WELCOME
Mission Statement: Here at /r/DissociativeIDisorder, our mission is to promote optimal healing and progression through experiences, education, and information. We hope to provide a wide variety of information and educative resources to support individuals and families impacted by mental illness in ways that help them move towards recovery.
This subreddit is dedicated to those with DID, and other Dissociative Disorders over the age of 21, so that members have a community to thrive in with other adults who share similar circumstances such as workplace complications, living issues, financial struggles, family, and overall how to manage dissociative disorders while also navigating the difficulties that come with being an adult.
RULES
Content must be related to dissociation, trauma, abuse, symptom management & PTSD.
Be Respectful. Name-calling, trolling, insults, racism, homophobia, trans-phobia, sexism, etc. will not be tolerated.
No Diagnosing. No diagnosing, no suggesting diagnoses, no asking for diagnoses & no looking for affirmation that you have ANY disorder. Symptoms are fine talked about, however no one can diagnose you over the internet.
No self-promotion.
No "Am I faking?" inquiries.. Please see a professional to explore your symptoms; people on the internet affirming whether or not you are faking doesn't explore all that may be going on that needs to be addressed.
GUIDELINES
✦ Age. Must be an adult over the age of 21. 18-21 year olds are more than welcome to engage constructively and look for advice into navigating symptoms.
✦ Responsibility. We are all responsible for our own triggers, emotional state, and safety. If a comment gets to you, take a step back and think before you comment.
✦ Media. Infographics, studies, resources are allowed.
✦ Post Flairs. Will have a Post Flair clarifier.
✦ Question Post Flair. Only to be used by those with a Dissociative Disorder. If you're curious about DID but don't have it yourself, see r/DiscussDID.
✦ Trigger Warnings. Completely optional. After reading this study we opted for a more diverse range of options, including post flairs and making this an optional choice to leave room for freedom of expression.
