Syscourse is taken too seriously.

ok i will spell it out for you. people look at you like youre crazy if youre mentally ill in public too. hence its not a good fucking argument for 'youre not oppressed' please try thinking

How exactly. You don't know what I look like. Yes I am mentally ill but that does not show on the outside. Weird fucking ask anon. Get out of here

idk how to tell you this and im not even disagreeing but '[thing]phobia isnt real, if you mention [thing] to people irl theyll think youre crazy' is the complete opposite of a compelling argument. it kind of seems like youre just saying random shit

How am I saying random shit? Its true, u blurt out something like that irl in public you are gonna get JUDGED

No one talks about how shitty alters can be and it feels like system communities have such high expectations for pwDID when it comes to how happy and easy everything should be. Talking about the negatives of alters gets you treated like shit in a lot of spaces. Myself, my friends, and many others experience this in the communities. Even spaces that allow minors expect you to be so far in recovery or to have as little problems as possible. DID doesn’t just mask all the trauma or the issues that stem from it. Alters don’t get rid of that, they hold onto it. That’s the entire reason they exist. But having behaviours or experiences that are a result of your trauma gets you ostracized

Myself, my friends, and so many others experience this so much in these “communities” that pose as welcoming for pwDID. I have been banned from spaces because I don’t stop younger parts from using alcohol or drugs, because apparently addictions should just be on pause when a “child” is fronting. I’ve been banned for having a criminal record and being arrested as a child. I’ve watched how my friends get treated in system spaces when they talk about their parts destructive behaviours. Self harm, suicide attempts, triggers, sadness, anger, fear. I’ve seen how quick people are to judge or mock them for it. I’ve watched people talk shit about how they’re too “negative” or they’re “downers” for it. Expecting everyone with this disorder to be happy, positive, and okay 24/7 is so insane but normalized in this shit hole of a community. It’s like people forget that DID is a disorder. It’s not going to be pretty, fun, or happy for all- or most- people with it. It ruins relationships, it ruins jobs, it ruins your life. Many people with the disorder are violent, homicidal, or rude. It’s not demonizing the disorder to be that way or state that people can be that way, it’s just part of being someone who had an upbringing of fear, anger, sadness, and no way out. There’s so many common issues that come with it that aren’t even always caused by it alone like addictions, personality disorders, psychosis, and so much more shit. 

Every disorder tag and community mentions the negatives of their disorders, some are nothing but venting. Why does DID, the most complex DD, have to be the one that no one bothers to talk about the negatives? Why does that one have to be the one where people hate those who are struggling? Why do the people who had no escape from the trauma they experience(d) have to be positive all the time? It’s ridiculous, the DID community isn’t made for people struggling with DID. Unless your trauma made you fun, you’re not welcome there.

endos are not being discriminated against

hot take, but

"endophobic/endophobes" is called just having logical sense. you "endos" are not marginalised people. you go out into the real world and say that you support endogenics you will either be entirely ignored or get the weirdest looks possible. "endophobic" is not a real world problem.

- Vesper

hot take but if you're unwilling to treat endophobes/anti-endos as seriously as bigots against other marginalized peoples such as queerphobes and ableists, you are still being endophobic. Highkey

"source" trauma is not real. it did not happen to you and it is not comparable to real life experiences.

same with "source" memories in general. no you are not that character and no you do not have that characters memories.

diagnosis and misinformation

can we stop with the "oh if you get diagnosed this thing or that thing will happen to you"

a diagnosis of DID will not stop you from getting employment, a diagnosis of DID will not get you involuntarily admitted into a mental hospital. (the only way that will happen is if you are threading to seriously harm yourself for others.)

to put proof for those who still like to claim that a DID diagnosis will stop you from getting work: when applying for my job in healthcare I put my DID diagnosis on the form. I got that job

(I left because the hours sucked and it was casual)

my current job at Maccas I wrote on the application form that I had DID as well. and guess what, I still got hired.

I put my diagnosis of dissociative identity disorder out to my employers to make them aware that if I need a break due to it, they are more understanding and that way I can get the proper accommodations.

who is the witch of syscourse

[august-zip]

Maybe because you PUBLICLY bitched about it, took over my friend's vent, and said that your fake ass memories of hell are worse than DID.

Stop trying to play the victim, cry louder someone might actually give a shit about your bullshit.

What’s the use case of antagonizing me behind my back like- I don’t get it yall- you gossiping high schoolers-

[august-zip]

if your disorder doesn't disorder you then you don't have that disorder. it just goes against the whole point of a disorder.

syscourse fact

you cannot have unintentionally create your system through roleplaying as a kid. that is 1. misinformation, and 2. just childish bullshit. there is only one way a system forms in a child's mind, and that is repeated trauma.
