seeing people my age talk about how scared they are of memory loss, which they only associate with old age, is so surreal to see as a 24 year old who has actively experienced memory loss for a long time now
there are causes for memory loss besides dementia and alzheimer’s, i hope y’all know that. dissociative disorders, trauma, brain injuries, thyroid problems, even just stress and lack of sleep can fuck up your ability to store, process, and access memory. and that’s just a few of the many causes i can think of off the top of my head right now.
please stop treating disabled people like some scary “other” that you might become only in the distant, decades-away future. we are your age, too. you may become one of us sooner than you know. stop acting like memory loss marks the end of a life, when so many of us have so much living left to do!

Plural Culture is having that guilty feeling that you're overwhelming your partner(s) and friend(s) because there's so much going on in your head and you just end up talking about it a lot.

ik we post funny stuff abt DID but its not all sunshines and rainbows
some headmates are TERRIFYING and are a danger to headmates , friends and the body
masking is exhausting and leaves us unable to function for days depending on heavily we mask
we forget incredibly important info and basic shit like hygeine and self care
being frontlocked can be terrifying depending on what happens / happened , not to mention exhausting
NOT TO MENTION
its a trauma disorder. we deal with the effects of our trauma constantly simply because we exist and its stressful and painful
this isnt even the half of it

imagine you’re on a road trip with the love of your life and your boyfriend like, insists you pick up this fucked up little hitchhiker who’s like 4 feet tall and looks like he’s literally about to die, then you hear the hitchhiker conspiring to KILL you and your boyfriend and steal your shit, so you tell your boyfriend and he’s like “oh no he’s harmless you’re lying” and basically this fucked up danny devito sized slimeball breaks up your relationship and your boyfriend leaves you on the side of the road!! that’s what happened to samwise gamgee.

a comic about my name
this is just the way I look at it to feel empowered/at peace with how I'm called different names by different people
obviously it's not the same for everyone but looking at it like this is just what made me happy

Shout out to system with “scary” alters.
Systems with alters who would cause you to go to jail if they were allowed to do what they want.
Systems with alters who are violent.
Systems with alters who are addicts.
Systems with alters who are abusive.
Systems with alters who purposely hurt the body.
I see you. I feel you. We can heal too

DO and DON'T about somebody with any kind of DID or OSDD
✅ask about pronound
✅ask if person want to make phisical contact
✅respect boundaries
✅wait if alter is rude or harmful for u. They will leave and another alter will get to front
✅be patient with littles and and animal-acting alters. It is hard and boring sometimes, but it happend
❌try to switch alter for somebody who you need
❌ask to switch
❌trigger person to see a flashback. It's painful
❌say that an alter is evil, even if another alter said that. Sometimes alters are really evil, but most of the time they just need some care
❌ask about trauma. If person wants, they will tell you about that.
❌try to be persons psycotherapist. It's not your job, and you can cause harm

boy it would be nice to be able to google something related to personality disorders, psychosis, intellectual disabilities, autism, DID/OSDD, etcetera without finding majority articles that are like “how to deal with a person with X” “how to cope with your child with X” “how to spot someone faking X” “can people with X be cured?”
