The non-parts-focused ask meme can be found here.
How do you experience DID? Do you find your symptoms manifest more physically, emotionally, mentally, etc?
I find our symptoms manifest pretty evenly all around—physically, mentally, and emotionally. For this answer, though, I want to talk specifically about how our (suspected) DID manifests physically.
We do occasionally feel headaches, but a more common symptom we feel is less of an ache and more of a pressure in our head. It isn't necessarily painful, but it is a bit uncomfortable. Usually, this feeling happens when we're especially dissociated or feeling mentally crowded. As for other physical traits that aren't necessarily "symptoms," we have pretty significant vocal fluctuations depending on our fronters (to the point our partner can notice a switch far before we do just based on our voice). That's honestly one of my favorite things to share lol.
While the ask meme itself isn't parts-focused, I do want to share some physical differences we have noticed depending on who is fronting, because it really is fascinating:
(Not like you could do an ask meme wrong when it's literally just for your own blog ← saying this because I'm insane and need to reassure myself for every possible action I make)
We're right-handed, but someone in the system is left-hand-dominant.
One of us is missing an eye in headspace. Whenever he fronts, my depth perception is totally fucked up. He's absolute shit at parking btw.
For someone with practically no vocal training (we did one year of choir in like middle school), one of us has an impressive amount of vocal control when singing. I don't think our singing voice is bad normally, but his is noticeably controlled.
I love system infodumping lol
