Let's talk DID and dissociation

Let's talk DID and dissociation

Hello all

@Former-Member, @Bellarose75, @BraveOne, @Nyx, @Fluttershy1, @Maggie, @Grace20212, @NoOne, @MySunrise, @Unlonely1, @destructive, @Lemonjuice and we are sure there are others who have DID or dissociation disorders but we haven't interacted with them so feel free to add others we missed.

We noticed that there is a lot of threads popping up about DID and decided that maybe having a thread we can all chat on and ask questions and give advice to each other would be good.

We thought we would start off by explaing who we are.

We call ourselves the dragon system.

Host/main/core goes by our username due to guidelines but the rest of us are happy to say our names it also helps people know who's responding.

Here is a list of all of us that we as a working system is aware of.

So I'm going to split it up into 3 groups, littles (0-10), middles (11-17) and bigs (18+).

So my littles are :

Kelly, 4, mute and trauma holder, Eshy, main

Sarah, 6, main

Strudle, 5, wolf shapeshifter, main

Brandon

Bianca

Brittney, 7, the BBB triplets

Sienna, 8, prefers CC

Dana, 4, trauma holder, AP

Leana, 6, trauma holder, AP

Cameron, 8, trauma holder

Kelsey, 5, trauma holder

Uunala, 4, trauma holder, Eshy

Stacey, 10

Tessa, 9, FS Trauma holder

My middles are:

Steph, 15, sporty, gender fluid

Daisy, 13, Artistic

Macey, 12, smart, Eshy

Repunzel, 16/17, Fictive

Elsie, 17, littles helper

Erin, 15, trauma holder, Sh, main

Iris, 11, positive empath, littles caretaker, main

Chloe, 14, littles caretaker, clean freak (possibly ocd)

Mermaid Princess, 15/17, unknown language

Zayella, 15, sad/grief empath, inner world protector

Casey, 13, troublesome, sh

Evie, 15/16, fictive

My bigs are:

Sapphire,18, wolf shapeshifter, system protector, main

Harmony, 30, protector, main

Honey, 19, sexual

Grant, age Slider, 18-25,

Lana, 20, negative empath

Holly, age unknown, demon, system persecutor, is a main but currently locked away

Twilight, age unknown, dragon, gatekeeper

We know not all people with DID have an inner world but we do. Host created inner world as an escape when she was 9 and it has become a major part of our system. For anyone wondering twilights role as gatekeeper is literally that our inner world is surrounded by a brick wall and has a large gate outside that is a giant Forrest and twilight keeps the bad out. Holly came before twilight did so it's probably the only reason she made it in.

We also have C-PTSD, anxiety, depression, social anxiety, and panic disorder. Host is severe asthmatic as well which we suppose makes us all asthmatic.

Anyway hope you like the idea of this thread and we are happy to chat anytime but we do apologize if we don't always answer straight away

Thanks

Harmony/babydragon

Hi @destructive @Former-Member @MySunrise @Unlonely1 @Bellarose75 and everyone passing through,

I have been reading back through this discussion space, and have loved reading all the support you have been extending to each other 🙂 @Former-Member. so glad you made this space!

Just wanted to check in and see how you are all going?

Re: Let's talk DID and dissociation hi

Hi Forums Community,

I thought I might share a recent video that SANE has made on Dissociative Identity Disorder and belonging in the LGBTIQA+ community with one of Peer Ambassadors and Senior Peer Support Worker 🙂 I know these are issues or challenges some of you have discussed here before, so I thought it would be great to share this video with you all.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VXIKXMogbag

Living with dissociative identity disorder (DID), SANE Peer Ambassador Shazi didn't feel there was a place for her and the members of her system in the LGBTQIA+ community. Until she put her feelers out online and found the systemfluid or systemgender flag.

In this video, she chats with Senior Peer Support Worker Georgie about stigma and the power of acceptance.

“I was really excited because I’d found a space - a space that held me and all of my personalities. And that changed things for me." -Shazi

Does this video resonate with you? What's your experience been with navigating the LGBTQIA+ space (if that's something you have experienced)?

Hey @Daisydreamer - I don't know how to answer that question it's sort of hard for us

In response to: Re: Let's talk DID and dissociation hi

Re: Let's talk DID and dissociation hi

Completely understandable @Fluttershy1 100% okay if you don't want to answer it as well.

How are you doing today?

@Daisydreamer - not so good to be honest

Re: Let's talk DID and dissociation hi

Great Video, thanks for sharing.
To answer your question, I still struggle in navigating my System in the wider community let alone communities within communities.

Re: Let's talk DID and dissociation hi

@Daisydreamer thanks for sharing sorry it's taken me a little while to have enough brain space to watch it's been very painfully full in there.

To be honest I hadn't really though of this because I'm still so new I think I'm very disconnected from my 'parts'.. even still feel funny saying that.. but thinking of it I guess if I have a mixture of voices then maybe this could be a challenge when I learn more. I don't know which parts come out but know I have at least one male voice. I dont consider myself anything to be honest, sexuality wise that is, maybe asexual would be the closest. But because I'm not out with any of my mental health stuff I haven't even looked for a place to belong .. I guess here.. Shazi is brave for doing that and continuing to even when it didn't fit at first.

It was nice to see a physical person with DID too.

@Fluttershy1 hope you're doing a little better today

Hi guys sorry I've been on hiatus just really rough time will be around today though

Re: Let's talk DID and dissociation hi

@Daisydreamer , thanks for the tag. It's amazing to hear how we fit in the LGBTQ+community. We have what we lovingly call a rainbow family with children and senior family members that belong to the community. I had always wondered if I had a place there and it's refreshing to know we are accepted.
