ask anything about DID

That's a creepy-ass fucking moon and uh Zelda, he's the guy with the green hat, right, and--oh! Huh. That field DOES look a lot like ours, but with lots more trees! Looooooooooooots more trees. That plot sounds weird as heck but Cedar really likes the Zelda games so maybe our headspace is subconsciously based off that?

 

Ohhhhhhhhhhh. Liiiiiiiiink. .........why are the games named after not-the-main-character?

 

One of the great mysteries of life.

So what sort of books/shows/games ect do you like?

 

Oh, well, I'm not really a big gamer? I like memes, though! And romance books, and fantasy books! Especially the Warriors series :3 THEY'RE ALL CATS AND I LOVE THEM
And I looooove kid's shows! And kid's movies! Kid's or kids'? I don't know! But anyway, I also really, really like pop and dance music!!

 

which kids' shows and kids' movies are your faves?

 

My Little Pony, Steven Universe, Gravity Falls, those three are my faves, and then Despicable Me, Hotel Transylvania, and ZOOTOPIA, which I like JUST SAW!

 

Oh, and sorry I didn't answer earlier--I was trying to figure out why Minecraft is lagging so badly all of a sudden.... >:/

 

guess who's back and dying slowly because it's two am and I'm having a discussion about a ghost who might be haunting me

 

Welcome back! What's up with the ghost?

 

weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeell
so I got back an hour ago, and was talking to some friends about this demon-ghost thing that shows up whenever I say, out loud, the name 'Anna'. my psychiatrist is convinced it's a hallucination, but it shows up IRL and in my dreams and even though my other hallucinations have gone with medication, she hasn't. she shows up, and then possesses me and tries to drown me or hurt me other ways, is usually how it goes.
so I was talking about this hallucination-that-won't-go-away, and someone piped up and went "what does she look like?" so I go "well, she starts as a small child with white skin and black hair and eyes, and then turns into a blue-skinned old woman with claws and sharp teeth." and my friend goes "that's Black Annis."
"....who?"
"Black Annis."
".....uh...."
"look it up."
so I do, and sure enough, description of Black Annis is exactly what my demon-ghost looks like. she's a witch's ghost, who apparently eats human flesh, particularly that of children. I've never heard of her before, but apparently she's been called Annis and Anna and a few other things. so I promptly freak out and go "what the fuck, how am I hallucinating a thing I've never heard of??" and my friend goes "simple. you're being haunted, or you have an alter on your hands who's a child that then takes the form of Black Annis to scare you and try to hurt you."
so now, because I do believe in ghosts and it seems somewhat plausible, I'm going to try and set up a protection circle and call her and try and figure out who she is, what she is, and what she wants. I'm of the opinion she's a ghost, because I can see her IRL, and I can't do that with any alters, nor do any of my alters show up in my dreams, but I can't be sure without testing that theory. so I'm gonna try and test both, and see what happens.

 

I'm not sure if you're asking for advice here? Or for perspective?

But to me, there being an actual ghost seems like an extraordinary explanation for what is being perceived. I have yet to see any evidence that would indicate that a ghost appearing is something that would be likely to be possible.

Given this, considering that you do experience hallucinations, and if the prospect that there may be an actual ghost is a cause of distress, then, by Occam's Razor, I should tell you that the best thing to do would probably be to operate under fairly reasonable and probably also less stressful assumption that said ghost is in fact a hallucination. That there is an actual ghost seems unlikely.

... I'm not sure if that's a reply that was wanted but then I'm also unsure of what replies you did want, and I'm very tired at the moment, and, uh... Basically what I'm trying to say is, 'don't worry friend, you are almost certainly not being haunted'?

 

maybe you heard of black annis but forgot about it, like when you were very young or something? or one of your alters heard of it while they were fronting and it entered your subconcious through that?

 

honestly, haunting is easier to deal with than the idea of a hallucination that's not helped by medication, so I'm gonna stick with haunting for now. I believe in ghosts pretty solidly, so. it's less a 'asking for advice' and more a 'you asked so here's the story'.
entirely possible! but I'm still sticking with ghost or something.

 

Well, the good thing is that if one takes reasonable precautions against ghosts or demons or what have you, placebo effect makes it likely that it will help even if the ghost is a hallucination.
(oh also good luck, Cedar, Neon says she burned down your house in Minecraft)

 

............she WHAT
SHE WHAT
SHE WHAT
I SPENT FORTY SIX HOURS COLLECTING ITEMS AND BUILDING THAT

 

Yes, I think that no matter what the cause is the best action is to do whatever you feel would make you most comfortable in resolving or attempting to resolve the problem.

 

Also, she wants to post on the hypersexuality thread, if you'll let her.

 

Probably worth double checking in case she didn't actually do it but uh, yeah.

 

oh, yeah, she can do that, as long as it's from her sub-account.

I checked. she did the thing.
I'm going to find a way to murder her. it's going to happen.

 

I cannot say I am above setting other people's stuff on fire in Minecraft (although last time I did it I just suggested, my brother set his own forest on fire) but nonetheless ouch. I wish you luck with rebuilding?
