I know people who truly do suffer from DID and see first-hand the the impact it has on their life. I care about them so incredibly dearly.
They have also expressed to me a growing frustration with false representatives of DID online. It's causing a very *real* issue with with psychiatrists who specialise in DID assistance/research. I'm mad on my friends' behalf; I don't care about any random individual who has incorrectly associated themselves as being a DID sufferer ^^^ as I mention in the original post I understand why people do so and this is something I'm sympathetic of. A single person who is trying to understand and comprehend their psychological issues is faced with so many difficulties: lack of appropriate mental health care, unsupportive environments, social stigmas. This leads to people trying to diagnose themselves and, sometimes, getting it wrong. In this way, the game here is directly unhelpful to them. It leads people to incorrect conclusions of themselves by misrepresenting DID. This leads to clogs in the system for DID psych specialists (the waitlists are so long already!) and problems with research into DID healthcare.
It is, unintentionally but practically, doing some degree of harm to people, both DID sufferers and sufferers of other mental health issues + neurodivergent people. This is why I'm mad at this game, and not at random individuals. I care about my friends and the problems that impact them.
I really do hope you're able to one day (hopefully soon!) access the mental health care that you deserve. I've been really lucky to find an excellent team of professionals+loved ones, I and believe everybody deserves the same quality of care. All the best to you.
