How to feel real/like me again? (Tw: descriptions of disassociation and me freaking out, this could be seen as a vent idk lol)
Welcome to r/OSDD, a community for those affected by otherwise specified dissociative disorder. There are 4 types of OSDD, but the most common is OSDD-1 which is similar to DID. In OSDD-1, severe childhood trauma causes different identities, known as alternate states of consciousness (alters) to form. These alters protect the main identity from awareness of trauma. A body with multiple identities is known as a system. While this disorder is hard to live with, we often lead fulfilling lives.
