(Image ID:) a blue, green, and white graphic titled “Depersonalization versus Derealization: Exploring the differences in two dissociative symptoms” organized in two columns. The left hand column is titled “Depersonalization” with a stock icon of a head with a scribbled like for the brain. The right hand column is titled “Derealization” with a stock icon of a broken heart.

The statements in the “Depersonalization” column read: “I have trouble recognizing myself, including my reflection and aspects of my identity,” “I feel as though I don’t exist, like I’m invisible, or like someone besides me is controlling my body,” “I feel disconnected from thoughts, memories, and actions, and have a weak sense of identity,” and “I feel numb physically and emotionally when recalling my own past or painful events.”

The statements in the “Derealization” column read: “I have trouble recognizing my surroundings and environment,” “I feel as though the world around me doesn’t exist, including places and people I interact with daily,” “I feel disconnected from reality and struggle to determine what’s real and what isn’t,” and “I feel numb to the world around me, and daily life seems foggy, unreal, and fake.”

Below these columns is the word “sources:” with the following links:

[No, it's not the same as

"zoning out" or "lost in thought"]

Dissociative disorders aren't the same as normal dissociation.

our memory issues are getting worse. twice today I've been in class and realized I don't know what the fuck we're doing, or what we did yesterday. this is without a switch, every time it happens I know it's still me and has been me, my memory just cut out

it's damn scary. between our physical health worsening and, apparently, dissociative symptoms getting more severe, we're falling behind again in school

everything is weird right now, not in a great way

I feel like most mental health professionals don't talk enough about how fucking terrifying dissociative symptoms can be if you don't know what's happening. I spent years thinking I was going insane because nobody, including my therapist and psychiatrist, told me what my symptoms were. They would only either say it'll go back to normal eventually or this just was my new normal and nothing was wrong aside from how panicked I was about it. But jumping out of your body, having really intense emotions all of a sudden flatline into days or weeks of emptiness, feeling like youre living in a dream or simulation, blacking out for portions of a conversation, that's all horrifying if no one tells you why it's happening! And very hard to rationalize without concluding something is broken in your brain!

So if you're experiencing anything like this, I want to be here to tell you you're not crazy or broken. This is a maladapted version of a normal human response to extreme stress. If you have trauma, your brain is more likely to have extreme stress responses at inappropriate times because it's always on alert trying to protect you. This does not make you broken, it's literally what your brain is designed to do to survive. Some other animals can display similar responses to extreme stress. Be patient and it will pass and there are skills you can learn to cope with it and reduce how often it happens.

Friendly (or unfriendly if you're against this) reminder that this blog is supportive of ALL disorders. This blog does not think ANY disorder inherently makes someone a bad person, and is against any disorder being demonized. This blog wholeheartedly believes that a bad person having a disorder, yes, even if things that are also symptoms of their disorder are part of what caused harm, does not make the disorder a "bad" or "evil" disorder or excuse ableism and demonization directed towards the disorder.

Yes this includes personality disorders

Including npd and aspd

Yes this includes all psychotic disorders & disorders that cause psychotic symptoms

Yes this includes paraphilic disorders. All of them.

Yes this includes disorders that cause, or are even characterized by, attention seeking

Yes this includes disorders that directly have lying as a common symptom

Yes this includes dissociative disorders

Yes this includes any disorder with "gross" symptoms

Yes this includes physical disorders too

Yes this includes disorders that can cause loss of control of any kind- control of speech, control of body movement, etc.

Yes tis includes disorders that make someone "look scary"

This goes for literally any fucking disorder. There are not exceptions.

Some days, DID looks like constant spacing out and never seeming fully there. Missed bits of conversations and a memory that doesn’t seem like it wants to work.

Sometimes it looks like talking to myself, constant internal noise and heightened sensory sensitivity.

Some days DID looks like being emotional for seemingly no reason, crying, laughing, anger over something I don’t know, emotional bleed-through from other alters.

Other days it just looks like severe PTSD. Avoidance, spacing out, needing help to ground myself. Flashbacks that I honestly can’t remember the triggers of, or remember the full event of, but that I know are flashbacks.

And sometimes it just looks like nothing at all. I seem put-together and relatively normal. You’d never know I had a dissociative disorder.

The day-to-day severity of my symptoms do not determine what mental illness I have. I still have DID and I still struggle with it whether you can see it or not.

every day it gets harder to live. I get out of bed and don’t know what I’m doing, I don’t know who I am, I don’t know what I want or need. I simply do not exist.

Es: Mikoto's trial is coming up, I should do some research on dissociation.

Symptoms include confusion, headaches, inability to express emotions, separation from your own identity, feeling like your body isn't your own...

Es: (shuts book) That's enough reading for today.

#milgram #es milgram #mikoto kayano #I am not an expert on dissociation so if I got anything wrong feel free to correct me #but I feel like they have some symptoms #I find this a funny coincidence at least #they probably do this with quite a few mental illnesses. they are not well at all

I've discovered some tips that help me with my depression and dissociation that I thought I'd share. When I feel myself getting glued to the couch with a 1000 yard stare into YouTube video after YouTube video not actually processing anything, I try my best to turn to the Four C's:

Cook something: it doesn't have to be anything complicated or high-quality, but I've found that just the act of forcing myself to get up and make a grilled cheese or something helps break me out of that dissociation just a little

Clean something: even just quickly wiping down the stove or clearing the trash off my tiny nightstand helps me feel like I accomplished something, however small. It gives me a little self esteem boost to take care of my space just a bit and my brain will feel less cluttered and loud if my living space is less cluttered and loud.

Create something: if you don't have the skills or mental space to make complex art, set the bar low. try drawing simple little blob/stick figure cats or another cute animal you like. Like literally just draw circles and vague shapes and add cat ears and whiskers. Play around with it! It helps keep the momentum of creating art regularly without the pressure and making things is good for the human soul.

Cry it out: sometimes the crushing weight of existence is just too much for my fucked up spine right now and I just need to cry about it. Let all that emotion wash over you, well up into tears, and release it. Give yourself permission to cry. Be angry, be sad, grieve, make space for your emotions because you have a god-given right to feel them. Treat yourself like a loving parent would treat a distressed child. It's okay to be upset and cry. I'll hold you while you let it out. We can go get an ice cream about it and put on your favorite comfort show when you're done.

I hope this works for some of you as it's helped me. It's never easy to jump to one of these things when we're in that rut, but it's so worth it. Prevention is key. If you can do at just one of these things once a day, it helps prevent that cycle of depression and dissociation from setting in so solidly.

Begging people to stop the fucking misinformation about alters not presenting until young adulthood. As far as I've been able to tell, this came from an ANONYMOUS TIKTOK COMMENT of some random person claiming to be a counselor and people took it and ran with it so hard. I've seen multiple trauma/dissociative specialists and all of them have said it's incredibly common for alters to be developed and presenting in childhood. I've not found a single reliable source actually stating alters do not develop until adulthood, just people parroting this information with no sources

A lot of the people I see spreading this are the ones apparently dedicated to calling out misinformation about the disorder, but if you actually read up on it you'd know that alters usually DO emerge in childhood, age 5 and a half approximately is the average according to most studies I've found.

This also makes no sense considering what we know about how DID develops. Host states are alters - they are not any more real and not necessarily more developed than other identity states. It makes no sense that only the host state would be developed until adulthood, especially considering that alters have roles they formed to take, meaning they inherently had to be fronting during childhood in order to cope with and take on trauma.

You're not anti-misinformation if you listen to randos on tiktok over specialists in the field and actual studies. Read a fucking book.
