Y’ever read something and have understanding that has eluded you interminably suddenly stop, curl up, and snuggle neatly into a fold in your brain because a new way way opened to it?
SHE SAID. BITCH.
i always, always, ALWAYS immediately go "what do you mean?"
because then they have to explain what they mean and what they're asking for and usually
the explanation makes them embarrassed or confused enough to stop asking :)
Some funny/less paltable things you can say when people invasively ask why you have a mobility aid!
"It's a weapon."
Ignore them
Something dramatic like "Oh I was attacked by a shark" or "I got caught in a zombie apocalypse"
"It's to spice up my outfit"
"I tried to build an army of insert favorite animal and they turned on me :("
"What insert mobility aid?"
"Why do you have an insert mobility aid?"
"Why do you not have an insert mobility aid"
"Do I know you?"
"Yeah I guess I just couldn't wait for my 60s"
RB/comment your go-to when somebody asks about your mobility aid!
telling singlet friends about your DID who didn't know about it when you met is so weird to explain. like.
"right, so, you know me as Cameron. I went by that name for years, and everyone in the system goes by Cameron, but technically, I'm not Cameron at all and Cameron doesn't actually exist. Cameron was the previous host, who later changed his name to Juno. also I'm Phoenix, a fusion of the previous host and someone else, so I'm partly Cameron, but not really".
how the fuck do you phrase that.
Just so we're clear.
Fictives are not a sign of faking.
Quiet/Loud switches are not a sign of faking.
Large systems are not a sign of faking.
Switching a lot is not a sign of faking.
Not switching much is not a sign of faking.
Emotional amnesia is still amnesia.
Don't force people to address trauma they may not even remember.
Don't force people to remember trauma.
Childhood traumas don't have to be what an adult would consider extreme. Kids are a lot more sensitive to stimuli and cruelty.
And some systems have done fucked up shit in their childhoods, it's not their fault they had to survive.
Be kind, people need it.
I CCAN'T BREATHE
SUMMER
I can't explain how much I love baguette child. I would protect them with my life.
That DID vibe when you're filled with rage and anxiety and you feel like you're about to fucking snap and then suddenly your thoughts aren't coming through clearly and you feel like you can't move (even tho you CAN) and then.... Calm. Serenity. Indifference. Neutral. You no longer know what you were about to say, or why you felt so angry and anxious. Then you're like "Oh. I switched."
"Stop saying 15 year olds with weird interests are cringe, they're 15" this is true however you should also stop saying adults with weird interests are cringe because who gives a shit
