..I have no way to know. I HAVE to accept that it could have or could not have happened. That’s the “disorder” part of DID. and I wish more people had nuance when it comes to medical distinctions. I work in the medical field and it annoys the piss out of me.

..But the REASON that I’m considered unreliable is because I have DID! Of course I can’t report trauma if I don’t remember it!! I was absolutely abused, but idk if it was sexual. Does that mean it didn’t happen? Fucking shrug?? But I am not considered a person with sexual abuse because…

I feel this. And times when it happens during non-stressful days, it’s like, okay, thank you for the protection, but why??????

…questions that he had and basically quelled all of his anxiety. He said he was frustrated we hadn’t told him sooner, but understands why we hid it for so long. I have many more thoughts, but it feels good.

If it makes you feel better, every time we’ve started therapy back up, we’ve always, always felt worse before we started to feel better. That whole thing about admitting/identifying the problem being the first step is very true. I hope you keep going 💕

…we are a bag of marbles. The bag is our body, and our parts are the marbles. Therapy for us is dumping the marbles out and seeing who wants to talk, and there never has been one main marble. I think it’s interesting how everyone is set up differently.

When I was a kid and before I had the vocab, I had “balloon head days” because I felt like I was always floating one step behind what my body was doing. I think it’s super interesting to be able to look back and finally explain the weird things lol

..made me feel so terrible about myself when I was still a young child. Without going into detail about my own alter parts, just the crass, classless nature of this putrid human shakeweight kinda makes me angry for that person I was back then. The audacity of this bitch. 💅

I’ve been on SSRIs since about 2006, and meds were stigmatized so badly that I had super anxiety about it for years until I found out it’s “normal” to have depression in some way. It pisses me off to no end that these are the “leaders” we’re supposed to look up to when it’s shit like this that…

First off, no it isn’t. Stopping SSRIs cold turkey sucks a lot and comes with withdrawals, but stopping hard drugs suddenly is absolutely not the same. It’s insulting to both parties and imo downplays the seriousness of addiction while also demonizing people with mental health issues.

Ground News is a very good resource. They have an lgbtqia+ tab you can add to a custom feed.
