It Gets Like A Prison in the Body I'm Living In

Prompts: Insomnia, "it gets like a prison in the body I'm living in".

Written as a partial vent. Our system is currently undiagnosed, but we're in the process of seeking one. Please forgive me if anything sounds like it's romanticising, incorrect or misrepresenting DID/multiplicity in any way, shape or form - this isn't my intent at all and I do not wish to offend.


These are personal aspects of my own identity, used to cope with trauma. I do not wish them to be referred to as "characters" or "OCs". Please respect these wishes when commenting, thank you.

    -sighs- I can certainly sympathize with this. Thank you for sharing your experiences.

      !!! Thank you! It does get hard some days, yeah, but after a while you learn to find outlets.

        It's just interesting to see the similarities in your experiences with multiplicity compared to my own. It's still very different, but I think everyone is familiar with those late night conversations, and that wrenching feeling of wrongness at some point...

          OH WOW YOU TOO? I thought you were just talking about the dysphoria. What a coincidence, huh?!

            It's not something I like to advertise, so I don't get to talk about it much, but feel free to shoot a message my way sometime if you guys ever want to chat with about experiences!

              I can understand that - there's a lot of stigma about multiplicity, especially given the reputation it's been given over places like tumblr and the various romanticisations that media likes to portray.
