Especially when ~being plural~ / DiD is NOT a garden-variety illness, there's a reason that academics and professionals still debate whether it's even a real thing. It's not like going 'oh man I'm sad literally all the time, maybe I actually have depression, never really thought maybe it was an issue', it's something that comes from horrific, long-term abuse at a young age. Not 'daddy rolls his eyes at my pronouns', not 'I got a single spank one time', not 'a traumatic incident involving a bunny in Peru' BONNIE. It's like 'I was locked in a lightless closet with nothing but mouldy breadcrusts and raped daily for three years of my childhood' levels of trauma. It's also supposed to make your daily life really noticeably 'why don't I remember the last three hours' difficult.
Yeah Bonnie I'm sure your thirteen followers on twitter dot com have just all spontaneously decided they need you to diagnose that. I don't think there's thirteen fully medically recognized cases in the world, despite what every edgy teenager on tumblr and toyhou.se and the DissociaDID thread would have you believe.
So I've been in a relationship with someone who showed dissociative behaviours. She broke down sobbing whenever it happened, scared why she was missing time.
By the time we got her a diagnosis (I got her permission to share the diagnosis. "Disassociative disorder, not otherwise specified, potential evidence of DID" was what they wrote down) it was a strain on the relationship, we got past it, and I'll say four years later we're happy and I just ramble out the last hour of events if I notice the shift, but there's been no issues for just over two years and working on it lead to surprising progress in very little time, though Covid has insulated her from the things that normally caused the shift in behaviour and loss of time that marked the issue. It's a terrifying thing to have, you can tell just by living with someone with it, I suspect part of why there's so much debate on it existing is that it doesn't fit in a happy box to make it easy to study, and you'd never know if you had it most the time.
Then we see these troons polluting the data pool to feel special. How can we identify this illness with them doing this shit? How can we develop and test effective treatments? We can't. They just doom people to suffer. I'd love to see these troons break down not knowing what the last few hours of their life were. Finding themselves somewhere they weren't. Their clothes changed and their memories gone. They'd think something happened, like they were drugged and raped.
Like the instance I live with is functional in society and works and everything because we worked to get her help and to develop ways to enjoy life as best as possible, but two things I've never seen her do: change her name nor refer to her "alters" as anything in particular.
It's not a fucking bird in her head. It's a person who has very subtly different mannerisms which would be advantageous to getting through a certain type of abusive situation unharmed and a vacant tone of voice at most and missing massive chunks of time. I probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference if I didn't live with her for years and know to pay special attention. It's not the dramatic shift movies and LARPers play it up to be.
Lmao good luck reviving that "sex worker" career after turning into a hideously mutated acne-riddled T-monster. Nobody wants that shit except the thirstiest freaks.
Double check the forum you're on. We've documented enough freaks that it's gotta be someone's niche fetish.
I know it’s just a typo, but this is glorious random.txt material

You know, it almost works as a weird way to say "brain" like imagine a zombie movie where some crazy red neck yells "you ain't gonna 'ave muh 'ead meats you ugly fucks", like it works for that one.
I just had my first calzone in years an hour ago. Just checked her Twitter to see she was also eating a calzone an hour ago.
Maybe I've been her bird headmate all along
Imagine being a troon and learning your headmate is an evil k*w*farmer. That'd be unique.
Why isn't Bonnie helping her?
Bonnie has the Tranch to go home to.
