Edit 2/1/2023: A new small guideline that has been added to the rules- please include direct links to profiles, especially if the user in question is being shady, since they go 'invisible' when FR locks/bans them.

(It's not mandatory, but it helps folks get those juicy details.)

Ngl, I'm so glad they've been banned.

They were really toxic representation of people who have DID/OSDD, and as someone who has OSDD and still doesn't have a million accounts for my alters/headmates, I'm glad they're gone because they make a legit condition look so bad.

Good riddance.

What's OSDD?

Re: PrinceEridan/MoodyMrGemini

Nayrt
Other specified dissociative disorder

What the other anon said. Basically I have a DD but it doesn't meet all the criteria of DID. If that makes sense.

Re: PrinceEridan/MoodyMrGemini

[(Anonymous)]

No, it doesn't. What's the difference in the criteria? Like you have alters but you don't have DID?

Re: PrinceEridan/MoodyMrGemini

Different anon, but OSDD is still a dissociative disorder- it's basically "The individual has alters, and dissociates, but doesn't have ALL the symptoms of DID."

Per the DID Research project:

"OSDD-1 is the subtype that is most similar to dissociative identity disorder (DID). It is used for individuals who have similar symptoms to those with DID but who do not meet the full diagnostic criteria for DID. Most commonly, this describes individuals who have dissociative parts that are not sufficiently differentiated to qualify as alters (sometimes known as OSDD-1a) or individuals who do not have amnesia between alters (sometimes known as OSDD-1b). Some individuals with OSDD-1 lack both amnesia and highly distinct parts, and other individuals with OSDD-1 have highly distinct parts but rarely or never switch between them. These latter cases are also sometimes described as OSDD-1b."

Dissociative Disorders are variable, usually due to the variable nature of the origins. (Especially when factoring in the variable nature of trauma, which is one of the main sources of DD's.)

Why do so many people on FR have DID or alters? I thought it was a really rare condition that affects like 1 in 1 million people

Re: PrinceEridan/MoodyMrGemini

[(Anonymous)]

Do many people of FR have DID or do many people on FR claim to have DID?

Also, that "1 in a million" is a statistical thing - you can have 1 person in a random selection of a million but players of a certain game is not necessarily a random selection if something in it just vibes with them.

Re: PrinceEridan/MoodyMrGemini

This.

Also, keep in mind, a LOT of the FR playerbase is under the age of 25, and not to dismiss claims of DID/OSDD, but sometimes younger folks, especially teenagers, tend to misinterpret an overactive imagination.

The catch is, a lot of mental illnesses don't get diagnosed officially, so the real numbers could be higher but we never know because they're too scared to get help.

But I'm going with some of it being teens through young adults self-diagnosing in this case.

Re: PrinceEridan/MoodyMrGemini

Not to mention that 9 times out of 10, diagnosis and therapy for dissociative disorders usually recommend taking antipsychotics (Which aren't always recommended for DID/OSDD, and can make you lethargic to the point of sleeping 20 hours a day- personal experience) or they recommend integration, which can be even more traumatic than the original trauma that caused the DID/OSDD.

I'll be honest, I don't know enough about this particular mental issue. I know depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder.

Which tend to be treatable much easier than this sounds.

I can see a lot more hiding it until they can't anymore if that's how it's being handled.

Thank you for the information.
