Sure! The one I’m (currently) reading is Richard Kluft’s paper titled “Clinical Presentations of Multiple Personality Disorder” (if I’m recalling my timeline correctly, it came out when DID was called MPD hence the name/currently outdated term being used)

Here’s the PDF: https://www.traumatys.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Dissociation-DID-Kluft-1991.pdf

For simplified notes: https://www.nurseslearning.com/courses/nrp/NRP-1618/Section1/index.htm

(PDID gets described as “Puppeteering or Passive-Influence Dominated MPD” in this research paper)

Ahhh okay! Thank you so much! We will be reading this! ^^

PDID Culture is feeling extremely validated when you read research articles about DID/OSDD and, even in older literature, your experience as a PDID system gets described albeit under a different name (e.g., we’re reading a research paper from like 1991 and PDID gets described! A different name gets used, but it’s still PDID!)

Oooo cool! Would you mind sharing it with us? In the ask box or DMs, whichever is Preferable to you /nf

P-DID culture is spending a good two years figuring out what system type you fit, asking all the DID and OSDD-1b friends you have about how to figure it out, spending days stressed over roles, communication and "but why don't I have constant nightmares and panic attacks?", just to figure out you have an option you never got told about. And that's why I'm making many resources about it! /silly -👤❓

i dont think this is p-did culture cause it's the wrong format but

my partner: that [a bunch of stories I told abt myself] all feeds back into you having p-did

me: mmmmegh [crawls into my denial pit]

[pdid-culture-is]

p-did culture is not feeling like anyone identifiable ans being unable to tell if its bc its someone new or if its just passive influence

PDID culture is *points at previous anon submission (about the noisy/busy brain thing)* same hat!

In all seriousness, I experience something similar. Rather than noisy or busy, the brain feels “full” (like a glass full of water) but same hat similar experience!

p-did host culture is brain noise?? like when an alter is close by, my brain feels busy? noisy? but when they're gone, everything feels quiet

-🍩��

THIS!!! WE DON'T EVEN TALK USUALLY BUT THIS!!!! THEY WANT TO YAP BUT THEY DON'T SO THIS!!!!

[pdid-culture-is]

p-did culture is realizing amnesia isn't a part of p-DID. I thought that's what we had. Everything else lined up and this one thing threw it all off. Also, I (host) managed to leave front.

We've been looking into OSDD because of those. But thanks to the pdid community we would've have even considered DID in the first place. ♥️

I'm glad our community helped, even if it didn't end up being right <33 (/p for the heart)

[pdid-culture-is]

(Kinda vent) P-DID culture is I want to switch so so so so so so badly. Please. Please please please. Literally just once is all I'm asking

Someone please save me from this hellhole please I just want to have a classic textbook switch for ONCE I don't want to be co-con or change hosts I want someone else to take over. At this point I don't even care if I go unconscious during it. I can't take this anymore I'm trying so many switch guides and it hasn't worked

I just want to confirm this is real and also prove it IS possible to take a break when I truly need it because there have been so many times when I've BEGGED someone to drag me out of front and it never happens, at most heavy dissociation and co-con do.

Pdid culture is a lot of us pdid hosts complain about being frontstuck and having to live our lives constantly. But I just realized.. Imagine what it must be like for our headmates. Imagine being stuck in someone's head literally and you have little to no way of ever living your life as a person on your own with your own control over the body.... The most you get is co-con and passive influence.

[pdid-culture-is]

p-did culture is qeustioning even harder on low symptom/communication days after having a couple heavy symptom/communication days

.

[pdid-culture-is]

Pdid culture is having decent, good even, inner communication but it usually leads to headaches and feeling so mentally crowded!! Especially focusing on the conversations too hard!!! We already have ADHD so sometimes we have to really strain to understand each other because of messy brain and racing thoughts

.

[pdid-culture-is]

p-did culture is doing something difficult, and *knowing* that having a headmate in the background to help with emotional support will help and make you feel better, but then thinking "i've gone through most of my life alone, i can handle it myself".

and then *not* handling it by yourself.

.

[pdid-culture-is]

P-DID culture is getting worried when you're in front alone for too long because. Like. Are they gone???

Same for if I don't hear from someone for a while.

P-DID culture is vaguely hearing about it a few years ago and thinking (because of the name) that it was made up by the system faker community as an excuse to claim to have DID without needing a lot of the symptoms. This stigmatized it for me and led me to avoid it and it's topic for years. Also because I felt like it would make my system invalid because of what it's criteria is.

But after learning about it and relating to other P-DID experiences I can finally accept myself and my system because it is still a CDD and is just as real as any other disorder. I wish it was in the DSM5 though, as I am American.. But it feels good to have a label after not relating to DID or OSDD-1 for so long

.

[pdid-culture-is]

Not even sure if it's P-DID, but it fits, so we go with it-

Recently discovered/accepting P-DID culture is not relating to the people you're meant to, because it's just you out 99% of the time(you can't even leave), with the tiniest bit of influence once every couple of months -👤❓

[pdid-culture-is]

pdid culture is being the host of your system and being aroace and sex/romance repulsed, but since you're frontstuck you have to bear witness to your cohost's horrible flirting no matter what. And still not having the will to intervene. Please let me out of front why must i be present for this
