I have DID and one very emotionally abuse boyfriend… I love him but sometimes my demonic alter wants to front to make him scared for his life but I can’t do it cause I’m so tired of fighting the same constant wave of shit… I’m so tired and alone… I kinda wanna die. ;-; I have no one to talk to, Sorry for being a bother.

im not v good at advice but like. if you’re with “one very emotionally abusive boyfriend” it’s p clear that you should leave this dude. the demonic alter isn’t particularly bad for wanting to scare someone they see as a danger

someone: reblogs my post and has a huge comment in another language

me: fucking superb you funky little german

Hi! I am a singlet with a question. How does the whole “ages 6-9” thing work? Is that the only time you can form alters, or is that just the time frame you have to experience trauma in? If it is the time frame, how are you able to form alters after?

the 6-9 age gap means that you cannot get DID any time after 6 to 9 years old. this means the trauma that formed said system had to have happened under 10 years old, but once you have it, you can keep splitting when you’re older.

this is because once you split one time from the initial trauma, you can keep splitting into more alters because you already have DID and it’s something that continues to happen. you can form new alters at any time in your life if you already have DID, if you have a stressful enough event cause you to do so– you just can’t get DID from trauma that happened if it was after 9 years old (i have heard in EXTREME cases it has happened a little bit older, though i haven’t seen this sourced anywhere)
