You seem very keen on not offending people with DID or schizophrenia, but wtf. Could you imagine someone suffering with auditory hallucinations telling them day after day they're worthless seeing shit like "it's okay to have multiplicity blah blah it's natural and healthy blah blah"
iām sorry but i really donāt understand what youāre trying to say.
one, you say iām keen on not offending people with DID/DDNOS or schizophrenia, and youāre phrasing as if iām not one of those people who have DID. which i am.Ā
two, DID/DDNOS and schizophrenia are not the same and shouldnāt be conflated the way it seems you are attempting to. DID is the presence of multiple alters/people/minds in one body. auditory hallucinations are not inherent in DID/DDNOS. also, multiplicity has nothing to do with schizophrenia.
three, i have never said that multiplicity is natural, nor have i ever made the claim that it is healthy. multiplicity is the result of DID, DDNOS and occasionally BPD or other identity disorders. however, being a system is not inherently harmful; some systems function perfectly well and even improve the lives of those in the system. yes, some systems have harmful members, but i do not see why you are implying that if you are multiple you must see it as a bad thing.
four, again, multiplicity has nothing to do with schizophrenia. people with schizophrenia do not have separate alters (unless they also have DID/DDNOS.) they DO suffer from auditory hallucinations, and it is a serious condition that i am in no way trying to speak on or over, as i have no experience with schizophrenia other than what i have learned in my college psych classes and by talking to my friend who is schizophrenic.Ā i myself am most likely schizoaffective according to a therapist i used to see, though i still don't feel i have a right to speak on schizophrenia so i'll leave it at this.
i really donāt understand where this message came from/ i have never made the claim that multiplicity is natural or healthy? (though it is not inherently unhealthy.) why did you send me this? iām honestly curious. have i said something that offended you?
