#did
I had forgotten how important it is to follow #tags in #diaspora. When I joined diap.org, I got a huge welcome and I immediately found many of the people I used to follow on my other instances. I was, however, curious as to why my stream was not as interesting as I was used to when I had my old account. The it hit me: I hadn't followed the tags I am interested in! I spent some time adding the basic ones, and oh boy does it make a difference! I am now seeing the stuff I am truly interested in.
So this is a reminder to all of you: Remember to follow the tags you are interested in, and remember to properly tag your posts! And I emphasize the "properly" part. I wanted to find posts on Dissociative Identity Disorder (#did) and all I found was posts that tag the auxiliary #did in posts like "#Did you know that [insert boring fact]".
I have been falling into the rabbit hole of Dissociative Personality Disorder. Someone I know told me they have it, which prompted me to start doing a lot of research on the topic. It turns out the DSM-5 doesn't recognize it as a condition on its own (meaning, it can be explained by other existing pathologies) but from what I've been reading, it clearly is a phenomenon with very unique characteristics, as well as a lot of co-morbid symptoms shared with other dissociative disorders.
I was just curious if anyone here has had any experience, personal, vicarious or through scientific research, with #DID or dissociation in general. I am curious and would love to hear your stories about this.
