Does anyone know any?

There was a period of time where every post was either “Non extreme” Decora, kidcore/scene outfits or just regular cute-ish clothing that wasn’t even remotely decora, and if you mentioned it, you’d be hit with “Decora is supposed to be for EVERYONE! Even if you’re not wearing it!” I’m glad those people have either been driven out, educated themselves on the culture or just lost interest. That’s all I wanted to say!

Several months ago (I struggle with remembering amounts of time between things) I was diagnosed by my amazing therapist with CPTSD. Basically when I was 10 a pair of god-awful teachers in the “neurodivergent program” groomed me and used me to fulfill what I assume were weird emotionally sadistic fantasies. I was emotionally bewildered, denied water, physically restrained, and demonized among some other things. I know it sounds ridiculous, but the laws around how you’re allowed to treat “violent” children are absolutely nonexistent if you claim self-defense. It went on for about half a year. For a couple years after that I would occasionally “shift” and say regrettable things if I saw a kid my age being mistreated (even if it was something tiny that didn’t warrant and sorta response at all; I’m not claiming to be a savior) and, earlier this year, they became the new host (the one writing this post) and I identified myself as a fictive. That was around the time I was diagnosed with CPTSD. I dropped out of school with the permission of my parents so I’ve had more time to come to terms with my trauma. When I found this online community, I instantly resonated with the traumagenic label as a non-medical term to describe what I’m experiencing, but, as of right now, there’s been a few cases of switching and time loss actually impacting my relationships and mental state. Is it time to talk to my therapist about seriously having DID so I can find a specialist? My current therapist like I said before is amazing, but she’s not equipped to discuss serious trauma or mental illness. She of course is pretty knowledgeable about it, but she has just been trying her best to help me in an area she hasn’t been trained for.
