Pushing and pushing can lead someone to destabilization if they dont have the coping tools beyond denial to help them cope. This denial usually doesnt follow logic anyways because of its nature. Its better to help the person become comfortable or able to cope with the uncertainty than to try to push

Making OC and roleplaying and getting lost in imagination and fantasy again lol. Young peoples identity is already at such a changing and fluid state. Idk its such a friggin complex issue tbh idk if theres any real perfect way to handle it :/ bc fakeclaiming is no good but like. Ugh. Lol.

With the term and thats how it should be! But then we end up with a term that has a very open definition, so even if the people within dont have much experientially in common, they might share the label. And then that leads to internal conflict or at least the possibility of it. Idk. Normalize
November 11, 2025 at 2:51 AM
Yeah like. It gets to a point. Im not gonna say you arent plural, idk your experience, but i can see enough that it is so far removed from my own experience of multiplicity, that like yeah, lets normalize having just OCs again please lol. Plurality means something unique to everyone who identifies

For more info i would look into FND and dissociative seizures are associated with that.

Specific alters, but the tics are happening to the body/whole system even if only certain alters tend to experience them to greater degrees than others (its not rigid and i dont have tourrettes, im pretty sure theyre functional tics but i just have a persistent tic disorder dxed).
October 26, 2025 at 10:48 PM
Hmm well im not a dr, like functional seizures are psychogenic but its from the connection between the brain and body going haywire, the brains signals not going out right, so thats iwhy i say its a body thing. Like psychogenically its the brain, which is the body. But like i get tics aligned w

You reconcile the fact that you have alters when thats how theyre being portrayed? Again im speaking specifically about endo systems who do NOT identify with having a dissociative system. Im not saying your system isnt real, im saying i disagree w your using terminology specific to DID/OSDD (alters)
October 26, 2025 at 7:04 PM
For those newly diagnosed, who go on to see so many people talking about "ill create a new alter for every note!" "I got three new alters bc i was obsessing over this show!" It is just so disconnected from the experience of splitting alters in DID/OSDD, thus will fuel denial and confusion, bc how do
October 26, 2025 at 7:04 PM
A specific degree of elaboration/autonomy. Language is so so important for abuse survivors to give language to describe their experiences and ground them in reality. When these terms are misused and appropriated outside of a DID/OSDD context, the language and meaning is lost. And it becomes confusin

Developmental trauma experiences. I just find it disrespectful and akin to people saying "oh im so OCD" when theyre actually just a bit particual about orderliness. Alters is a loaded term that even many dissociative systems themselves may choose to avoid bc of its rightful associations w trauma and
October 26, 2025 at 7:04 PM
Often have parts who experientially are described much more similarly to those kinds of experiences than to the experiences of alters in a dissociative system. Like im not even saying endo systems arent real, its about preserving the meaning of these terms as they relate specifically to serious
October 26, 2025 at 7:04 PM
Or headmates or internal friends or literally just anything besides alters i beg. It reinforces the doubt among medical professionals who are already skeptical about did/osdd or just think its ego states, alter egos, bc many endo systems who specifically identify as not having a dissociative system
October 26, 2025 at 7:04 PM
Thats just what ive heard tho! Obv i dont know if thats true or based in reality or just a theory thing but its something.
October 26, 2025 at 6:43 PM
Not absence of evidence. Like ive seen some bring up how like, yknow not everyone who goes thru extreme childhood trauma develops DID, there has to be a predisposition to dissociation. So some say some ppl just have a super high natural predisposition to dissociation so develop a sys wo trauma
October 26, 2025 at 6:43 PM
Some of it i think is ppl dealing w natural multiplicity seen in IFS, and/or their experiences are more similar to ego states/alter egos. Or people in denial of their trauma/how its impacted them. Theres no scientific grounds for alters to develop outside of DID/OSDD. Tho the absence of evidence is
October 26, 2025 at 6:43 PM
It literally is so exhausting bc ppl just use the same points over and over wo actually engaging w your argument/you as an individual.
October 26, 2025 at 6:36 PM
Thats a body thing. Possibly it could be limited to like, only certain alters are prone to experiencing them? But its happening to the body/whole system.
