this entire subject is making me question if I also have it cuz I actually thought this was normal for everyone??

Same here

spearmint how do we tell if I have it???i am confusion please send help

hello system here
do you ever like black out? like you're doing something, then you feel really tired, and next thing you know, you're in a different place? like you were doing yardwork but now you're in the living room?

sup system
occasionally, yeah.
Sometimes I end up walking around for no reason and become very aware of what I'm doing after a minute or two.
Other times I feel like I have options to choose, like a game almost, about what to say and which reaction to have to situations.
Then there's the thing that happens when I'm talking to myself, I refer to myself as "we/us" for almost no reason but it doesn't feel weird for me to talk to myself like that.

Sorry to bother you but I am a bit concerned….

WAIT WAIT WAIT IS IT NOT NORMAL TO SUBCONSIOUSLY USE THE ROYAL 'WE'???

maybe? i think it might be a osdd-type thing. no two systems are the same, i'd look into it.

@TeamMezzo group

I'll do a bit of research and digging then to try to figure it out.
System, do you recommend articles or videos for accurate information?

Gonna lowkey stalk this even though I don't think I have it??

Idk if this is relevant, but does anyone else have that tiny whisper in the back of your head that tells you to do the dumbest stuff? Like I'll be downstairs and it'll be like "You should touch the heater. Nice and warm." and I'm like "No, Brain, it'll be hot." and then it's like "But WaRm!!"

This is called maladaptive thoughts and its a symptom of severe anxiety.
I have this. It can evolve into maladaptive daydreaming and eventually a full blown disorder.

Edit: This isn't considered a harmful mental disorder until you start acting on the thoughts. Most people with incredibly high IQs have this. It's seen as a way of making the world more complex and interesting so the brain doesn't get bored. (Says my therapist)

I would usually say no, but I just blacked out in the middle of theatre practice but my friend said I was still conscious and not knocked out.

Oh. Well, that explains a lot about me.
Thank you, Eris!

it's just kinda screwed up ig

no but sometimes i feel like i'm disconnected from my body and see things in different places
almost like a vision
i remember a really vivid one ahh this is low-key random but i saw a hamburger that was really oddly shaped and then the next day we went to my friends birthday party/cookout and i saw the SAME EXACT HAMBURGER and was super freaked out

you might have something that i can't remember the name of but dodie has it so look at her channel there's the name there

okay
it's

SO

weird
but also like a superpower at the same time

It's called disassociative identity disorder. I have some symptoms of it, it's really strange

cool! let us know if you have questions/concerns with DID; we get it

@starry

mostly its cool to see other people with this experience, you dont find a whole lot of folks who relate. just so everyone knows- its me, cae, fronting unless i say otherwise. im the host and mostly the others let me live my life. these days they (mostly miriam- i'm putting some of them in my 'characters' just to keep them straight) keep me safe and healthy when i'm having a breakdown or something.

got it! pronouns?

@starry

ahh thank you! it's not a name i go by anymore, but it's the nickname for an old name, caelus. i have the tendency to switch names a few times a year, just whenever the old one stops feeling right. now, i go by micah, but it's short for micaiah so i brought back cae as a nickname.
