ask anything about DID

so....I've been thinking.
I talked to the host of another system, one who just started trauma processing, and is scared they're going to lose their systemmates. and I asked why they were so scared about losing them, and they replied that their systemmates are their closest friends and like their family, the people who know them best, and they love them, much as they get annoyed with their systemmates sometimes, and that they don't want to lose that.
and I realized....I feel the same way. I may not know my systemmates all that well yet, but they know me inside and out, and I feel very close to them. I don't want them to go, not when I'm just getting to know them.
so....I guess my decision's made.

I got 14 (although I hate 0-10 ratings I never know if I'm scoring myself right :P)

 

sPITS
WHAT
HOW
I MEAN NOT THAT THAT'S BAD BUT?
HOW DID YOU TWO SCORE SO LOW
HOW IS EVERYONE I KNOW SCORING SO LOW I MADE ALL MY FRIENDS TAKE IT AND NO ONE'S GOTTEN OVER A 33

 

Well, based on the graph on the page, the average score is 12 or so, with the most common being 6 or 7.

 

I got 36 >_>

 

..........are you kidding me
how
HOW
HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE
HOW DO PEOPLE EXIST WHO AREN'T HAVING DISSOCIATIVE EXPERIENCES ALL THE TIME EVERY DAY I DON'T UNDERSTAND??

scribbles this down FOR SCIENCE

 

To be fair, I do have a fuckton of dissociation going on, it's just not DID.

 

well, I mean, I figured that. 36 just means dissociative experiences.
my score....probably means DID.
.......which we already knew, BUT STILL. I AM SURPRISED.

 

Well, I guess that's how these things work. :P

 

that's fair, I just wanted to provide data that it wasn't just Super Mentally Healthy Person gets randomly high score, like it can be for some tests. :P

 

51

 

yes.
it's just....weird to me, that people....don't walk around constantly dissociated every day of their lives.

aaah, okay.

okay, NOW we're getting a little closer to my score.....sort of....okay, well, not really. still....43 points off.

 

13, and to my knowledge I have never experienced any kind of dissociation.

 

well, that's interesting. I assumed everyone experiences some kind of dissociation from time to time. maybe that's not entirely true.

 

I do sometimes experience dissociation, it's just not very typical.

 

i'm really curious about what my number would be, but also worried that i'll accidentally get stuff wrong and make it so my number doesn't actually fit what's really going on in my head.

 

huh.
weird.

 

me toooooooo. :V
