There are many songs for us that we love and we can relate to with our DID because of their vibes and how weve interpreted their lyrics. What are yours' and why? Here's some of mine!!

"Sundial - Lemon Demon"

Don't mind me, I've just got some problems to work out

I'm only passing through or maybe just right out

Somehow something set my sundial backwards, tilted and upside-down

Now the shadow hand is pointing time right out of town

I cease to see you when I start to shut my eyes

And I forget that I had said my last goodbyes

Quickly I reopen them and bid you all "Cheerio, my friend"

This goes on for hours and it never seems to end

I don't remember what it is that I just said to you

I've got Anubis on my back and something in my shoe

"I'm So Bad - Oingo Boingo"

Can't seem to find my way

Someone tell me what to say

Where am I going

Where did I come from

I don't know, I don't know

Almost got to paradise

But the smoke always gets

In my eyes

Everything I do is wrong

I'm so bad

so bad

"Dead Goon - Mr.Bungle"

I've got a secret

Babbling senseless

No one will ever know

Kids can be so cruel

Smash the feeling

Suckle the sugar breast

"Toy Box - Insane Clown Posse"

...I was like six, I used to get dissed by the chicks

And everyone would chase me and hit me with bricks

And rocks and sticks and calling me names

And filled my lunchbox with frogbrains (eeww!)...

...Never knew any other girls or boys

Only my toys, toys, toys...

...Nobody knows I exist, and I'm pissed

But I won't be mentally scarred

Instead I make toys, toys of the graveyard

Monday, ringing the bell

It's all about show and tell, might as well

Show all these bastards just what I got

Yo, check out my toy box!

Hopefully mines' are self explanatory but I'll edit this post later with my own reasonings why. Looking forward to seeing everyone else's songs!!

💙 What it says on the tin.

Since I was 14, I started integrating myself within the system community on Discord (etc.) and I feel like it reinforced and brought forth a lot of bad habits into adulthood. Specifically, over the years the belief that every part has to be listened to, acknowledged, and accepted because everything is said for a “reason” has been a real problem online over the years.

I got professionally diagnosed with OSDD-4 early this year, and was told to do the exact opposite; 99% if not all of these thoughts are intrusive or harmful in nature — it’s done me a lot better to block out those thoughts entirely and discount them as intrusive rather than a discussion that needs to be had.

Has anyone else had this issue? How have you gotten over it? And are you currently in CDD communities that may do the same? I haven’t been in one since 2019, so I want to see if it’s gotten better after quarantine...

Is there any reason I'd feel really really sleepy while in my selfstates that are more like EPs, but absolutely awake and energized in a colder ANP state? Is this something others experience?

I have therapy tomorrow and want to bring it up.

what’s your story and experience? (obv. not actual trauma or anything)

Maybe points on f.e:

- What’s your experience as a system? How do you guys work?
- one small thing that helps you!

- How are you making your day to day work?
- How did you realise you were a system?
- How are you moving forward in life? What’s next?
- Have you gotten better?

Some context, why I’m asking:

I am very new to all this and barely know if I’m a system. My therapist said that it’s very clear that I am in todays session, so I guess it’s very clear that I am haha.

I’ve been in denial for a while, but I’m finally starting to accept it. I’m confused and since starting therapy my parts are taking up more space, and I’ve been switching more. I still feel a bit scared when I switch into new parts, im more open to listening too and some of them are terrifying. Not that I haven’t heard them before, it’s just that I’ve started responding now.

I’m struggling to make normal life work at the same time as having breakdowns and debating with my parts. I’ve been struggling a lot with dissociation lately which makes it nearly impossible to study, to socialise, and keep hope up as I don’t feel real. I also have an eating disorder and I’m relapsing:/ yup I’m not sure how to cope.

I’d love to learn from people with experience, and take any advice you want to give!

Does anyone know of good discord servers for systems/ osdd systems? A lot of us want to meet more people that are also systems but are struggling on where to find them.

just curious if anyone has symptoms like these? im not diagnosed and not even sure i have osdd, but ive been on and off questioning myself for years and have definitely considered the possibility it could be a dissociative disorder. im interested to see if you guys have had similar experiences.

im autistic so its been hard for me to consider this since i dont have textbook symptoms lol. im fully aware this could just be other general mental illnesses and dissociation but i wanna see if any of these are more common than I thought :,)

- no outright (noticeable) amnesia, but have frequent moments where reaching any memories is difficult / hazy, like everything even as recent as the day before is too hard to recall

- feeling like someone else is speaking through my mouth? pretty often ill respond to something in a voice that doesnt feel like my own / words different than what I meant to say ??? curious if this could just be an adhd thing but it really feels like someone wants to get a word in sometimes

- constant conversations / speaking in the back of my mind, unrelated to what im thinking about. usually if I try to 'listen in', it pulls away enough that I cant even understand it. im not invited to these convos apparently

idk! take this as a light hearted post, id love to see if any of yall have similar stories! it feels kind of weird that none of my friends share these experiences and while it may not be a dissociative disorder, id love to hear abt yalls experiences :D

Hi! I'd like to clarify that yes I'm looking for a new therapist and psychiatrist, the problem is that I moved to another country and finding a doctor here is harder than I expected.

I have generalized anxiety and depression, as well as suspected cptsd and/or ocd. I had to move countries for a work opportunity that really didn't leave us any time to look into anything other than where we were going to live, and that sadly meant that we didn't get to plan ahead for our medication since we do take anxiety meds and antidepressants.

Now. Before this talking to our partner wasn't a problem, they know about us and they're super nice and understanding. The problem is that after I finished the last reserve I had for my antidepressants we crashed like never before, a new alter was born from the stress of it all, and they do not like our partner at all.

Right now we're long distance, both busy with work and can't talk that much... Something the new alter (Eos) took as a sign we're not loved anymore and we should break up. So I really don't know what to do since, again, cutting the antidepressants so fast against my will really messed us up, so I don't know how to explain to them the arrangement we all already had with our partner.

What do you all do when one of you don't like your partner ? Or really what would you do in my situation...
