What are your most noticeable physical bodily differences between your alters? like for instance my eyesight is a lot worse than the rest of the system's, and we have a little who is allergic to strawberries when no one else is!

How would you go about telling people important to you about your DID? For partners, I usually explain it very early on so that if they can’t accept it, I don’t waste our time. But I find it much more difficult to tell anyone else close in our lives. We’ve been living together for almost a year: Us, our partner, and their mom. Our partner knows, but their mom doesn’t. We love their mom. She’s helped us and has been very nice to us. We have a lot of disorders and most others we are very open in disclosing. For some reason, though, it feels so hard to find the words to explain it. She’s definitely caught on to some things. She knows if we’re acting “different”. She asked once if our pronouns were “we” because I refer to us in the plural. We don’t want to keep secrets from her anymore. We consider her part of our found family and I know being able to explain would help her understand and help out so much. I’m just constantly worried that people have a negative outlook on DID to ever say it. What things were helpful for y’all when you told someone?

How do people deal with memory loss? I forget where I am at times, and I forget family members and loved ones. I also don't remember a very large portion of my life, even recent events. It's difficult because I don't know what people are talking about when they talk about something that I did. I just smile and nod. Recently, people have come to me talking about different parts, and I, of course, don't remember switching out or anything after the fact. I'm stuck in a loop of being so disconnected from where I am and the people around me. My subconscious has decided that not knowing what's going on is the norm. I'm just wondering if there's anything I can do to try and remember things or how to cope with not knowing things. How do y'all do it?

I have recently found out that I am a system (I have DID/OSDD). It would be nice to connect with other systems that are chronically ill/disabled and are trans. c:

just a random thought on my mind, do any other systems diagnosed with DID/OSDD/etc prefer to view their multiplicity/plurality through a non-medicalized lens? we were dx. in a psych hospital, but because of many of our experiences feel like more than just disordered. we see our system as a mix of spiritual influences but also trauma based. it's helped us accepting everything about us, and im wondering if anyone else is similar ☺️

Since the end of July I've been feeling really faint. I haven't hit the ground yet but my vision goes black/blurry, my mouth gets dry, my heart pounds and I can't hear my surroundings, a few times I've forgotten where I was, and my body gets weak and I need to sit down. I have a doctor's appointment coming up and I've already brought it up with her, but I'm not anemic, and none of the results from my blood test were concerning. I've googled "why do I feel like fainting when I raise my arms above my chest" to try and get an idea of what questions I can ask my doctor and PoTS was one of the results. I don't think I have it but I think when they screen for pots, they look for other conditions that mimic the symptoms. would it be worthwhile to ask my doctor about that? what are some other questions I can line up? are there any questions I need to ask myself about my symptoms that would make my doctor's job easier? (background information that may or may not impact the above information) the first time I brought the issue up, we also decided to talk to my therapist about my symptoms possibly being the result of non epileptic dissociative seizures after my friend described seeing me shaking and sweating during one outside of our local mall as looking almost like a seizure. (I've tagged DID because it's the only disorder I have, that I know of, that may be impacting this)
