A while ago i did the 6 character challenge but decided to be specific and went "give me 6 love interest of otome game with Black/white hair" and here how it went !

Not-so-friendly reminder that you cannot be a system without trauma.

Some more proof; done by me, a person living with DID.

This is not syscourse, this is fact.

According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Illness (DSM-5), a history of childhood abuse and neglect is prevalent in 90% of cases of dissociative identity disorder (DID). The remaining cases involve medical trauma, terrorism, and childhood prostitution. Ninety percent is overwhelming. Other research claims that rates of abuse and neglect in DID are actually much higher.

DID develops in response to severe, recurring trauma in childhood. Children are not fully equipped to cope with continued, severe instances of abuse, so they may develop dissociation as a survival skill, which can then develop into DID. It makes sense, then, that the rate of childhood abuse and neglect in people with DID is so high.

The authors interviewed 102 individuals with clinical diagnoses of multiple personality disorder at four centres using the Dissociative Disorders Interview Schedule. The patients reported high rates of childhood trauma: 90.2% had been sexually abused, 82.4% physically abused, and 95.1% subjected to one or both forms of child abuse. Over 50% of subjects reported initial physical and sexual abuse before age five. The average duration of both types of abuse was ten years, and numerous different perpetrators were identified. Subjects were equally likely to be physically abused by their mothers or fathers. Sexual abusers were more often male than female, but a substantial amount of sexual abuse was perpetrated by mothers, female relatives, and other females. Multiple personality disorder appears to be a response to chronic trauma originating during a vulnerable period in childhood.

Causes

The main cause of DID is believed to be severe and prolonged trauma experienced during childhood, including emotional, physical or sexual abuse.

The development of dissociative identity disorder is understood to be a result of several factors:

Recurrent episodes of severe physical, emotional or sexual abuse in childhood.

Absence of safe and nurturing resources to overwhelming abuse or trauma.

Ability to dissociate easily.

Development of a coping style that helped during distress and the use of splitting as a survival skill.

While abuse is frequently present, it cannot be assumed that family members were involved in the abuse.

Dissociative identity disorder (DID) is the result of repeated or long-term childhood trauma, most frequently child abuse or neglect, that is often combined with disorganized attachment or other attachment disturbances. DID cannot form after ages 6-9 because individuals older than these ages have an integrated self identity and history. Trauma later in life can lead to posttraumatic stress disorder or complex posttraumatic stress disorder, other dissociative disorders including other specified dissociative disorder, somatic symptom disorders, or possibly borderline personality disorder, but DID requires an unintegrated mind to form.

I never posted my Mystic monkee son in here even if I love him with all my heart

He's a dumbass without any power that crave attention. He's just good at starting fights and looking intimidating. He's trying to be chill now, tho.

Like someone wearing an "indigenous style" dress to their high school prom is in no fucking way comparable to the actual theft of our culture for profit.

I kind of hate personality tests like this but also? Very interesting....

Rabbi Yehuda Leib Ha-Levi Ashlag is known as בַּעַל הַסּוּלָם, Baal HaSulam i.e. "Owner of The Ladder" which refers to his magnum opus "HaSulam" and the “Talmud Eser Sefirot” kabbalah, a complete commentary on the Zohar that re-edits the works of 16th century Kabbalist Rabbi Isaac Luria. In this undertaking, Ashlag presents utmost attention and precision to clear, detailed interpretations of the sequence of the creation and the structural organization and processes occurring in the upper worlds (Olamot Elyonim). His teachings delve deeply into the Kabbalistic concept of the Ten Sephirot, the emanations through which divine energy manifests in the world, and provides profound explanations of each Sephirah and their interconnectedness, offering insights into the nature of God, creation, and the human soul. The work is divided into six volumes containing sixteen parts and over two thousand pages, and is perceived as the core of Kabbalah Mysticism that was followed by contemporary adherents who spread the teachings of the Kabbalah on a mass scale. Ashlag studied Kabbalah from the age of seven, hiding pages from the book Etz Chaim "The Tree of Life" by Rabbi Hayyim ben Joseph Vital, the foremost disciple of Rabbi Isaac Luria. His masterwork "HaSulam" (The Ladder) earned him the name “Baal HaSulam”. Ashlag experienced Kabbalah teachings as a means of profound personal transformation and his work captures the inner processes that a Kabbalist undergoes on the path of spiritual attainment and illumination toward a union with God by becoming a vessel for divine light. Baal HaSulam emphasized and advocated practical application for integration of Kabbalistic principles into ethical behavior, social justice, and interpersonal relationships. Ashlag saw that the evil inclination in people (human egoism) would rise to an altogether new height in humanity causing a new era of suffering felt as a meaningless confused existence. Tikkun Olam (Repair of the World) is central to Baal HaSulam's teachings, the idea that humanity has a responsibility to actively participate in the repair and elevation of the world by engaging in spiritual practices and acts of kindness, where disciplines focused on transforming human consciousness from a state of desiring to receive to desiring to give. Practicing individuals can thus contribute to the restoration of harmony, synergy and balance in the universe, shining sparks of a unifying glow of love across the world.

Happy Wednesday, folx! Today's Woo is Reiki to assist you in staying balanced and focused in shifting energies.

If you've been finding it hard to focus, plans changing, energies shifting, people not following through, you aren't alone. The planetary dance has been creating some serious monkey wrenches to drop into the works of most of us, lately.

This, too, shall pass. In the meantime, forgive others, and yourself in the moments where patience, is lost. Try to be in the moment, and flexible so you'll know when you can play and be distracted, and when you need to keep on track, for your highest good. Live, Love, Laugh, and embrace life wherever possible. Gus an ath thuras (Until next time), Lovelies Namasté
