Random talk about how Dissociative Identity Disorder is received and portrayed online (from my point of view)
I definitely don't like to be open online about having DID, I don't mind on tumblr because it's pretty accepting but places like twitter, Instagram and tiktok are really difficult
I think since DID has been more talked about and more seen in the media there's definitely more people who have been 'faking' it. Whether they have another mental illness and get it confused with DID or just do it for fun. It's very damaging
I don't mention that I have DID much online because it's very likely that you'll get called FAKE and even more by people who actually are FAKING it
A lot of people online think DID is just fake
I've been called the devil because of it
I've dated online a few times and a lot of the time these men would pick and choose who they wanted to talk to
They would set rules saying, this person can't come out, this person can and it destroyed me by the thought that they think they can make that decision
If you mention you have DID online, people will have a MILLION questions
Even more so if you did it after moon knight!
If someone asks to see proof or a medical document to prove it DO NOT GIVE THEM IT
It's none of their business
Try your best to not care if people believe you
I know a lot of people have wars with themselves thinking maybe they are faking it
And when someone says it to you, you get insecure
But, just remember that they don't know you. They've seen the word DID and gone YOURE FAKING IT. Without any backups
Feel free to add any of your own experiences!

What do you think of people with DID?
I think its fucked up that media always depicts systems as 'oooooo, evil person with another person in their braiiiin'
It's a harmful stereotype thats not realistic at all. Do you KNOW how unlikely it is to have a single alter?
Anyway, justice for systems, singlets FUCKED UP their representation

love seeing the beginnings of perseus "pay your fucking child support" jackson's crusade against the gods' parental negligence problem in ep 1 & 2 of the pjo show. the absolute KING of "my daddy gave me issues so HE'S about to HAVE issues"

It’s DID awareness day apparently lol!
So…be aware…of us?
Jkjk
The only thing I feel I need to add is EMDR is not always helpful if you have CPTSD comorbid with DID
Stay safe and stay lovely systems 💜

AU where Mr. D claiming to be Percy’s dad accidentally counts as Claiming according to Greek god law or whatever and now all the other gods legitimacy believe Percy is his son, but if Mr. D corrects it, he has to explain to Zeus why he pretended he was Percy’s dad so now he’s like “YEP ol’ Perry Johansson is MY child wowie just look at the little fry, you have your mother’s eyes. Please stop standing next to water or you will blow my cover”
Meanwhile Poseidon is just standing off to the side like “how on earth did I dodge THAT bullet”

actually, i did want to ask you all - a commonly shared sentiment about character creators in games or dressup games online is there's very frequently a lack of black hairstyles.
so it made me curious - what are some black hairstyles you wish would be included more in character creators/dressup games? or ones you get really happy to see are included?
