@documense @yuebingsys Fair. But how would you describe parts? I guess they don’t necessarily have to be contradictory but I don’t think parts exist in a literal sense afaik. It’s like how we think of our limbs as different body parts compared to our torso but really they aren’t separate at all.

[gordonramsayfan2000 @ramsayfan2000]

@documense @yuebingsys Respectfully, can we not just all call plurality a “socio-religious” philosophy at this point? We understand DID as a dissociative* condition that affects felt sense of identity with distinct self-states. Are parts not just conceptualization of contradictory pieces of self? /gen

[gordonramsayfan2000 @ramsayfan2000]

@part17worldwide @GUNSNVOYURZ Being a system is the personal philosophy that you are made up of multiple independent parts that work together. The criteria more so refers to dissociative “self-states” of identity confusion and/or alteration + DP/DR (which some people internally conceptualize as parts).

@fairweather15k @mightnotbeaIone I hope you don’t.

[one guy. maybe more @documense]

it is not a requirement in the DSMV criteria to identify as more than one person in order to have DID

[gordonramsayfan2000 @ramsayfan2000]

To be fair, Twitter is quite possibly the worst platform to have a discussion on.

[gordonramsayfan2000 @ramsayfan2000]

I wish more people were open to discussions and interpretations. No one perspective is anymore valid than another. We must seek to understand each other if we want any hope of growing as individuals.

[gordonramsayfan2000 @ramsayfan2000]

@luck_ofthedraw_ @documense Fair. I think this discussion stems from a misunderstanding of what it means to have parts. Everyone has parts, DID causes an internal experience of separation between parts. This is why system terminology feels inappropriate to me. The argument shouldn’t be about parts imo.

[gordonramsayfan2000 @ramsayfan2000]

@SquareWaveLucky @documense Right, I should’ve clarified by saying “clinically significant levels of dissociation”. My point is that having a disorder does not inherently grant someone the experience of parts. The more important measure is degree of dissociation.

[gordonramsayfan2000 @ramsayfan2000]

@featherleafern If we view dissociation from a structural lens, the diagnostic distinction between dissociative conditions becomes highly pertinent for proper treatment. But I see dissociation as a spectrum, an ebb and flow tied to daily trauma reminders. Does the label even matter then?

[gordonramsayfan2000 @ramsayfan2000]

@featherleafern My biggest question is still “whats the difference?” At what point does dissociative identity confusion become DID? And is DID truly structural or is it purely dissociative? These are the nuances I feel need to be explored.

[one guy. maybe more @documense]

I think it’s healthier when starting out to go “I might have a complex dissociative disorder” instead of “I might be a system” if you’re looking to understand yourself more accurately beyond just “multiple people disorder.”

[gordonramsayfan2000 @ramsayfan2000]

@mashirodiamond Not to mention, treatment for these conditions are often times near identical. At a certain point, arguing labels becomes semantics. Just focus on your symptoms and what best helps YOU personally.

[gordonramsayfan2000 @ramsayfan2000]

@mashirodiamond I understand how frustrating and invalidating this is. I would recommend to try to focus less on labels though. Most diagnostic labels in mental health are contentious and share a lot of overlap. What one doctor may describe as PTSD, another may see CPTSD.

@erihernandez122 @SkyAsassino actually women have never ever fought in a war in the history of earth 😀

[gordonramsayfan2000 @ramsayfan2000]

@The_Bunny_Doll the differential between CPTSD and BPD (and arguably DID) is so highly contented and blurred that i don’t see a benefit in distinguishing the two most of the time. just focus on what type of treatment works for you rather than forcing a label.

@ThefantasticsL @Echo_Captil PLEASE show me statistics regarding lesbians being forcefully transitioned. This is not an issue and you have been radicalized into believing a crisis that does not exist.
