With OSDD- there is one distinct state (you) and any number of EP's. (OSDD-1) and the rest of DD.
Like it all matters.....we all need healing.  |
in my location those with OSDD actually heal faster. the reason being they do not have to spend years working on things like learning how to communicate with the alters (they already can communicate with the alters) they dont have to spend years developing co consciousness and working together skills (they already have this built into their system) they dont have to spend years digging and uncovering trauma memories (since there is total co consciousness everyone knows what everyone else remembers)
statistically in my location those with OSDD heal with in about 2-5 years where as people with DID it takes between 15-30 years for total healing.
here in my location also some DID do not have ANP and EP systems. and in my location with OSDD since there is no switching (which results in no amnesia ) they do not have to have an apparently normal part or emotional part. the one the alter resides with in is always the one in control.
also a person here in the USA does not have to have a dissociative disorder to have an anp and an ep. I know many people who are bipolar, schizophrenia and other physical and mental health problems but no Dissociative disorders that have ANP and EP problems as do normal non mentally disordered people in my location.
my point not everyone ...has to have... what these articles on line are saying.
I am glad though that some can relate to the information and it can give them the comfort they may need in this confusing time of trying to figure out whats going on in ones body.
