been a topic that we've struggled to explain before so finally sat my ass down and drew it out. everyone compliment me on the dvd metaphor im really proud of that description (/silly). anyways yeah we did NOT have access to any sort of good mental health resources and half of the battle was realizing that trauma exists outside of like. people in the military. but i dont know if our descriptions of dissociation will be clear for others but i dunno i felt like this makes more sense to us than "feels like dreaming" or "cant recognize your appearance" or "feeling disconnected"
im still so angry over the fanfic though that was some next level bullshit there is literally like 8 different ways to tag that and you chose the one that minimizes the main common trigger in the work the most.
