"Predominantly makes fun of ramcoa survivors" except the only criticism ive seen the ramcoa community make is that validity system is putting a bunch of letters before hc-did. Outside of that what part of that blog specifically makes fun of ramcoa?

Sounds like you're the one not understanding the situation to me

sysblr is so disconnected from CDDs atp I dont even consider validity-system satirizing the community "mocking a disorder"

[thescreamcorner]

I'm not back from my break but anti-lies , the bait blog posting unreality bs syscourse is talking about today, is sophieinwonderland btw for anyone who thinks it's just some rando being an idiot. This might be common knowledge but no one is saying it and imo Sophie deserves to be called out for this shit openly instead of just vague posting about a bait account. She's notorious for harassing people so block anti-lies and sophieinwonderland if you haven't already

Disappearing again, Rat out o7

[thescreamcorner]

I wish every "i dont tag my posts with unreality" a very get the fuck out of "mental health safe spaces" before i kick your teeth in

[thescreamcorner]

Some of you "radical validation" mfers are the types who wouldve bullied me in school for my at the time undiagnosed autistic traits and it shows

[thescreamcorner]

you assume I’m miserable when the truth is I’m thinking of all the thousands of people who are genuinely suffering who are going to struggle to get the help they deserve because morons like you are trying to game the system and make it more difficult.

you’re not unique. there are millions of people who fake illnesses of all kinds. you’re just like them. that’s all you are.

The real-world consequences of a large number of people pretending to have dissociative identity disorder (DID), like we’re seeing in this recent online trend, can be significant, both for individuals who genuinely suffer from the disorder and for society at large. These consequences include:

Stigma and Misunderstanding of DID

Skepticism toward real cases: Increased prevalence of people pretending to have DID can lead to skepticism among the general public, healthcare providers, and even family members of those with legitimate diagnoses. This can make it harder for individuals with DID to receive support or be taken seriously.

Media misrepresentation: Public attention on fake or exaggerated cases may perpetuate harmful stereotypes about DID, framing it as an attention-seeking behavior or entirely fictitious.

Erosion of Trust in Mental Health Diagnoses

Undermining clinical authority: If the perception grows that DID is easy to fake, it may erode trust in the ability of mental health professionals to accurately diagnose and treat complex disorders.

Distrust in self-reporting: Since DID diagnosis relies heavily on self-reported symptoms, widespread fabrication could undermine confidence in the self-reporting process for all mental health conditions.

Resource Allocation Challenges

Misuse of resources: Mental health services are already stretched thin. If people pretending to have DID seek therapy or participate in support systems meant for those with real disorders, it diverts resources away from those who genuinely need help.

Research setbacks: Falsified cases can contaminate clinical studies, distorting research data and hindering progress in understanding and treating DID.

Harm to Advocacy and Awareness Efforts

Delegitimizing advocacy: Advocacy organizations for DID and trauma-related disorders may face backlash if people perceive them as platforms for attention-seekers rather than legitimate support networks.

Reduced funding: Public and institutional support for DID-related research and resources may decline if the disorder is viewed as overdiagnosed or fabricated.

Ethical and Interpersonal Consequences

Exploitation of trauma narratives: Pretending to have DID often involves mimicking behaviors and experiences associated with severe trauma, trivializing the real pain and suffering of individuals with histories of abuse or trauma.

Interpersonal harm: People pretending to have DID may manipulate others, whether consciously or unconsciously, by leveraging the perceived vulnerability associated with the disorder to gain sympathy, attention, or social capital.

Online and Social Media Impact

Normalization of misinformation: Platforms like TikTok and YouTube have seen a surge in content creators claiming to have DID, often presenting the disorder inaccurately. This can spread misinformation and confuse viewers about what DID actually entails.

Fetishization and trivialization: Public displays of DID-like behavior can lead to its fetishization or reduction to entertainment, further disrespecting those living with the condition.

Legal and Institutional Consequences

Legal abuse: Individuals faking DID might exploit the diagnosis in legal contexts to evade accountability, creating precedent for suspicion and making it harder for genuine cases to be considered seriously.

Policy resistance: Policymakers may become less likely to prioritize funding or protections for trauma-related disorders if they are perceived as prone to exaggeration or fraud.

While the intent behind pretending to have DID may vary—from seeking attention to exploring identity—the consequences are overwhelmingly harmful.

They not only undermine the credibility and dignity of those with DID but also exacerbate societal misconceptions about mental illness.

Some of my drafts feel like if i posted them I'd be playing "death threats in askbox speedrun any%

Does anyone remember discussions about how older generations will say hitting your kids is fine because "my parents did it to me and i turned out fine"? About how those people who believe they weren't traumatized may be able to hold a job, but are far more likely to have poor social skills, not be able to connect to others, lash out more easily, etc?

Because i think back to that when i think of people who claim the experiences of CDDs under other terminology yet also claim to not have trauma, to not have a disorder. I wouldn't attribute it to all cases, or even the majority, with how much the internet is a place of performance. Misinformation spreads rapidly and behaviors and experiences better attributed to other disorders, spirituality, or that are even just "normal" are falsely associated with DID/"systems" specifically.

But early trauma impacts the development of the nervous system. It changes how your brain perceives and reacts to threats. And with social normalization of child neglect and abuse, it's easy to write off "trauma" as nonexistent, as not bad enough, to believe it didn't "really" affect you. It has physical impact regardless of how you look at it.

It's all the more reason i hate terms that muddy the water like "traumaendo", "mixed origins", etc. It relegates having a disorder stemmed from trauma interrupting development to being an "identity" or a "label" instead of a clinical diagnosis to describe a medical phenomenon. It relegates trauma to a perception or an event rather than a neurophysical reaction. It relegates the formation of alters to personal viewpoints instead of the result of neurological fight or flight responses being miswired in a differently developed brain. It centers individualism above objective reality.

DID and other CDDs are not identities and communities. They are clinical classifications of brain structure and functioning. And either you have one, or you don't. The conversation shouldn't need to be any more nuanced than that.

Ive seen especially regarding people i have had previous positive interactions with, accusations of people using alternate accounts to block evade and harass others. While there has been no accusation sent my way that I know of I want to take a moment to reassure those who dislike me or engage negatively with me.

I do not have time, energy, or nearly that much personal investment with the people I interact with here to do things like that, beyond looking at posts out of curiosity and discussing in closed spaces. I purposely do not publicly connect any of my social media together to have small, anonymous spaces for each type of engagement I do (art, syscourse, excessive vents, etc etc).

I will never use a second blog to participate in or attack others over syscourse. If in the future any blogger appears to be or claims to be me, this is not the truth.

Despite my anger and vitriol, I will not put that outside of my space here to target others, and I do not condone others doing the same for any reason. Not to others I disagree with, to those I even may hate or who seem to "deserve it".

Just a reminder that im pro self recognition for the sake of progressing toward medical care, but im not pro self diagnosis when it comes to complex/mental disorders

[thescreamcorner]

True DID culture is having to block 90% of system blogs you find, including ones you used to follow, because the blatant misinformation, encouragement of malingering and active promotion of delusional thinking makes you want to shove your head through a fucking wall and you lose all sense of tolerance and benefit of the doubt

I would like one fucking night where I can sleep like a normal person and not in 2-4 hours shifts full of nightmares. Just one right about now.

[thescreamcorner]

I really dont care if my stances are gonna have people claiming im "fakeclaiming and gatekeeping and not letting people just have fun" anymore. Having a disorder is not fun. I will be the biggest shittiest lump of coal in your stocking about it. I do not fucking care about placating people online just because they may happen to share an experience or a symptom or a condition. Im not gonna be your yes man about it.

Having DID fucking sucks and the "silly goofy moments" are far outweighed by the trauma, the flashbacks, the somatic pains, the ungodly amount of stupid triggers, the agoraphobia and the horrific nightmares I've been put through because of having it.

The reality of it is not what people online perpetuate it as and I'm not going to be quiet about it.

[thescreamcorner]

I will say this a million times but diagnosis is not always a privilege. People diagnosed with personality disorders have their therapy and treatments denied by insurance and many professionals refuse to work with them. I got my diagnosis while involuntarily admitted to the mental hospital. Going to the mental hospital, a place where patients typically get abused and neglected, is not a privilege. Being forced to pay an exuberant about of money that I don't have is not a privilege.

Diagnosis isn't always desired. Diagnosis is frequently forced onto patients who are being abused. Diagnosis can be dangerous for minorities or those with stigmatized mental health conditions. It can make seeking help more difficult because the amount of professionals they can see is severely limited.

Not every diagnosis is sought out by some middle class white kid who wants to feel more valid, some of us were abused to get our diagnosis.
