Dealing with Misunderstanding of D.I.D.

I have d.i.d. and I'm struggling to find those who can understand

Every time someone doesn't accept that we have it, we block them and cut them off completely. Luckily we've met singlets that accept it, it's just a little hard to explain to most in a way that can be easily understood. Especially fictives and such, those can be very hard to explain to people 😥

My family doesn’t except me so we just mask and pretend we don’t have it. My mom was like I can’t believe you because you don’t act different. So we are now trying to be more open.

yeah. no yeah completely. we’re out to a couple of people which is great, but at the same time it feels like they’re so scared to ask questions about it. like please, ask question about us and who we are. ask who is fronting and what name we want to be called. we would love to be able to live openly and talk about those of us and be able to go by different names and everything. masking as a singlet is tiring and we dont even do that good of a job lol. we’ve just kind of accepted that this is where we are and where we have to be for safety purposes. it isn’t safe for us to talk about stuff like that especially because we haven’t been fake claimed and really don’t want to be. it’s frustrating how taboo these symptoms can be

As far as not understanding I’m willing to answer questions people have and put together resources for them to learn. As far as acceptance sometimes you just have to give people time to come around. It can be a hard thing for people to process and accept even though it’s even harder for us to live with.
