User blog:LunaDiviner7/An Explanation of Mental Health

Hello once again. I feel there are more issues regarding myself that deserve an explanation.

Something I failed to mention when I returned was another mental issue: I have some sort of dissociative disorder, and at this point, I am not alone in my head. Instead, I share it with many, many other people, most of whom actually come from fictional media that helps me cope through bad episodes of mental health. I believe this stems from emotional abuse at home as well as years of bullying in school.

I believe what I have is indeed Dissociative Identity Disorder, although I have been reluctant to talk to professionals about it. I am afraid of the stigma behind such a disorder, as well as misinformation about the issues of DID.

Continuing from the DID thing, this is actually not Luna (who now only goes by Alois as a name, though he accepts Luna here, and uses he/him and they/them pronouns). Currently, this is Marluxia, one of the many alters who comes from fictional media (a fictive). Do not worry about him, he is alright. I just took control late last night and haven't left the front as it's called. There are many more of us here in what's known as headspace, and we can each take over as needed. Each of us have different names, personalities, appearances, and many other factors. You are free to talk to any of us about any questions you may have.

At some point, we will make a list of all of the alters in the system. In chat, we will specify who is speaking and what our pronouns are. Example:


 * Hello, I'm Marluxia and I use he/him and they/them pronouns.

If you have any further questions, you are free to ask us.

--Marluxia

EDIT: Turns out we don't have enough amnesia to qualify for DID. Instead, we think what we have is Other Specified Dissociative Disorder 1b, which is basically DID but with less/no amnesia.

Also! We have a list of all current members of the system here, and it will be updated if more fragments form into alters!

You are currently speaking to Iris! My pronouns are she/her, and I like to call myself the lesbian space princess of dragons!!!!!!
