    Look - I’ve been diagnosed with BPD but the people on that sub claim to have DID and be a “system” with over 1000 personalities. Those personalities, funnily enough, are anime characters fro the latest animes they watched.

    You really think they’re real?

      I don’t know anything about that. I know there are people who pretend to have disorders, in fact it’s a disorder itself: Munchausen syndrome. But just because people fake an illness does not mean that the illness doesn’t exist, or that nobody has it.

        I’m sure DID does exist. However, I think people with a genuine diagnosis don’t waste time taking video of themselves slipping into an alter for the camera.

        Funny how I’ve never seen videos of schizophrenics losing their shit? Maybe cos mental illness isn’t a fucking fashion statement you pick yourself and make quirky videos about.
