boundaries?

we have all notifications turned off, please be patient with repliesDID/OSDD-related questions are welcome, and you are welcome to ask who's fronting any timedo not use our alters and their sonas as your own, or base your identity on themdo not vent to us. ask first if you're a friend

are you diagnosed with OSDD?

yes! we have been diagnosed with OSDD-1 and am actively in therapywe choose not to share our other diagnoses for privacywe aren't against self-diagnosis, however we do advise that system discovery is a very delicate process (as is everything related to parts work!), and we don't recommend jumping to "i'm a system/i have DID" unless you have ruled everything else out first

what's your opinion on non-disordered plurality?

we don't really associate ourselves with the plural community as we simply don't relate to their experiences. our system is a result of early childhood trauma that has changed the way our brain functions on a fundamental levelhonestly? we don't have the energy to care for "who is valid" arguments. what's the point of policing the happenings of someone else's brain because you can't relate to their experience?plurality is an incredibly under-researched topic, and denying someone's experiences because they don't follow a specific "criteria" is ridiculous

your website states you're jewish. are you a zionist?

no.
as jacob geller said, "as a jew, every meaningful piece of my religion points towards supporting a safe and free palestine."

why share your diagnosis online? isn't that risky?

we view the internet as a space for our system to express itself without having to pretend to be a cohesive whole, as well as use it as an opportunity to spread awareness and de-stigmatise dissociative disordershaving a space where we can be open about the nature of how our brain works without judgement has been extremely helpful for our recovery journey, however we don't advise people do this as you are putting yourself at risk!!we don't share every little detail about our system. not every alter will show themselves, and the more sensitive aspects of our system (alter roles, triggers etc.) are kept private for the safety of our system

"It is essential to remember that patients who imitate DID (or any other disorder) are deeply wounded and need the same compassion and good treatment accorded those with these actual diagnoses. Their core problem is typically identity confusion, but in a different way than patients with DID. Most of these patients have suffered serious emotional neglect as children and feel chronically ignored, unseen, and misunderstood. [...]"
