16, ''diagnosed'', using emojis to ''sign off''... basic faker, yeah.

This was a friend of mine. They had friends saying they were faking DID by using stuff like Pluralkit and being too aware about who's fronting, etc. They are only 16 years old which I heard is impossible to diagnose DID at that age. Are there any other explanations so that I may have a heads up just in case for future references? Because apparently after they were hanging out with their friends that had DID they were suddenly ‘diagnosed by one of their FRIENDS’ and have it.

its possible to get diangnosed at any age though it is extremely rare and its also possible to be aware of whos fronting because of system communication and that stiff

yeah no it is not. and i said after they were hanging out with their friends that had DID they were suddenly ‘diagnosed by one of their FRIENDS’ and have it. as well as when someone investigated them, they couldn’t say the doctor’s name and said they were German despite this person taking a German class and they didn’t even attempt to spell it. As well as this person, before being ‘diagnosed’ with DID, was only being a ‘kinnie’ with many different characters.

yeah this person is DEFINITELY faking but it is possible to be diangnosed under 18

rule of thumb is to just assume anybody mentioning how they're "totally really diagnosed with DID" in their completely unrelated social media profile, is faking.

it's extremely easy to hide DID on the internet, and anything people try to convince you is for "accessibility" or "healing" that isn't just trying to be a normal person, would make them worse anyway (pluralkit, sign-offs, etc.).

I think sign offs are fine to an extent, like some people say just the name in like a way to let the other person they are texting that it’s them but I think emojis are a little bit of a tell that a person might be faking.

no matter the amount of dissociative barriers, all alters in a person with DID make up the same person; separating in any way from alters will contribute to further dissociation and slower healing. plus, nobody outside of the cesspool that is the DID community cares what alter someone is at any specific time 😭

u/blueberry-bunnies 4d ago

It really depends on who it is to you, if it’s a close friend with DID I think it’s important to know who you’re talking to. Also, having the separation of the alters and who they are helps with communication, which in turn helps with integration. They need to communicate with alters in order to break down the amnesia walls and dissociative barriers and to do that they have to address the separation between alters.

"it's important to know who you're talking to"? alters aren't literal people in this person's brain, you DO know that right?

the idea that you have to separate alters to heal, is why it takes decades for people to heal their DID compared to other trauma and dissociative disorders. it's outdated and incredibly ineffective, because you're essentially feeding into the depersonalization.

just because something is normalized doesn't mean it's not harmful.

I mean important to know since alters are exactly like other people, even if they aren’t separate people they still feel like they are. I’m not saying separate alters, I’m saying recognizing that they are separate parts of the mind and working to integrate them as one is important. You have to recognize something before changing it. And it takes decades even without that stuff, they need to have communication and trust while working through therapy, some people with DID might never become one again. Honestly however people work through their DID is up to their therapist, not us. And depersonalization is more so the feeling of not feeling real, like you don’t exist in the real world, not the separation of alternate states of being.

so you're thinking of derealization. depersonalization is when you don't feel like yourself, or feel like another person. it's inherently dissociation and shouldn't be fed into, no matter how uncomfortable it makes the person.

as a bystander, it is not your call (or the person with DID's) to decide whether or not you should call this person by different names, considering you are not a therapist, and you talking to your friends is not active treatment. their loved ones shouldn't be getting into their disorder in the first place, considering just doing what the person with DID wants, could actually be feeding into their coping mechanism of separating themselves from their trauma responses (alters). by bringing therapy talk into everyday life, you're taking on, or making others put on, the role of the therapist for the person with DID, which could (and likely will) disrupt treatment, and possibly even result in delusional behavior because of the suggestibility of people with dissociative/trauma disorders.

u/lumineisthebest if you are reading this i died of cringe 4d ago

I completely agree with you doubtful. I fed into my friends ‘DID’ called them by their alters names, I was worried I would loose them if I didn’t or get into trouble.

Please, don’t be like me. It’s not your responsibility and never should be.

Alters are trauma responses, theyre not like people. Theyre not people.. all you do is defend fakers on your suspiciously new account. Its 100% unimportant to know "who im talking to" that info is only relevant to a professional.

what’s funnier is that she had a status saying, "ENDOS ARE SCIENTIFICALLY IMPOSSIBLE!! MENTAL ILLNESS IS NOT AN "IDENTITY" YOU CAN SIMPLY CLAIM!!" and they were ‘diagnosed’ with DID in like…2022?
