Flare

Anxiety is what they'll say it is,

A mind under stress is only half to blame.

Shivering from my fingers to my hips, this feeling is not due to worry,

Holding my glass, barely able to feel through this flurry,

The world is imperceptible through vision, blurry.

Sounds too loud and lights too bright, Medication is no cure,

Vitamins won’t fix my trembling shoulders.

I'm shaking down to the bone, a disease you denied,

My body's falling apart, upon fake cures i relied,

My body is screaming, attacking itself from the inside.

My feet tap in the silence, tired by the time it ends.

My insides rebel, tearing apart its own parts.

An illness of self-attack, a nervous system on fire,

Ignorance is bliss, but the more I explain, the more I grow tired,

In need of your understanding, compassion is all I require.

Yelling insides escape in whimpers, murmurs echo an unbearable discomfort,

Rattling teeth and empty thoughts, dry joints, and ugly skin,

This is the only way to soothe it, don't hold down my shaking knees,

A search for a cure only comes back with a maybe,

It's unlikely to be solved; not even my body recognizes me.

neurotypical people will be like "yeah loud noises bother me too" and meanwhile i once had to sit in a closet clutching a pillow sob-rocking for 2.5 hours because a fire alarm went off for a few seconds

#this is an extreme example but it says something i think #actuallyautistic #yes many of the sensory issues that bother me are also mildly annoying to other people #the issue is that's what a mild annoyance to you is a cause of pain and extreme distress to me #it's a medical issue that can disrupt my entire day and ability to function--at which point i get told i'm 'overreacting'#and listen that is not how sensory processing disorder works #it's not ME overreacting it's my sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems malfunctioning on a biological level #and buddy you are WELCOME to try arguing with them but i personally have spent years not getting results from that #they are Stubborn and they do not give a Damn what you have to say

OSDDID community, please remember that, yes, most cases of DID are covert, but not all cases. I am an overt DID system, my alters act extremely different from me and this has repeatedly caused me issues throughout my whole life. It has made navigating this disorder extremely difficult for me and has made people other me a lot. People have almost called emergency services on me for how differently I start acting when certain alters front. I physically cannot hide my symptoms. My symptoms have always been pointed out by others and I was very much estranged from and bullied by people around me for it. Even teachers would badger me over my symptoms.

It gets really tiring and demotivating seeing people saying over and over that "DID is covert," "DID is hidden," "DID never makes itself known" when all my life my DID has been overt, has never been hidden, and has made itself known. It makes me feel like my existence is inconvenient to address because people want to feel better about their experiences. But what about my experiences? It makes me feel isolated from the community because people are constantly saying that my experience is not real which has driven me further and further away from OSDDID communities because there's such scorn for the idea that overt systems do exist.

You can absolutely acknowledge that OSDDID most of the time is covert and not spotted by others. A lot of people do end up figuring out symptoms purely on their own and others doubt their symptoms because they are not obvious enough, and that sucks. But please do not then assume your experience is the only one and that overt systems are some made up concept or that OSDDID is inherently covert. We do exist and we need a place within the community as well

#This made processing the fact that I'm an overt system 100x harder bc it makes me feel isolated from a community that I joined #in the first place bc I felt isolated from everyone else #I noticed this is mostly a problem on reddit but I've also noticed it here so I figured I should say it #Anyway I'm v nervous about posting this for some reason - I hope it comes across in the way I intend lol #osddid system #did #osddid #cdd #did system #actually did #complex dissociative disorder #did osdd #dissociative identity disorder #system things #overt did #overt dissociative identity disorder #rant #rant kinda

There are two types of Bottoms (2023) rewatches (for me at least)

Or

#lets play a game of guess which one i am in tonight 🥹#spoiler its not the first one #isokay though im managing it well *well being a relative term for my usual amount of my panic attack management system #bottoms 2023 #bottoms movie #the amount of giggly smiling tricks my brain into thinking we're actually feeling happy and in a giggly mood #and the unhingedness gives my empathetic nervous system a chance to redirect its focus onto THEIR issues instead of #mine and then suddenly my brain has realized we're not in immediate danger #and boom we've got a perfect panic disorder management strategy for me #the other type of rewatch is also very fun. trust. Especially when I'm introducing it to my other sapphic friends. so much glee #and unintelligible thoughts. giggly unintelligible thoughts #anyhoo here you all go :))

PSA that being sleepy most of the time is not normal and sleep disorders are severely underdiagnosed, especially the rarer ones people don’t know how to recognize. If sleep is affecting your quality of life (too much, too little, involuntary actions, you feel like you haven’t slept when you have, etc) Seeing a sleep specialist could really improve your life!

#sorry but I have to promote my sleep disorder awareness agenda bc treatment has changed my life I had no idea sleep was the problem #ideopathic hypersomnia takes an average of 10 years to diagnose because no one except sleep specialists recognize the symptoms AS SYMPTOMS #it looks and feels like ‘bad habits’ but it’s literally the nervous system malfunctioning #dracula daily #dracula #sleep disorder awareness #sleep disorders #and some sleep specialists only have experience treating the most common disorders you have to keep getting a second opinion and beyond #Lucy has a parasomnia obviously but I really related to her 🥺#EDIT #someone mentioned mental health in a tag I want to clarify: asleep disorders =/= mental illnesses. psychologists won’t know how to help you #if you have a problem related to sleep go to a sleep specialist please. other doctors have very limited knowledge on sleep

I told my mother about my DID diagnosis she said she understood and said “it must be hard to live like that I’m so sorry” and she said she definitely saw it in me and understood now why my personality switched so often

Fr tho it's so annoying when you're told you're faking your disorders and/or illnesses. Like man you think I'm joking? You think this is funny?? Well I'm about to be fucking hilarious (gets ill)

#rambles #IDK GHEHSHHF #Sorry me saying that stuff just earlier reminded me of the time someone I used to talk to talked to me in such a way that #seemed to imply I was faking my dissociative disorder (idk what it is specifically but. i do have one)#like they were upset with me but someone else was fronting and they told me to stop the 'system shit' and tbh it kind of stuck #the system didn't talk outwardly aside from one or two people for MONTHS after that #because they all tend to be nervous about people getting aggressive with us #idk I don't talk about the system often. it's not something we discuss publicly I guess.

#just saw someone suggesting that ''everything being a disorder today'' stems from wanting a scientific explanation as to why theyre #different from everyone else and that desire itself stems at least partly from neoliberalism and individualism and wanting to be special #and buying into the facades of neoliberalism #and i get what theyre trying to say #but #my guy #your explanation was in context of things like chronic pain disorders and d/Deafness and autism and allergies #which most definitely do not stem from that. like i would still be autistic and still have chronic pain if i was not in a neoliberal society #neoliberal ideals are not the cause of my functional neurological disorder #neoliberalism isnt causing my peripheral nervous system to not work properly #i understand the argument youre trying to make and it definitely applies in some cases #but do not come into disabled spaces sprouting that shite #you know why i seeked a diagnosis for my chronic pain issues? because different chronic pain disorders can be treated differently #theres no point giving ne anti inflammatory meds for my fibromyalgia #and actually i do need the meds i take for my fnd because they reduce my nerve pain enough for me to function as a person #i didnt want a name for it so i could certify that i was an individual and not like everyone else #i wanted a name for it because i was in pain and i was suffering and i wanted medical treatment for it and i wanted an explanation as to why #i was in pain all the damn time
