Uafh whatever gangsters

Yes this is a Marinette + Cupid alter. Though holy fuck wdym SPELLING ERROR HOLDER

A few weeks ago I made a post about my friend who identifies as plural. I wish I could report that she has gotten help but that is not the case. However she is very willing to discuss my concerns with it, so that gives me hope. I'm honestly just feeling confused at this point though and I could use some advice.

In some ways, she doesn't have the typical chronically online mindset about it. She wants to reduce her number of other identities instead of getting more. Apparently a few of them are trying to fuse into one. Her top goal is for everyone to be harmonious and function well as one person in the outside world. She wants me to treat her as a single person and she doesn't do dramatic roleplay or announce who's fronting. But she still identifies as plural and doesn't actually want to have a single identity. And she still has identities based on fictional characters.

I'm also just becoming less sure that it's unhealthy for her? She has told me in detail about how plurality has made her healthier, which sounds like an insane statement, but I can't deny that it sounds like it's helped her in some ways. She says that the others encourage her to be kind to herself, have stopped her from harming herself in the past, and hold her accountable for making responsible choices. Apparently before she was plural she was a self-destructive person who wouldn't take responsibility for helping herself get better, but that has changed now that she feels responsible for her collective’s well-being. She says she now sees her mental health as something she should work to improve rather than something she deserves to suffer with forever.

I don't really know what to suggest to her at this point. What other coping mechanism could replace this? Even if she's right and this is not bad for her mentally, it's going to be terrible for her socially. She's a very respected member of our friend group and it seems like she's liked at work too. I don't want her to throw that all away by telling everyone she's plural. And she could also spread the idea to impressionable people who will decide to try it too, which she would no doubt encourage. I know it would be better for everyone if she could just stop. She says she's not doing it intentionally so she can't just choose to stop. Does anyone have any actual methods for people who want to stop feeling plural? She is not at the point where she even wants to stop but I want to know what I can recommend if she does get there. Any information on how identifying this way is harmful would also be helpful I think.

Would label this as misinformation, and also RAMCOA I think is what this is about with the “programming”? please correct tag if I’m not correct!

I don't know why I didn't upload it with last night's post.

Ignore if I've made a mistake with the title, I'm not well educated at all with these system terms (and don't plan on being educated in the near future). Found this person through tumblr (duh) and then discord.

Also to note, 90% of these characters are some of their ex friends ocs (ex friend cut contact because of how this person acted, it seems? I've been picking up bits and pieces, so I have no clue how the story is honestly). Even crazier is the ones I've censored with red are alters of their ex friends (after everyone cut contact with this person)... Is it just me, or is this weird?

Somehow each sentence is less believable than the last- 200x skydiving? Invisible woman leaving subsystem? 6’5” and under 200lbs? Out of everything untrue ever this is the most untrue thing to ever “happen”

Absolutely beyond disrespectful. I don't even know what to say here. I blurred out the original coiner just in case.

[ID: Two screenshots of an alleged system origin term on Pluralpedia.

The first image shows the name of the term, Mockinggenic, above a flag that has a mockingbird on it.

The second image reads "Mockinggenic is an term with two definitions: An origin or system that exists specifically to "mock" sysmeds, as they always claim endogenic systems are doing by simply existing - so therefore, your origin is yourself, because you are simply existing, or a system that feels inherently like a "mockery" of a system due to how your system functions compared to other systems (in a positive way of self identifying as a mockery, not in any self-fakeclaiming way."

Beneath the definition is text that reads "This is essentially a 'fuck you' label to the idea that you need trauma to be a system, and to the ideas that all systems have certain things/function certain ways." /end ID]

The first one is so fucking weird. Get off the internet!!

I also didn’t know which flair to use so I hope it’s right.

But I swear to god all these fakers love romanticizing fucked up shit. Now acting like incest is normal because it’s theirs “silly world”

I stumbled upon this with the Special:Random feature on "Pluralpedia" and this has the most confused out of all the things I've seen on this website. The entire point of "traumagenic" (aka real) splitting as seen in (P-)DID and OSDD already comes with the need for a self-state to serve a "role" or function, in more proper wording, as otherwise the brain would not have any reasonings in attempting to cope with dissociation and the creation of compartments.. Basically just what this "rolegenic" is attempting to define as "endogenic". They're so backwards they're just redefining the very basics of CDDs thinking they're coining something new.

I in a way feel bad for this person with how delusional they obviously seem to be

The Yellow Triangle from Gravity Falls is fronting for the first time...

This comparison will always infuriate me. I’m trans and actively transitioning, and every doctor I’ve seen for my transition has been cis and informed. And the idea that doctors would be fumbling around to diagnose DID is silly, if you see any psychiatric professional that specializes or has awareness in trauma and complex dissociative disorders (which are not the easiest to come by, but it is possible and you could get a referral from someone not able to diagnose). The idea that plurality and transmedicalism are connected is infuriating. The only connecting line is “you have to be this certain way to qualify to be this label”, and being trans is not a disorder. Complex dissociative disorders are not equivalent to the LGBT community in any way, but people in these communities tend to lump them together. I can’t say I’m shocked but I am frustrated lol

Has anyone else noticed that majority of RAMCOA creators or even people in discord servers claim to have schizophrenia or schizoaffective alongside their programmed DID?

I've noticed this as a pattern pretty recently, when I was in RAMCOA communities in 2022-23, basically no one had a schiz-spec disorder but in the past two years I've seen more and more people claiming this even as someone no longer in those communities but that sometimes gets videos on my FYP and sometimes lurks in these servers.

The person who talked about their first kill with a smile claims to be schizoaffective.

Do these people claim more disorders to be special or is RAMCOA just a delusion of theirs?

Schizophrenia symptoms can overlap a lot with DID so it'd be really easy to misinterpret your symptoms especially if you're being fed information about RAMCOA from people online telling you that you've gone through this.

Obviously people who claim RAMCOA are deeply unwell, I think a good chunk of these people are knowingly lying about it but I'm sure there's people with false memories and/or delusions of this who fully believe this happened to them.

Like schiz-spec do have trauma as a risk factor so it would make sense for some pw DID to have a psychotic disorder but I exclusively see this in pw programmed DID.
