That feel when you’re the only moderator left on a site that hasn’t seen its owner in years.
That’s really wild! Because of the source, I have no idea it is true, but still a really interesting concept. I hope op is okay.
The odds of it being tiktok related mental illness instead of diagnosed are extremely high. But this is the internet and it’s more magical if you believe the wildly unbelievable.
Some of you have never dissociated and it shows
That’s not how these illnesses works.
My partner has DID, and I’ve done a ton of research into it as a result. This story sounds extremely plausible to me.
I’ve read multiple case studies where people with multiple personalities will get out of whatever situation was causing the disassociation, and over time some of the personalities will vanish / die off. There was also a very extreme case I read about where the fractured personalities managed to coalesce into a new whole, but it was a different personality than the original. Basically a fully formed identity that was suddenly living the life of someone they didn’t identify as, and whose memories they couldn’t really recall.
Even in my partner’s much less severe case of DID, the less prominent personalities will sometimes go dormant for months at a time. Haven’t had any of them disappear fully yet, but it’s at least theoretically possible from what I understand.
Sounds actually spot on for depersonalization disorder
https://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/health/conditionsandtreatments/dissociation-and-dissociative-disordersYes, but only sounds like. I’m working with these people, it’s not that “haha oops bodysnatcher haha” it’s a little bit more complicated than that and people are experiencing extreme distress.
I mean the whole “bodysnatcher” thing could just be a kinda defense mechanism of trying to laugh through it
Can’t really tell from a greentext
I’ve definitely rationalized my mental illnesses in a lot of different ways.
I’ve watched an interview with someone who has multiple personality disorder and it was really fascinating. She didn’t tell what happened, but she must have had a really fucked up childhood, her whole arms were covered in self harm cut marks.
My understanding is that as a defense mechanism the personality splits into two (or more) parts and one takes the suffering so the others can live an otherwise normal life. So anytime she was abused the same personality would be in charge, making sure that the other ones do not have to experience that trauma.
There is probably a lot of complicated science too.
Narrator: OP was in fact NOT ok
This is the setup of one of the characters in Doom Patrol
is this the one about the search and rescue dogs going on adventures right? Man I wish I could live in adventure bay.
I have no idea what you’re referring to. Doom Patrol is a DC superhero show
He was making a joke about Paw Patrol
Honestly I think the bf has a Point. The original personality seemingly choose to leave the world, so it isn’t stealing the body. It is like in the MMORPG when some people want to stop playing the game, they gift away all the stuff. That ain’t stealing.
Fucking MMORPG comparison is so funny
its called dissociative identity disorder and ppl in this thread be clueless
