Introducing Ourselves
Hello, everyone!
We are The Dolorifuge System, and we'd love to introduce ourselves!
We suffer from Dissociative Identity Disorder, formerly known as Multiple Personality Disorder. In other words, we are a DID system of about 12 alters/personalities.
Our three "main" (host) alters are ***, Wade, and TJ.
*** is 21 and full of ideas - he likes activism and organizing. Wade is a Deadpool fictive, meaning he is formed from our idea of Deadpool, and is just like him in almost every way! Similarly, TJ is a Crypto (Apex Legends) fictive. Wade and TJ are just about the only fictives in our system, and they are hosts! That's crazy, right?
We joined 7 Cups to reach out to community in hopes of getting to know ourselves better and assisting with the isolation that comes with our disorder.
Feel free to ask any questions you may have!
Nice to meet you all!
@TheDolorifugeSystem Hello and welcome to the community! 😊 I love that you’re here to reach out and connect, especially in seeking to understand yourselves better and alleviate some of the isolation that can come with DID.
Wishing you all the best as you continue on your journey💛
Welcome! We’re glad to have you <3
I’m curious… What was the censored word? <3
It is nice to see more people wanting to talk about their dissociative disorders, DID in particular, because there is so much misinformation, and of course that information has led to stigma. Popular and social media have made it look so much different than it really is. We've seen the classic "Sybil" characters. Then there is are the characters that have DID as part of their evil personality. You also have people out here cosplaying DID like it's very cute or quirky. So average person thinks, DID? You're scary or faking it. Mental illness so so stigmatized and misunderstood as it is, dissociative disorders take it a step further. People speaking up breaks up that stigma. I'm very glad you are here. :)
forgot to say this is from someone who has been diagnosed OSDD. :)
