A common one is how people feel when a person talks about their inner world as a real place. Why does that bother you so much? I’m genuinely wondering. And don’t hit me with the “it’s weird, it’s not okay, that’s not how systems work” or something else that is absolutely ridiculous. I want to know a full-depth answer on why someone with DID or OSDD (a fellow system) talking about their inner headspace causes such distress for you?

In my opinion, who really cares lol? Why are we policing how people interact with their system if they are a legitimate traumagenic system that is not spreading misinformation about systems? It’s like when people say they have a front room, cool! If someone talks about how it’s like an empty void, also cool! A person mapping out their inner world or drawing it? Lovely! But then god forbid someone talks about the inner world like a real place (which usually they know it’s not real as far as IRL goes).

It’s always systems support systems until they’re a little different from you (and no I do NOT include endo’s/nontraumagenic people, they are NOT systems). A professional wouldn’t put down someone for talking about their inner world so why should you?

Oh boy, oh boy, oh boyyyyyyyy…do we have something a bit different for once to post about? I expect some people will be confused or even rushing to my account to send hate, lmao. I was posted on System Cringe, and a lot of screenshots are of my vents, general posts, and even educational posts from the disability group that I’m in. With that being said, we’re here to debunk pretty much every bit of ableism that was put up on this post. Mind you, they even targeted my fucking service dog, and she’s family.

Edit; As of 6hours again which is 3:03 AM EST my time — the post has been taken down however this post will still be kept up

The post

Their reasoning

For one, I’m not bumming off my parents. You cannot look at someone’s online life and assume you know everything about their real-time life. I have not refused to get a job, and I never once said I did not want to ever work. I am a high school graduate in a very competitive city. I have been trying to get a job for months now. I have never once said I had Dissociative Identity Disorder. I am diagnosed with Other Specified Dissociative Disorder. A service dog is trained to aid a disability. Ahsoka is task-trained in multiple tasks such as dissociative alert/response, panic alert/response, brief guide work, crowd control, and so forth. It does not matter what colors the dog has on. If you know anything about the service dog community, then you’d know there are MANY service dogs with colorful gear. As far as the comment about me being ‘vague’ in the screenshots shown, it doesn’t matter lol. You’re a stranger on the internet, in reality I’m not obligated to tell you my life in detail. I am OFFICIALLY diagnosed with OSDD and every other disorder I have mentioned here and anywhere else. I don’t need to explain my symptoms to you in the way you prefer it.

I do not switch between saying I have DID or OSDD. I have said DID/OSDD when talking about both disorders, yes, but I am not a DID system or a person with DID. I 100% believe in RAMCOA and programming and am a victim of it. I have actively spoken to both my psychiatrist and therapist about this exact subject. I have never thrown a temper tantrum lol, I have no interest to debate with people about what I have dealt with when talking about traumatic events. My alters have NEVER threatened just random people? They have never said anything about random abusive parents and they don’t consider themselves edgelords.

Yes, I am officially diagnosed with the following: OSDD, PTSD, BPD, Panic Disorder, Social Anxiety Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Major Depressive Disorder, and I am at risk for psychosis. Yes, ADHD has a question mark because my psychiatrist and therapist were heavily questioning it, but it was never officially confirmed. I am not diagnosed with autism, so no, I would never tell anyone that I have autism unless I was diagnosed with it. Yes, I deal with having Stockholm Syndrome, which is yet again another condition that I spoke about with my therapist and psychiatrist. Me explaining that I have psychotic symptoms is not me implying that I have schizophrenia. I actually don’t think I’m close to having schizophrenia, maybe psychotic disorder at best if we were really getting there. Yes, there are alters that are different holders in our system, they handle certain symptoms better depending on what they’re a holder of. Our disorders still affect us collectively. Zai is our co-host and yes he gives off a more happier persona because that’s just how he is. I do show symptoms but you wouldn’t know that because you’re a stranger.

Yes, I connect with their theriotypes, kins, and so forth of canines. Is it affecting you? What does that have to do with me not being a system? Absolutely nothing. I am not pro-endo; this is common knowledge. Anytime I’ve stated I was pro-endo is if I was sneaking into a pro-endo server, and usually, I mass-report everyone in there. I only do that when I’m bored too.

That is my dog. You’re referring to the account JediScoutRegiment on TikTok and Instagram. That is MY TikTok/Instagram, there is nothing talking about DID because I don’t have DID. I don’t talk about much system content on there. There’s no ‘theme’ because she isn’t fake.

Comment Set #2

You clearly know nothing about me and my mom’s relationship, nor do you understand what I was trying to explain in that vent. As I mentioned earlier, yes, I am unemployed; however, I’ve been actively applying for jobs, but the job market is competitive here. Me asking my mother for $40 isn’t just obnoxiously begging for money. I wasn’t crying about not getting money; I was frustrated with some of what she said to me that was a ‘joke’.

Comment Set #3

I don’t care for the attention. Just don’t touch my dog without my permission or interfere with her working. In reality, no dog should be touched without the handler’s permission. I love Rainbow Gear. I guess you do too lmao.

Comment Set #4

How am I sick? What exactly have I done to be called that? My dog is not an American pitbull terrier, so please learn your breeds. My dog has been working for almost 4 years now, and gear has never been a problem.

Comment Set #5

These dogs are not nanny dogs, and Ahsoka would most certainly not qualify to watch children due to her extreme drive. Any breed can be a service dog according to the Americans with Disabilities Act. Ahsoka was basically a rescue, and I got her, then trained her. What’s the problem?

Comment Set #6

My dog is indeed task-trained. Not sure how I don’t fall under people in need of a service dog lol. My service dog’s gear is perfectly fine. She runs, walks, and tasks on it.

Comment Set #7

I mean I think I’m pretty friendly lol..? Is being friendly a sin now? Anyone can say anything bad to me at any time of the day, clearly.

Comment Set #8

I pretty much already addressed all their claims. I’m not diagnosed with DID, the gear she wears doesn’t matter, my dog is very clearly tasked trained, I am officially diagnosed with multiple mental illnesses.

The way we unironically relate to chapter 4 in a different kind of level? It’s hard to explain but we kinda do. Although I’d like to talk about Doey! He’s such a system coded character and we really like how well written he is. Despite his sad story, they really show the struggle of dealing with identity after scientists basically murged the 3 kids into one dough body. Those kids are Matthew, Kevin and Jack! You can also see that on his body there are hands of different colors. Orange being Matthew, Yellow being Jack, and Red being Kevin. Throughout the game their tone of voice kinda changes and you can SORTA tell who’s talking.

You can also tell the difference in personalities too and how sometimes it feels like they’re fighting themselves. Matthew is the understanding one who’s really protective of his family, Kevin is more angry and cold, Jack is more emotional.

On another part of the game too, it’s almost like a switch front situation where there’s confusion as if one kid came out and is lost about what’s going on. And in a different part when Doey is mad at the player you can tell that the crying part could be Jack (or all of them), the anger is clearly Kevin, and Matthew is trying to remain calm. I do generally love though that again they still show that they are children dealing with this nightmare. Overall we just really relate to the identity struggle and confusion that is present in Doey’s character! Chapter 4 was really good!

Reminder we are aware Doey does not have DID/OSDD, it’s just how his character is that feels system coded but we don’t think he has either disorders.

Hello!! Just wanted to present some facts about service dogs as a service dog handler myself! Feel free to ask any questions that you may have as well! My current service dog, Ahsoka, has been working for 3 years, and service dogs have been a lot that I research about! (This is research is based in the US)

How are service dogs helpful?

Service dogs can be helpful in a variety of ways, and it really varies from handler to handler. For example, guide dogs help guide their blind handler! Or a service dog alerting to a high heart rate! It varies based on your need, but typically, they help regardless.

What types of service dogs are there?

• Psychiatric Service Dog

• Dissociation Response Dog

• Autism Assistance Dog

• Seizure Alert Service Dog

• Diabetic Alert Service Dog

• Cardiac Alert Service Dog

• Allergen Detection Service Dog

• POTS Alert Service Dog

• Hearing Service Dog

• Guide Dogs For The Blind

• Dual Sensory (Deafblind) Service Dog

• Mobility Service Dog

• Medical Detection Service Dog

• Cancer Detection Service Dog

Mind you, Cancer Detection service dogs I mostly see used in hospitals to help detect if a patient has cancer! Multi-purpose service dogs also are a thing where they may have both, for example, psychiatric tasks and medical tasks.

Also, if your disability wasn’t up there, that doesn’t mean a service dog can’t help with it! I just put what I can remember right at the top of my head!

What tasks can service dogs perform?

Here is a giant list of service dog tasks! Be aware though that any task that requires the dog to leave your side in a public space is dangerous. If you are a faint risk or have a disability that when you’re down you’ll need help, please train a bark alert for your dog. The dog will bark until someone comes! The reason why the dog leaving is risky is because he/she can get hurt, attacked by another dog, or even stolen. A task that requires the dog to leave you entirely should only be done at home or somewhere safe that nothing bad can come to the dog (NOT in public).

Do emotional support animals, Therapy dogs, and/or Guard dogs count as service dogs?

They do not! A service dog is defined as a dog that is individually trained to do work or perform tasks for the benefit of an individual with a disability.

Emotional support animals are not task-trained; therefore, they aren’t allowed in non-pet-friendly spaces.

Therapy dogs can sometimes be allowed in public spaces if requested by a school, hospital, etc. However, therapy dogs help more than one person and are also not task-trained.

Guard dogs are not task-trained, and service dogs cannot show any aggression towards the public or someone else. (I don’t count if your dog is attacked and they’re defending themselves against another dog.)

Do service dogs need identification or certifications?

Service dogs do NOT need to wear any kind of service dog vests or tags as it’s not a requirement per the Americans Disabilities Act.

In the US, we have no certifications either! People make fake ones online, but they do no justice as they aren’t real or official.

A college or school may ask for a doctor’s note for proof of disability and why you might need a service dog to give you accommodations for you and your service dog. This, however, is not a legal certification! Just a doctor’s note that can be written by a doctor, mental health professional, etc.!

How do I get a service dog? Can they be any breed?

A service dog can be trained by the owner, an organization, or a trainer that isn’t part of an organization!

Owner training is the route I went because it’s more accessible in my opinion and less expensive. BUT, it can take longer (depends on the dog), and if you’re not willing to be patient or learn how to train a dog, then it can be draining for you.

Getting a dog from an organization can be good; however, a service dog can cost up to possibly $ 50k depending on the location. Placement with a service dog can also potentially take a few years.

A trainer training a dog you already have could also be good, as it’s cheaper than getting a dog from an organization but still more expensive than overtraining.

At the end of the day, though, it’s whatever you can afford! A service dog can also be any breed and size; there are no limits! It’s only if you need mobility tasks or possible guide tasks that a small dog is NOT recommended for.

Resources + Last minute notes

Service dogs by Xenix is a slide show made by me! Feel free to use it as much as you like! Questions and concerns can be commented or DM’d to me! However, please do not seek medical advice from me as I can’t give you any! Only things on service dogs!

Thank you for reading!

I don’t come across many people with P-DID so it would be cool to know more information about it! Like can someone have P-DID and OSDD?? (Seen someone say that). Do you guys have alter states but a lack of fronting? I’m just curious to know more!
