The Useless Internet Garbage that’s making me mad today is the concept that you don’t need trauma to be diagnosed with DID and how that sentence is SUPPOSED to be applied.
I’m DID diagnosed, and on my paperwork, I am considered an “unreliable historian” when it comes to sexual abuse.

Our adult part finally told our partner about our DID, and most of us wanted it to happen sooner. But it’s better late than never, and it seems like it’s actually brought us closer. Our partner has a degree in psychology, and said that our DID explained so many…

I am apparently the last part in my system to come to the realization that we need to make a very difficult life decision. And it really sucks.

Had a therapy appointment today where one of our smaller parts got to speak. It was SO hard getting to this point, and I actually do feel very proud of her. I used to think others feeling proud of their smalls was a bit silly, but I totally understand it now

Nothing is going wrong for me personally today, so why am I feeling ALL of the anger?? I wish the folks in my head would answer

One thing that made it hard for me to realize I’m plural is because my system is set up in a way that I don’t really see people talk about. Lots of other systems see themselves as a part in the front that is a host, and the other parts have split off. My system is organized like…

I’ve been trying really hard to work on the whole “hijacking” thing (in DID) and I’ve had two instances in the past week. Ugh. I know my other parts aren’t upset at me for it, but it’s dumb that anger is such a hairpin trigger ugh 🙄

My friend works with children, and she’s in a position where she has to report abuse if it happens. It’s really eye opening sometimes what’s considered abuse and what I learned to tolerate when I was a kid.

I draw my alters sometimes, and this was one I never finished. I started making little comics before I understood and while I was learning the cycle of abuse, and this is how my ex partner started getting me to do things for him before the guilt tripping came. Bless the parts that dealt with him.

I’m starting to be able to identify when I switch. Most of the time it’s more along the lines of “Oh shit, I’m here and doing life now” and realize I’ve switched retroactively. But today I just had one where I was aware IMMEDIATELY while it was happening and I feel like half melted slushy lmao

Okay so like, I really don’t get offended much anymore. I’ve basically heard it all at this point. But when I was watching RFK (the F stands for Fucker) getting grilled by congress and that he says stopping something like sertraline is the same as stopping heroin?

It was our third session with our new specialist today, and I can already tell the difference. Not that my last therapist was bad. I’m getting asked questions that have never been asked before, and a part that hardly ever comes out started to talk.

The only reasonable way I can see this being used is if the pharmacy is getting a refill of an Rx that already exists because it often times takes 2-5 business days to receive them. But if it’s generative AI that creates scripts instead of analyzing, that’s gonna be a capital Yikes from me.
What the fuck is this? AI qualifying as a prescriber?

Remember the end of The Lion King when the hyenas realize Scar lied to them to secure power so they eat him?
Thinking about that a lot for no particular reason.

I was so angry on the 20th after all the executive orders that I (or rather another emboldened part) texted my mom and grandma coming out to them about being NB and told them now the governments problems affect them directly. I’ve ID’d as NB for like 10 years, so I guess better late than never?

Got a handmade card from mom today. She does that. It’s nice that after so goddamn long and after all of the shit, we can still be semi-normal.

I recently transitioned from the "stabilization" phase to the "exploration" phase of my therapy after 2 years of being diagnosed. I got complimented for being knowledgable on certain topics, and it's because I research. A lot. If there was info about DID on the internet, I looked into it. And...

I am going through another angry spike at my workplace. I was moved from my original position unfairly and my boss apologized for the way she treated me, but that doesn’t mean my anger is just going to vanish.

Interesting that almost every time “I” think all of my parts enjoy a certain thing or have certain beliefs, there’s at least one part that’s like “um, no? That’s dangerous.”

I’m on chapter 4 of No bad Parts, and I’m actually kind of floored at just how much it’s helping me so far? The exercises are profound. My parts are learning about each other.

I had a really bad day today. Normally I’m able to cope with all the horrible things happening in the world, but one of my kid parts does not. She doesn’t understand why people do bad things. And I don’t have any reasons that can soothe her. The world is very awful, and it’s about to get a lot worse

Last session with my first trauma specialist before I start full time with my new trauma/IFS specialist. I’m so grateful that I am where I am now and that I’ve been treated with such compassion and dignity. I wish it were this easy for everybody. I know I got lucky.

I’m going on week 2 of a “new me” and I’m 100% sure that 2 or more parts have integrated. I’m experiencing a shift in my view on my own gender and sexuality that I think was being stifled before by some kind of fear?? I feel a new curiosity toward myself that I haven’t felt in over 10 years 💕
