This is kind of a rant.

Out of boredom and curiosity I went on Tumblr and searched DID.It really ticked me off to see how ridiculous it is.It's obviously mostly young pre teens and teenagers that are just roleplaying because they think it's such a cool and trendy thing to do.

It ticked me off that they claim system hopping is possible,that an alter from one system can hop into another system.Or that they can do system resets and get rid of all their alters and get completely new ones.That they can have superman,Harry Potter or Spiderman as alters.And so much more total B.S.

They have no clue what they are even talking about.And it's so insulting to those that really do have DID.They are making a joke out of a serious illness,it is a mockery and it's sickening to me.

They say you can choose which alters you want inside,that you can go into someone else's body and use their body for awhile.They claim you can just become a system just because you want to.So much B.S. I can't even remember all of it right now.And of course over 90% are self diagnosed.

It's so wrong.It's degrading and humiliating for anyone with true DID.

Normally those with true DID aren't even aware until they are diagnosed
They don't normally flaunt it or act like it's cool or funny
They don't compete with others over who has the most alters
They don't system hop or system reset
They don't develop DID because Mom or Dad wouldn't let them have a new phone
They don't develop it as a teenager
They don't spend so much time and effort online trying to prove to or convince other people that they really do have it
They don't say hey guess what,I'm dissociating right now,isn't that funny?

It's just so sickening to me! And it's because of things like this that DID isn't taken seriously,why people think it's a fake disorder.

I will be so glad when some other disease or disorder becomes trendy.
