Mmmmmmmmm…. Who do you think are the top 5 fans of midokoto? ^_^
What about from the start (laufey) x 0909?
love the different hair thing for john w/ the mullet but what do we think about mido with a small ponytail in the back . .. ...
Hello, I don't personally have DID or OSDD, but I want to learn about them, I'm worried about reading things that aren't true or something like that, do you know any good resources to learn about them, or a way to check if the resource im using is good? Hopefully this isn't weird to ask or anything
hi!! not weird at all, don't worry ^^ i personally recommend https://did-research.org/
hello usermeowtake i hope you have a very good day today!!! i just wanted to say you’re really cool and your tweets are extremely silly/pos :3
HII! IM GLAD TO HEAR THAT YOURE OKAY :3 im good thamk you (≧▽≦)
hey alda! how have u been lately ^_^
Hihi this is a random thought but if mikoto had an alter for every colour of the rainbow what do you think their personalities/roles would be? This isn’t a theory or anything it’s just a silly thought (pinkoto would be a really fun life of the party type of guy I think)
this is a very silly question i adore it. hmm. okay so. red is john, protector ofc and i also consider him to be an anger holder?? idk it seems pretty clear to me that he is one, even though i don't see much people discussing it. orange,, i feel like orange could be some introject yk. idk who but yeah let's give them an introject. orange she/her. and maybe some symptom holder of. something. i think orange may be a bit younger than a body age, but not a little. maybe she formed doing uni or high school??/ yellow! i remember seeing yellowkoto theory? i think it talked about yellow being a little and a memory holder? I so totally support that. green is mido ofc, gatekeeper and blue is mikoto. purple,, i think purple would be the artistic alters who. likes art. yeah. cause mikoto canonically does it but he kinda given up;( purple would love analyzing stuff, going to art galleries, poetry and classical literature!!! they r pretty melancholic and calm, but super kind and passionate when they get to talk about art.
that's all when it comes to rainbow colors, but i totally agree with u on pink, i think pink could be a mood booster !!!! how do we feel about hatsune miku color hatsune miku introject (sorry I like hatsune miku system jokes i think its mikk's fault.) black as grief & guilt holder. projecting but i love grief holders they need a big hug okay.
hey how are you? i'm sorry for coming here to ask this but i've been thinking i may be a system (for reasons i don't think are necessary for me to disclose here) and i've tried communicating with possible headmates, and i think i may be a system of 2 or maybe 3 (not sure), but i'm questioning if it's possible to be a system with only 2 or 3 alters because i've seen people criticize media rep when the system has only 2 alters (like mikosys, if they really end up being only mikoto and john, i've seen people criticizing it for it) :/ so.... is it possible? or is it more likely that, if i really am a system, i just couldn't contact the others yet? i'm sorry i know you aren't a therapist and you're not entitled to answer me, but i can't afford therapy right now and even if i'm reading a lot about systems online i'm still getting so confused idk what else to do. and english isn't my first language sorry if anything i typed is confusing. thank you in advance !!
hi, sorry for late response aaaa. I'm good, thank you, hope you're okay too :D it is totally possible!! it's true that "larger" systems are more common and also, from my own and others experience i know that it kinda takes time to acknowledge other alters, so there is an option that after some time you will be like "oh, nvm, there's also this guy. and this. and oh these 5 other guys in the corner. oh. hatsune miku." (/lhj) but if that won't happen, there is nothing wrong with that! If it helps u, my system is also quite confusing, we have distinct members, while also having parts and fragments. not everyone has their own feeling of identity, but some do, so it feels annoying sometimes, you know, there's our co-host that we are besties with and all, but then there are also some nameless mfs that i know exist and front sometimes in certain situation but i'm unable to communicate with them for now. i guess it's a result of our own experience and denial, a bit of trying to force fusion and stuff but it's just a guess honestly. anyway yeah not gonna get personal here i just wanted to say that i get you cause i myself often stess over my experience being quite different than most of my sys friends and i have moments when i am like "thats impossible, i got it all wrong" even though i know i didn't and we're literally medically recognized so,,
and yeah it's true that system rep with only 2 alters gets criticized a bit, because in the end many systems do have more and want to see that too, but it doesn't mean it is inaccurate or something!! smaller systems are also common and valid :) i personally don't want mikosys to be just mikoto and john, but not because I hate the idea of just 2 alters but because John split in mikoto's twenties and DID comes from early childhood trauma so it would be just inaccurate. plus mido theory just makes so much sense come on bcjdhg
but yeah, to answer you: it is possible! just like it is possible that you haven't been able to contact the others yet, but that's not something to worry about, it doesn't make you any less real and whether you discover more headmates or not, you are completely valid and you aren't less of a system !!<3
Hello this is the person who asked the question before about DID and OSSD. I asked you because i was told google isn't inclusive enough and the dsm5 is too strict. Im sorry if i offended you please tell your mutuls to stop vauging me i just wanted to learn from a first hand source and i thought u seemed nice
Hi !! I'm really sorry if my response sounded mean, it wasn't my intention, sorry:( I didn't mind the question that much but the way you worded it felt a bit weird and I felt a bit too presssured, that's why I reacted dryly💔 sorry, I know you meant no harm and like I said I really appreciate you wanting to learn.
Well, it's true that not every information online will be good and dissociative discorders have a bad history with it, but medical skepticism isn't too good. like, yk, there's a difference between diagnosis criteria which u asked for and between stuff that's mostly about personal experience of systems, like how certain stuff feel etc, because that's really broad and depends on many stuff. I totally think that to educate yourself on most stuff u can't just google dsm5, but in this case it's just,, the only option ig? like I really couldn't provide more detailed answer bc I can only speak on myself💔 i know u had no bad intentions and I appreciate u wanting to learn, don't worry!!
and I dont really know what u mean by my mutuals vauging u, only like two people replied to my tweet with the answer and thats all i saw i think?? but yeah I hope that people who will read that know that u didnt mean anything bad, i never said you did and im not mad or anything
throws a cat at you and runs
I want to be educated on systems and ive asked two times but no answer so ill ask again. What is the difference between DID and OSSD one and two?
Hi, as I said on twitter I don't answer stuff immedietly and usually I need some time, sorry for keeping you waiting, my adhd and being uni student doesn't really let me👍 also i got one question about it, not two?? but okay uh generally osdd is diagnosed when not all diagnostic symptomps for DID are met, the main difference is that DID systems have more distinct alters and experience dissociative amnesia between them, OSDD-1a systems have less distinct alters and often see them more as parts or versions of themselves while experiencing the amnesia and OSDD-1b systems have distinct alters and don't really experience this sort of amnesia. Of course most systems still deal with dissociative amnesia, but there's like difference between the one between switching and the. more general one. HOWEVER it is just the most basic thing between these discorders that differs them and it is obviously not the same for everyone, experiences of systems vary. Im sorry for not providing you a more detailed answer, but I can really just speak about myself. I'm open to questions about my experience on more specific system-related stuff (unless I find it too personal) and I really appreciate you wanting to educate yourself, but when it comes to topics like this one, I honestly would recommend just googling it and reading more about diagnostic criterias and experiences of other systems than me, doing your own reaserch, because it isn't a hard information to find and it will probably take you less time that waiting for my answer . Please don't get me wrong, I appreciate you wanting to learn, but I am really just a teenager that is on twitter mostly to tweet about their interests and me being open about my discorder doesn't make me an educational account.
i’m sorry if this is weird but.. you may have helped me discover that i am a system. i am fortunate enough to have a therapist, and i will be talking about it to her in my next appointment but you have genuinely helped me a lot. i know you don’t even know me, and i’m just a random stranger on the internet but i feel so relieved in a way. i thought i was going insane. you’re also really sweet, and i just want to thank you for all the help you’ve done. <3
