you are good even when you are unemployed.
you are good even when you need to rely on others’ help.
you are good even when you are depressed.
you are good even when you are hurt.
you are good even when you are scared.
you are good even when you are overwhelmed.
you are good even when you are not tidy.
you are good even when you are confused.
you are good even when you have difficulty performing tasks.
you are good even when you feel like you’ll never measure up to being an adult.
symptoms are not morality.

(TW FOR ABLEISM, AND BRIEF MENTIONS OF AGGRESSION, ISOLATION, AND SUI IDEATION)
"Not all autistics have no empathy/sympathy/remorse!! Stop saying we do, it's harmful!"
Yes, of course not all autistics are that way because not every autistic is anything (besides autistic, of course.). So what about the autistics and otherwise neurodivergents that ARE that way? I'm aggressive when I'm upset. I don't feel empathy. I only feel sympathy for very specific people and very specific situations. And whilst I can't speak for those without remorse, I can say I'm the opposite. I feel such intense remorse that I'll isolate myself and decide everyone would be better off without me because I did something as simple as yelling at someone via text message.
Neurodivergent people who experience symptoms that aren't "pretty" are still deserving of love. Neurodivergent people who don't feel empathy/sympathy/remorse are still deserving of love.

Hey, I know chronic pain is absolute hell for physically disabled and chronically ill people, but can we also talk about the chronic discomfort symptoms?
Like, it doesn’t hurt per se, but it sucks ass.
Like involuntary movements, making it hard to move or function
Nausea, the absolute BITCH
confusion, brain fog, forgetfulness
Getting lightheaded or dizzy or problems with the vestibular senses
RESTLESSNESS
Numbness and tingling
Fucking fatigue. Like the kind that makes you feel like a rubber noodle that weighs 800 tons and you can hardly left an arm.
Weakness in general, like that’s annoying as hell. Why can I not open this bottle.
I haven’t experienced this, but I imagine full or partial paralysis is pretty sucky.
Trembling. Like, sometimes not even because something hurts. Your just shaking, vibrating, man. What.
So yeah. Complain about discomfort from your disabilities and illnesses, you deserve it.

My therapist thinks that my alters are moreso an extreme version of BPD identity confusion and emotional separation. Essentially, the thought is I am so extremely dissociated from my emotions that are deemed bad that I gave them names and faces so I had someone to blame for bad decisions.
I definitely think she has a point, especially with how a lot of us have really good communication and we have an extremely vivid inner world and we don't have blackout amnesia (as far as I know lol). However, these parts can talk to me independently and have extremely different opinions about people and things, and more often than not they choose their own name or already have one.
Idk, this might be a redundant ask from someone else you've answered, but I value your guys' insight and would love to hear your input
Hi uh. I really don't agree with your therapist.
A vivid inner world and the fact that these are genuinely separate consciousnesses are not BPD things.
And the thing about amnesia is usually you don't actually know the extent of your amnesia, you know, due to the amnesia. I am also very hesitant to agree with anyone who dismisses alters as a BPD symptom as that is just not how BPD works. Independent consciousnesses are not you trying to run away from bad feelings.
On the note of being hesitant to believe this type of thing, I have a friend who is very obviously polyfragmented with DID right? They had a psych try to convince them their textbook DID symptoms were a comorbidity of BPD and autism. In a way they were "professional" about it but if you took one look at the situation they were obviously dismissing obvious symptoms and issues and not taking my friend seriously.
Medical malpractice and misdiagnoses are plentiful when you're as ill as people like us tend to be.
Believe whatever but I do want to say I strongly disagree with your therapist based on what you've said in this ask alone.

Symptoms of grief:
feeling a heavy weight in your body pulling you to the ground
only being able to move slowly, not having any energy to move fast
feeling numb, emotionless, uncaring, stone-cold or deeply sad
feeling like nothing in the world matters and nothing is worth doing
not having any interest in activities that take any energy
finding other people tiring, and interactions exhausting
clinging to anything old, familiar, nostalgic, and comforting
wanting a distraction, but also feeling like nothing can distract you enough
over-indulging in distracting activities like video games, tv shows, internet
not being able to find words to express what you’re going thru, feeling like nobody could possibly understand or empathize
not wanting to see or talk to other people, wanting to be alone, but also longing for comfort and familiarity
doing anything is very tiring and you wish you could only lie down forever
not wanting to eat, or alternatively, always wanting to eat
craving mostly comfort food, things you’ve had in some period in your past, or sweets, fast food, anything that brings you a little comfort
losing control over your diet, not being able to care about what you’re eating
feeling like this feeling will never end, feeling like you should be over it already
having surges of memories, some of them painful, some of them made painful by the fact that they’re in the past, unchangeable, unrepeatable
feeling physical pain in the area of your chest, back, stomach, shoulders, if a particularly painful memory is touched or triggered
wishing you could stop feeling and re-experiencing past moments
feeling like you’re never going to be happy again
feeling like you’re dying
