Oh no, some scientists studied a common phenomonon and gave it a big-wordy name! Next they’ll probably study the root causes and test hypotheses for treatment under scientifically rigorous conditions! Oh the horror! Why, in my day, we just whacked the kid with a wooden spoon so they’d eat their four servings of dairy and fruit juice and go get a job they don’t deserve to be paid for.
You mean the sub where 99% of the time they’re either bullying people with real disorders or actual children. Yeah such a cool place full of normal people.
People with DID can have any number of alters. Jeni Hayes had ~2500. Don’t assume something doesn’t happen just because you’ve only heard about it happening from TikTok.
Well others do. On that sub. So. Cool crowd to hang out with.
Also just. People with ACTUAL disorders get harassed by people on that sub. Basically what it does is it sends hatemobs at disabled people or people with mental health challenges, or literal children.
Just so they can feel better about themselves collectively. It’s deranged. Some real gamergate shit
I don’t think anyone who appears in that sub is medically diagnosed. In fact quite the opposite - most seem to brag about self-diagnosis and being dropped by medical professionals after arguments.
For one, self diagnosis can legitimately help people who do not have access to medical professionals for reasons beyond their control. Be it financial, distance from professionals, etc
There is a case to be made for self diagnosis.
Second, again until the ends of time I will have to repeat this because you’re stubborn and refuse to read or understand
This sub is bullying people with actual mental health issues and/or children. These are (mostly) adults going out of their way to bully people who are, more often than not, already vulnerable.
So anyone advocating FOR the sub and that does include you needs to take a hard look at themselves. One question. Seriously dude?
No, I never saw that sub when I was over there, but I’d wager my comment would apply equally well to anything posted there. These kids today with their words for problems we ignored.
ARFID is a very real phenomenon that is staggeringly common, and yet we have very little information on the causes or fixes for it. Treating it like the kid is just being “picky” leads to food avoidance, binge eating, obesity, and eating disorders. “Just stop being picky” didn’t work, and was a criminal neglect of duty of care among parents and doctors.
Look - I’ve been diagnosed with BPD but the people on that sub claim to have DID and be a “system” with over 1000 personalities. Those personalities, funnily enough, are anime characters fro the latest animes they watched.

Sounds like a lot of words just to say someone doesn’t like certain foods.
I see your point but have you ever visited fakedisordercringe on Reddit? Because that’s a result of pathologising everything.

You think the 14yo claiming to be a “system” of 1000 identities is really suffering DID? Really?
People with DID can have any number of alters. Jeni Hayes had ~2500. Don’t assume something doesn’t happen just because you’ve only heard about it happening from TikTok.
Aaah yes, so that means all these SELF-diagnosed people who claim to have 2000 alters are all 100% real.
All the quirky little acts they do for the camera aren’t an act!! They really DO become their favourite anime characters!!
Some even post clips of their sob stories trying to get diagnosed and being let go by the doctor/therapist.
You think it’s ok to bully a kid about it
Of course not. I find the sub fascinating and funny but I think they’re fakers.
However, I wouldn’t comment or seek them out to make fun of them.
That’s great

You really think they’re real?
