Oppression/Relation Hoarding Disorder, also known as ORHD, is a compulsive MUD characterized by an unstable identity and craving maximum oppression and/or relatability.

It is thought to be caused by trauma in childhood where the child would only be cared for when they were the most hurt, as well as being introduced to the concept of oppression in crucial moments of brain formation.

Risk factors:

Childhood Trauma. Being dismissed with "others have it worse". Strong curiosity. Using Fantasy as an escape mechanism.

Symptoms/Criteria:

-Patient experiences persistent, rapid changes in their identity that are not better explained by plurality or personality disorders.

-Patient wants to be things they are curious about either to be more oppressed OR to be able to understand and relate to it on a deep level.

-Patient hoards labels, particularly collecting those of people they look up to, those of characters, or those they consider oppressed.

-Patient pretends to be these identities and/or transition to them. This lasts for 1 month or longer.

Common Signs:

-Patient gets upset when faced with something they cannot relate to, when faced with the idea that they don't have something they beleived they did, or when being told that another person is more oppressed or harmed than them.

-Patient may have trouble differentiating their true trans and cis identities from the disorder.

-Patient may act stereotypical, attempting to sort their identity changes into functional categories.

-Patient may struggle with empathy or understanding how their actions can harm others.

-Patient may be misdiagnosed with fictitious disorder or HPD due to partaking in attention or care seeking actions. Can be comorbid.

-Patient may frequently talk about transIDs (particularly fluid ones) and reality shifting, but not in the same way the majority would.

-Often comorbid with ATDD.

-Much harder to diagnose in those who don't know of transIDs.

Subtypes: O-ORHD (oppression focused), R-ORHD (relatability/curiosity focused), and M-ORHD (mixed type). If a type cannot be concluded, the patient may be considered U-ORHD (unspecified)

Treatment: There is no treatment for ORHD, but there are steps you can take to manage symptoms.

Management:

-Working through the underlying trauma

-helping those with ORHD find safespaces to roleplay through the hoarded identities and where they can lie about themself without harming others.

-having patience when discussing things the person did wrong

-helping the person organize theur hoard into identities for their roleplays to limit distress.

-Creating alters to hold parts of the hoard or to hold, limit, or nullify symptoms.

-Reassurance that they do not need to have these things to be cared for or be relatable and that they can have symptoms without having a disorder (eg. One can have identity compartmentalization without plurality or DID)

I made this MUD for myself because I relate heavily to the concept of oppression olympics and other disorders do not describe it well. Almost thought i had hpd but i dont fit much if Any diagnosis criteria. Please do not call it transphobic to transIDs as it is merely a descriptor of my own experience as a person who uses transIDs due to mental issues.
