One thing I don't see talked about in the media is how comorbid disorders work with each other. Because they can both make each other worse and better.

We have comorbid BPD (borderline personality disorder) and PPD (paranoid personality disorder), and they very often "work together," so to speak. One starts going on about abandonment, the other backs it up by reminding us that we can never trust anybody, and how can we really know if people aren't doing something behind our back? (And yes, I am talking about them like they are toddler friends)

But just as much as they are working together in their usual destructive manner, they also, surprisingly, calm each other down.

BPD is mirroring other people's behaviors. If the behavior of another person is stable, then we are stable ourselves. If we genuinely see people loving us and communicating with us, being open about their emotions, solving arguments and problems in a healthy, calm, adult-like way, and handling our splits and episodes in a loving way (@the-soup-system), our BPD calms down and goes: "Hm. Maybe they won't abandon us, and maybe they do actually love us! Also, they're so stable, I don't have to walk on eggshells around them. So I'm stable!" And PPD, looking at BPD (metaphorical look), even if it starts going, "but we don't know if it's actually like that!" calms down with our BPD. If there is no reason for abandonment, and if we're stable in mood, then maybe there's no reason to suspect anything else. And vice versa. Both BPD and PPD respond well to other people being open, honest, calm, and loving. So if one has no reason to suspect or fear anything, the other one automatically wouldn't, too.

Some other disorders we have that are comorbid with each other, like OCD and a few others, also work with each other well. Oftentimes, we actually use OCD to calm our other disorders down because if OCD is calm, then others will also slowly calm down with it. The way we do it is by playing organizing games, which we downloaded specifically to calm ourselves down. Just OCD going off? Organizing games that would help it. For autism, those games are patterns. OCD and anxiety disorders are very much comorbid, so these games calm down our anxiety, too.

What I'm saying is, I think the second we started treating disorders like they are a bunch of toddlers who just need to be heard, we figured out who they metaphorically look up to and follow. Comorbid disorders are connected one way or another, and by calming one down, there is a good chance the other one will calm down, too. It's almost the same thing as looking at healthy coping mechanisms and needs for both disorders, but I kinda put it in a different perspective. Obviously, personality disorders or just disorders don't actually follow anybody, but they act like they do, and they affect who you are as a person. When you start working with them, what they need to be is heard and reassured. They have their own needs.

And now realize that I described them as different people who you need to take care of, but all of them are actually you, however many personalities you have. It's you who needs to be heard and reassured, it's you who has your needs.

I suppose the moral of this post is that you don't have to calm every disorder down individually, and their comorbidity might help you more than destroy you. And if you have trouble understanding how to deal with them and help them, imagine them as separate people, preferably toddlers or children, with a desire to be heard, reassured, and for their needs to be met.

listen guys. supporting your partner when they're going through something hard and being emotionally vulnerable with you is not necessarily emotional labor. emotional labor entails an inherent imbalance and lack of cooperation. its one thing if your partner is consistently relying on you to do this for them and shuts you out when you try to rely on them, but a lot of people in supposedly healthy relationships are claiming that they don't have to be there for their partners because that's emotional labor and I need them to know that they're the ones who are being toxic

back to self-analyzing what the fucks going on in my brainium

[lefluoritesys]

We recently discovered that those of us in the inner world who have kids can passed their roles down genetically like you would hair color and body shape.

Like I understand us having abilities in the inner world and passing them down, but never thought it'd be the same with roles.

Children of gatekeepers/managers are more often than not gatekeepers and managers themselves, or have minor roles related to that.

Disorder/emotion/symptom holders have kids with similar roles.

But what's even more interesting to me is that like... it also apparently goes the other way around, from child to parent. My daughter is an OCD holder, and a while ago, our inner world/brain decided I would no longer hold BPD but OCD instead (there were other factors that led to this, but still).

I am also convinced at this point that should something happen to me, my daughter is going to "inherit" the host role. Because even though she doesn't front a lot (it at all), she is way more equipped to take on the responsibilities of an external manager than most of our frequent fronters.

“borderline personality disorder”? nah… my personalities just bordering from kangel to ame

[borderline-culture-is]

BPD + questioning OSDD-1A culture is not knowing if it's just you having BPD or if you really are a system because there are so many overlapping traits

How have yall found BPD has manifested in the system? I know some people talk abt how some alters have different symptoms/displays from others, so I kinda wanted to see what ur experiences are.

Also I know splitting in DID and BPD are very different, but do you ever experience a mix of both types of splitting?

For us we have certain alters who hold certain symptoms of bpd. For example certain alters hold obsession, certain alters have a higher rate of bpd outbursts.

And certain alters completely don’t seem as if they have bpd. We commonly notice this pattern for all our disorders within the system.

For example with our autism some alters in our system are very easily overstimulated, and some alters are mute.

Some of our alters have very severe Mesophonia and some have a very high tolerance for it. So basically the severity of our disorders varies alter to alter.

I think an example of a mix of splitting would be an alter getting triggered and because of that another alter takes front. This alter can experience a bpd outburst due to the events before. So I guess that’s an example of a mix?

For the most part splitting and switching are a 60/40 mix. 60 percent of the time I’ll just have a bpd split and 40 percent of the time another alter will take front.

Fun fact!

I love to project being sys [forgot the word for it lol] onto characters

That's why I made OJ have OSDD-1A, Paper BPD, Balloon UDD, Knife OSDD-1B, Clover DID, Blueberry PDID, etc.

I love to do this so much I had to rant to a discord bot about it

I still agree with everyone I listed being sys btw

Alexithymia - literally means “without words for emotions.” People with alexithymia typically have trouble processing their emotions. For instance, they may not recognize when they are having an emotional response, or if they do, they may not be able to label or describe their emotions.

Anhedonia - An inability to experience pleasure from activities usually found enjoyable.
