Good Thing I Always Make My Own Vanilla Extract! This Liter Ought To Last Me At Least A Couple Weeks

stop getting your information on did/osdd-1 from unsourced and uninformed tumblr posts, twitter threads, and youtube/tiktok videos like i swear to god i'm going to legit end up in a psych ward again if y'all keep parroting actually dangerous misinfo because of what some random 14 y/o claims is correct.

here's some decent sources where you can get some actually helpful and accurate info:

dissociation faqs from the international society for the study of trauma and dissociation

did-research - basic, but it's there.

traumadissociation - detailed explanation of diagnostic criteria and symptom presentation.

this-is-not-dissociative and also their resource list - one of the mods, katherine, is the creator of did-research.

did-sos - mainly resources for those who have did/osdd-1 (or "just" cptsd), but others may find it informative or even helpful nonetheless.

bear in mind all of this stuff should be looked at with a critical eye, as with everything online pertaining to highly stigmatized psychiatric diagnoses. don't just take things at face value, think about them.

did/osdd-1 is not like sybil. did/osdd-1 is not like split or glass. did/osdd-1 is not like the united states of tara. did/osdd-1 is not "multiple people in one body" or obvious blackout switches and dissociative fugue between every single alter or something purely iatrogenic/sociocognitive in nature. it is a post-traumatic condition as a result of long-term traumatic experiences in early childhood where a reliance on dissociation as a coping mechanism prevents integration of the parts of the self into a cohesive whole. i'm making this post because twitter is a shitshow of both teenagers and grown adults that should know better spreading easily disproven and sometimes dangerous bullshit like insisting child alters should be treated like actual children and doing otherwise is problematic when actual predators have used that same logic to groom actual children. what people with did/osdd-1 need is less myths and misinformation, not more. the pervasive misunderstanding of and stigma against osddid is part of why we face disturbingly high rates of suicide and psychiatric abuse that exacerbates the trauma we've already faced. it's a serious issue that extends beyond internet arguments and while people without did/osdd-1 need to be more vigilant about participating in the spread, the enormous chunk of people who have it and are happily being wrong aren't exempt from this either.

❤️ this post must be reblogged by everyone ❤️

Your child is not okay. They redownloaded Tumblr after 3 years and made a new side blog purely to explore ED Tumblr again

Man, there really are a lot of us trans autistics with eating disorders on here huh.

If it's still available, Knight of Light

The Knight of Life

The Knight of Life is someone who is kind and optimistic, always putting others first and taking the step back to allow others to pass them, even when it can be harmful to them.

The Knight of Life is someone who will encourage everyone around them to try their best and if you don’t succeed the first time, try again until you do get it right.

The Knight of Life will help others get past their fears, encouraging them to do things that they’d only wished or dreamed to do one day because the Knight is trying their best to bring out the Life within others.

The Knight of Life at the same time doesn’t really do anything that they’d hoped to do because they believe that they’re not worthy or that they have to work harder to earn their right to do fun things, when really they’ve been going above and beyond the whole time.

The Knight of Life can be seen as something like a perfectionist, always having to do better then they had before, even if they’re already doing the best they can, because they’ll never be satisfied.

The Knight of Life needs to learn to take things down a notch sometimes and to care for themselves more often because while they may be taking care of everyone else’s lives, they’re neglecting their own and that’s never good.

Ed bitches be like "I wanna be fragile and dainty" bro you eat less than a toddler should, you are definitely fragile on a medical point

does anyone else find it really comforting that 1200 cals is seen as the bare minimum for daily cal intake?? i be eating 800 cals feeling SO guilty then remember that under 1000 cals a day is literally unthinkable to regular people

thinking about the time 2 years ago in AP US history when we had to answer if we thought lincoln should be regarded as good or bad and i said "i think it's hard to label someone good or bad with a simple binary. people are just too complex. i think that in this case, it's more constructive to recognize both the achievements and faults of a person together, and to uphold the good they put into the world while condemning their issues and try to move forward with that knowledge without putting them on a pedestal" and my teacher was like "yes! this exactly!" and i never admitted to anyone that i originally came to this philosophy because of. vriska

"Treat others how you want to be treated."

That phrase is one I've heard all my life growing up, yet it's clear how my family wants me to treat them.

My uncles want to be left alone, even in the worst circumstances,

my grandma wants to keep in touch and love me always,

my dad wants nothing to do with me (same as my sisters apparently) my brothers want space and nothing but space and for their annoying younger brother to stay away

and my mom.. well,

if she wants to be treated as how she treated me, then surely I should kill everything she loves, throw her to a rap!st for 1.5 years, bring men around that will treat her like shit (oh wait she already does that herself), betray her repeatedly, destroy her room and let crackheads sell everything/destroy everything she has, tell her no matter what she is to upkeep the majority of the house chores (yes even with fresh SH! cuts), tell her her medical problems are not only a burden but a detriment to how I'M living MY life and that she needs to think of the family when she complains about anything, call her a bitch, cunt, monster, manipulative, etc., call her just to scream at her for manipulating my friends into helping her get necessities out of life, neglect her in a trap house for 6 years with no outside support except begging neighbors for essentials like hygiene products, drivee with her in the vehicle but almost crash it about 5 times each time, demean, aggravate, punish, abuse her as she's abused me.

...And then tell her that she's not allowed to seek outside help or support, and not even utter a single fucking word about what goes on in the house, because as she's told me over and over, what happens in the house stays in the house.

And she still thinks she deserves forgiveness? She treats me like a criminal not knowing she's a serial killer of souls and hope.

I've forgiven her actions of the past, but that doesn't mean the pain and absolute agony of a life I once knew just disappears.
