What do osdd, alter and in-system mean?

classybattery@sh.itjust.works · 0 pts · 1y (2 replies)

osdd is a disorder called “Other Specified Dissociative Disorder”, this disorder forms alters, basically different parts of the brain that form independently and become different parts called alters, i believe. all the alters working together collectively are called a system, and within that group (or system) would be in-system

So you are dating another part of your brain/mind. How do you make sure this is what your alter actually wants and it's not the "main" (if there's such a thing) alter, you, who forced or imagined it?

How did the diagnosis process work? How did your doctor assess you to make the diagnosis? Do you take meds for it?

We do not take medication, we told our psychiatrist what we have been experiencing and she went into researching a condition she heard of: DID or OSDD. She said it aligned with OSDD, read the signs from the DSM I think.
