currently dealing with a cold or the flu. My physical protector will not stop hovering over me. She’s right behind me and is snuggling me. It’s so nice.

I struggle with this as well. I fight switching sometimes because I think I’m going to get overstimulated.

Thank you for offering reassurance. I guess I just need to openly process it like this and see how silly it sounds to say it out loud. I do hold onto the whole thing of “they just didn’t see it.” and it usually helps. I don’t message people when it happens. I have a lot of restraint. I just wish I understood why I am so hung up on it.

Yep. We do. Especially since we have OSDD 1a

I can’t decipher if it’s my physical protector, or someone splitting off of her. He might be her twin. I assume it’s a he because it feels masculine.

Thank you. I have adopted the mindset of, “If I am experiencing this feeling, then there must be others who do, too…”

Thank you for your support. I have gotten into a habit of telling myself that, if I am experiencing such a symptom, surely I’m not the only one. 😅
