@AllysonBPD I’m okay! A little tired! Trying to figure out how long I’ve been inactive here... heaps of time loss at the moment! 😅

[kindness ✨ @kindnessdid]

So I got locked out aka forgot the password for this account and only now remembered! I cannot believe how long it took. I believe I was dormant for quite some time. How are you all?

[kindness ✨ @kindnessdid]

@timberwolf_jade It is good to be back ❤️ life has been okay... interesting! Honestly quite a lot has happened. Things are changing and it’s really scary! But good! I hope? I am glad to hear that things are well with you ✨❤️

@DavidLeanLeano Such a fantastic book! I also like the quote ‘you’re only as sick as your secrets’

@stefsanjati I can relate. I lost 6000 followers on IG when I recovered from anorexia.

@syskids We have only just seen this now and will send you a DM ❤️

We really, really wanted to advocate for positive change within the community regarding stigma and DID. After a long period of time, it has become clear to us that we can’t talk about our experiences without being labelled by others... and that’s not what we are here for.

@TalesUpon It’s hard because no one has ever had expectations for us, so we have placed exceptionally high standards upon ourselves with no real guide of what those standards should be. We only know what we have learnt in therapy and inpatient unit. It has been a strange time for all of us

[kindness ✨ @kindnessdid]

Lately we have realized that it is okay to be content with just existing for a day. If we shift our focus from the anticipation of ‘what’s next’ to ‘what is happening now’ we get far more gratification and enjoyment. We have tried to stop worrying about what the future holds.

The people who put on the best show are usually the people who are hiding the most.

@GlassJawDeath Right back at you ❤️

[kindness ✨ @kindnessdid]

A lot of the time when we write things on here we are writing them to each other and we apologise for that but also want to say that we appreciate those of you who interact with us because it helps to make us feel more human.

[kindness ✨ @kindnessdid]

@TalesUpon While we agree with you - we have always hyper focussed on what we can control (our body, our appearance etc) and it has served us nothing bad sadness, so letting go of what we cannot control has been a therapeutic step for us.

@MalignantOasis @quazy75 Unfortunately there are some people who will take advantage of these kinds of things and it’s a damn shame, and really unfair. We are sorry that happened to you. We know the feeling.

[kindness ✨ @kindnessdid]

Living with DID/OSDD is no walk in the park. Lately we have seen dissociation romanticised in ways that make us really uncomfortable. Crippling memory loss? Not cute. Inability to communicate with others? Painful to live with. The list goes on ... and on ... and on ...

[kindness ✨ @kindnessdid]

@NeverlandSystem We second that.

[kindness ✨ @kindnessdid]

That sounds harsh - surely. But it hasn’t been easy for us. It has been really god damn difficult and we feel like we have the right to talk about it if we need to do so. We feel like there are people out there who will resonate with or understand this post.

TW: Drugs, Abuse

Growing up our mother was really forthcoming about drugs and alcohol. Really, really open. She wanted us to feel comfortable talking with her about drugs and alcohol. She was an addict herself. We tried wine at 12. We tried acid with her (and 2 friends) at 14.

[kindness ✨ @kindnessdid]

her addiction. Then again it was our choice... and she was very sick. We just don’t know where to land with all of this and it feels so much to carry. We just feel so guilty about it and like we wasted so much time. But the the that has gone by since she passed has been positive
