@ramsayfan2000@yuebingsys I mean you can if you want, I’m not interested in plurality at large and have no horse in that race as I do not identify with plurality. that being said for your second question: no, they are not.
theoretically if someone has DID and reaches functional multiplicity to the point their DID no longer impacts their life to the extent of being disordered they could be a system still while not meeting criteria and "no longer" have DID/a disorder
@kacchantachi I don’t think you can say “I didn’t stop having DID so it’s not true” when you also say “I’ve achieved SOME level of functional multiplicity” - you aren’t all the way there yet. that being said, we are talking about meeting the criteria for DID and having a disorder
@kacchantachi I think you may be misunderstanding what functional multiplicity looks or functions like if you are under the impression that it is a “complex system” rather than just existing in a naturally functional state after working to get yourself to that point
@kacchantachi diversity in the structure of your brain is also not enough to be considered inherently a disorder given someone technically doesn’t have DID if their culture explains the phenomenon as being due to a different origin/meaning
@kacchantachi with DID most of the dysfunction comes from the underlying CPTSD. dealing with the CPTSD and absolving that trauma to the point you no longer have intrusions is not a “complex system” that can be equated to medicine or an app
@yuebingsys not according to the dsmv! disorder is a fairly specific thing that (paraphrasing) indicates dysfunction with your ability to live a fulfilling life. it also says if someone has DID but it’s explained culturally/religiously it explicitly doesn’t count
don’t tell myself this but recently I’ve been feeling incredibly taken for granted and like it’s fucked up I pay $160 a month for someone to clean when there are two people in the household without jobs and if I want basic chores done I have to ask repeatedly
@cranberryowo1@samsillycat i lowkey think hes very funny. guy has trans people as his special interest and is doing honestly very important work in the field of research for us because of it
this is to say, no i do not believe an 18 year old who has had no therapy is going to suddenly absolve their complex trauma to the point of not having a disorder. sorry but youre not getting out of this shit that easy no matter what you tell yourself
i dont believe anyone who has DID who is under 23 or so (arbitrary number) is getting to that point without intensive therapy and work on themselves but i do believe in "nondisorded plurality" to that extent at the very least
I am not colorblind technically in the traditional way, I’ve got tritanomaly so i CAN see all the colors just slight to the left and also I have trouble telling between red and orange + orange and yellow + yellow and green + green and blue + blue and purple
