      @@AcrylicAndAether if falling down the stairs, a divorce would cause DID, lol, almost everyone would have it. Yeah, SA isn't funny, it's traumatizing, but won't cause DID. Not in the way she's describing it at least. Making minecraft innerworlds and dress up with their alters, telling every faker how VaLiD they are ugh get a life

      That was such a hard thing, because we grew up with our family telling us that we would get along eventually that family is important all while knowing we'd never want to get along with him. Im glad it helped or supported you in some way ❤ im sorry you went through that

    Thank you for sharing this. I don’t have DID but do have some trauma in my past. It’s nice to have it validated rather than feeling over dramatic or sensitive. I’m really thankful for your willingness to be present and vulnerable with your followers. We certainly aren’t entitled to hear your story-so thank you from the bottom of my heart.

    we love you guys so much. you are so valuable and you've gotten us through some really hard shit, which we'll always be thankful for. you guys helped us learn enough to ask our therapist about DID and while we haven't yet been formally diagnosed, it suddenly opened up our world and allowed us to be diagnosed with C-PTSD and begin to unearth trauma. we couldn't have done this without you. you're amazing - all of you. take care of yourselves and thank you for sharing something so personal with us. nothing but love and good vibes your way,

    You all are so strong and brave to share this with us. We are honored to be allowed to hear some of your story. Thank you for sharing what you shared.
    You are correct that no one's trauma is worse than anyone else's. The way someone experiences something is subjective, trauma is subjective. Anything the brain cannot cope with or handle in that moment is trauma and is valid trauma.
    We hope you all have a peaceful day/evening/weekend and we look forward to seeing more videos whenever they are posted.

    The body image part for me is the hardest to deal with even though I've been through much worse trauma, I think it's because I have to live in my body every day but I don't have to deal with my other triggers on a daily/ hourly basis . It's so disheartening that body shaming gets sort of written off by professionals and people as ' not traumatic enough' . You guys where so strong sitting down telling your story to us, I'm so proud of you, I'm gonna emulate some that bravery for my next therapy session ! I hope everyone is going well

      So true, my mom who used to beat me and verbally abuse me as a child, doesn't do that anymore. But she still keeps commenting on my appearance, even though I asked her many times not to do that. Even we she gives a compliment or says something about my son it's triggering. It sounds to me as if she's saying: now you are finally up to my beauty standards. I hate it. I don't want my body to be assessed in any way.

    What you've been through was definitely traumatic, and none of it was your fault. You were, and are, innocent and good. Thank you for sharing your experiences, even though it's hard. It helps to hear from people who have been through similar things. Especially things some people don't want to hear about/think about. Just from following your channel, we can see how far you have come and how hard you have worked. We believe things will continue to get better from here. We believe in you.

    I am so sorry you had to go through all this. I did not experience SA fortunately but bullying and being picked up on because of your weight by siblings is a day to day struggle even now. From the age of 7 to 13, I had no friends bc I had a different religion.
    And you're so right about animals being easier to understand...
    Lots of love and support from this singlet 💚

    @-Anoush- 3 роки тому +8

    Thank you for sharing. At first, I did feel reluctant in group therapy to take up time because the others "had it worse than me". On the other hand, the fact that others who went through things that I deemed worse than my experience and faced and solved their issues also gave me strength to face and solve my own past. Comparing my experience to that of other people has mostly validated my experience as traumatic because others "counted" similar experiences as traumatic too. You have succeeded in communicating this important validation and in doing so created an opportunity for others to heal.

    I'm a singlet but I have CPTSD, someone I've known for a very long time said "that doesn't sound like abuse" because it was a state of constant fear as it was mostly verbal abuse. It's haunted me for about a year that "I haven't been abused enough" to feel valid. Thank you incredibly much for speaking about your trauma, it's hard to do in a therapeutic/professional setting or ever because trauma is shitty and if I don't have to think about it I don't want to. You all are incredibly strong, I love both Acrylic and Aether for being so open and I'm happy to have found you. I love that you don't sugarcoat things, it makes it easier to relate. I've been having a very rough time feeling my trauma is valid enough for CPSTD so thank you so much again. I can't imagine how helpful this was to DID systems, I really admire everyone's presence on this channel. I hope everyone is doing well! I love you all again! 💟💟💟💟

    That was the most moving piece of film I have ever seen. You let us into the most personal part of yourself, something that was incredibly brave! You have left a strong message that trauma is trauma and no one can judge. I too was bullied, and went through many painful surgeries. I do not have DID, but can relate to the pain and loneliness you felt! You are not alone and you are worthy of love and happiness!!! Thank you!

  • @margoreid3046
    @margoreid3046 3 роки тому +4

    I hear you, and I love you. You are very brave and amazing for sharing this. I'm sorry if my comment is scrambled as I have DID myself.
    I really connect with your story, and you have my deepest empathy. People who compare trauma are very unwise in my opinion. As I've healed my own horrendous trauma I've been able to see and feel that it's all equal. I can see your strength in the woman, and survivor you are today, and I can image the strength you had as a child to survive. It's unbelievably unfair, and you deserved better. You should never have been put in a situation where you had to survive, but you were, and you survived. You have my respect and admiration.
    "So I withdrew, from life really" This line hit me. It's tragic. You no longer have to be withdrawn, and I'm sure you know that. My heart aches for the child who did have to withdraw to survive.
    The adults you grew up around are very ugly people, and I'm not talking about how they look. You've made it through to the other side of their abuse, and now you finally have the chance to show the world the beautiful person you are. You we're always a beautiful soul, despite the people around you bullying you, and shaming and degrading you, and trying to make you believe otherwise.
    I think it's amazing and a testament to your strength and ability to heal that you've shared this with us. I'm excited to see where you (and your partner) go next. I'm rooting for you.

    Thank you guys for speaking on this. It takes a lot of guts to speak about traumas and ya'll didn't have to, but it was very informative and very appreciated. Moral of the story, you are traumatized enough, you are valid. everything you went through is valid. and you are not alone. none of us are. your darkest times may have made you who you are but they do not define you. that is perfect. Thank you guys again for doing this, and we love you all.

    Horses are the best creatures. And just as a fact, you're very beautiful. But beauty is not as valuable as people make it sound. There are so many other things in life. My mom was very beautiful, it never made her happy. Yet she always enforced her beauty standards apon us. So I as a host often feel in conflict with the body. Thankfully I have alters who are better connected to it and help to take care of it, so that we all can stay healthy. They encourage me to create my own body in the inner world to stop worrying about my outword appearance so much. So I am working on that, though it's not easy.

    I was in some of the same situations you were in. I lost my best friend in 6th grade. He went his way and I was left staying away. My parents demanded performance. But perfect wasn't good enough. I ended up spending my entire senior year alone without any significant friends to speak with about anything. I went to school. I went home. Even my sister admits that I didn't have a childhood, either. I was expected to be...more. I was told from the age of 3 that my parents had ordered me from Sears and Roebuck, that I was on their maintenance agreement for all the appliances and woodworking tools. and, should I be found defective, I could always be returned for an updated model. So, in many ways, I relate to you and I want to thank you for sharing. Not happy, but necessary. It helps knowing where you're coming from.

    You lived with emotional abuse. You should have been taken out of there. I am so sorry you had such a difficult and unloving childhood. You deserve to be loved and to know its okay to love.
    I do not know how DID works, but I am learning a lot by watching you guy's videos. I am sorry to say that it doesn't sound like there was a healthy adult in the whole of your childhood. Everyone is unique in their own way. How they treated you had nothing to do with you. They were the ones with problems and they took them out on you. That includes your siblings who bullied and abused you. You were with adults who should have been in therapy themselves. They had no idea how to honor you like you deserved to be as a child.
    You are equal in value to every human being on this planet. You deserve to heal and begin to feel freedom from the emotional weight you carry. I think you are wonderful. And you are talented. It sounds to me when you talk like you are really becoming strong. Sorry for writing so much its just that I couldn't help at least showing you how much I care about you.. I wish you the best!
    And thank you for the beautiful things you make! 🕊❤️🕊

    We have a lot of trouble accepting that our trauma was enough. We hear a lot of physical and sexual abuse, but so much of ours was very quiet neglect and life experiences that weren't able to be avoided and we didn't receive the support we needed for. We were always a lonely child, and when our mom's mental health went down the drain at the same time that our dad lost his job and we had our house foreclosed on, our needs (especially our emotional ones) fell to the wayside. It ultimately amounted to us having to be our own caretaker, as well as our mother's later on. It makes a lot of sense that one of our earliest parts is a caretaker/emotional protector who doesn't feel loneliness and doesn't need others, makes sure we eat, and tends to come out when we're getting emotional to mask it from others.

    I've always avoided talking about childhood trauma bc we have a deeply ingrained fear of being told it wasn't that bad, someone always had it worse. It's incredibly inspiring to hear someone talk about their trauma. It feels less lonely somehow.

  • @c_mann6558
    @c_mann6558 3 роки тому +1

    Thank you for opening up and talking about your trauma. I don't have DID but lately, mental health has been really hard. I connected a little about the friendships and things about (TW: for eating disorder ) dealing with constant input about what to eat, how much, and when. Recently, I was diagnosed with an eating disorder, and it's really hard, especially going back to college again. Kids during elementary, middle, and high school can be so cruel and those words/actions can last a long time. You truly don't know what is going on in people's lives. It's like the tip of the iceberg concept in psychology (I'm a psychology major), you only see a little and what people choose you to see. I hate when people try to diagnose or tell others that they do or don't have something. Everyone is different and how people perceive and think is different. Again, thank you for being open and vulnerable. This channel has been a really safe space to just watch videos, learn, and meet some nice people. So thank you all for making this a safe space. 💙

    Thank you for the trigger warning. My personal trigger was not listed but it's so weirdly spesific that I wasn't expecting to see that there. Not comfortable saying what it is, still have a lot of shame etc around it... But the warning helped quite a lot anyway, I only got a minor "jump scare" kind of feeling (shocked?) when you said the thing and then it eased out slowly.

    I'm so proud of every single one of you.
    Look how you guys turned out to be regardless of EVERYTHING.
    You never deserved ANY of the awful shit life put you through. It's not your fault. Kids are fkn evil (I was bullied too for many years). They are weak people who enjoys fucking up others, it wasn't about us or what we looked like. They would've found something to pick on. Like anything, if we look long enough. Anyways, definitely NOT you guys fault.
    A strange sidenote, before the talk started I noticed your hair rly suits you guys (yes, all of you). If it's a female I without a doubt see a female haircut and it's a male I see a male cut. It's the SAME hair right like how?! xD It's soooo cool it just fits all of you. You're beautiful inside out and you deserve a great life ❤️
    And, again you're beautiful people inside out. Lots of love to all of you in the system. Thank you so much for all of your videos and support ❤️

    You are beautiful and so strong. I dealt with a lot of trauma as a child. I'm surprised I don't have DID but I know something is wrong with me. I just want a better life for my daughter. She has ADHD and is bullied relentlessly. She has meltdowns similar to your brother, despite many different medications. She is beautiful and smart and I have her in therapy but nothing seems to work. I won't give up. Thank you for sharing your trauma, I know so many can relate, including myself. ❤💪❤ Edit: After watching this video I fully understand your reply on the last video I commented on.

    I am so grateful for this video. Really, my story isn't a perfect copy of yours, but many of the things you mentioned resonated a lot with me. And quite often I doubt my own story, or wheter it is outrageous to call it traumatic. Especally the part about not actually being hit (or not too badly) but being scared what else they might do... It feels very validating to me, knowing, my own story might as well could have caused DID (instead of C-PTSD) so therefore it was HORRIBLE what I've gone through infact. Sending love to you all from switzerland

    Thank you so much for sharing, it breaks my heart but at the same time it feels good to not be alone❤ I got the diagnosis of PTSD last March, the whole month of November they didn't care about it, they want to check old scans again for epilepsy. My therapist has quit on me and my abusive ex and his family are gone. In my dissociative state I unfortunately called my family that I had tried to break it off with, my adoptive mother and brother who's been even worse after dad died five years ago... the rest of the family doesn't know how awful they still abuse me and think they are supportive or they don't want to get involved. Both families are pretty dysfunctional. I just want to be gone and get away, I feel so trapped.
    Is there any support group on Facebook or somewhere else that any of you know is safe? I'm hesitant to join any for DID/OSDD when I'm not sure, only thing I'm sure of is that it's CPTSD with periods of dissociation. Sorry for the long comment, it brought back some things and without a professional to talk to it's very hard to hold it in. Thank you again for creating this great channel and community😊

    "You're not traumatized enough for that" ok but why. What even is "traumatized enough". I beseech you, person, so now take your fake license elsewhere.

    Listening to how you explain about your missing years of memories that is what I struggle with
    I also have aphantasia which is no ability to mentally picture anything eg no imagination of images at all however trauma is different I get flashes and they are uncontrolled so doesnt matter if I want to see it or not
    I have also had numerous traumatic experiences from a very early age (before normal cognitive memory are usually formed) all the way til recently
    When I get triggered by something I will react usually 1 of 3 ways
    1 flee
    2 cry or panicked attack
    3 zone off looking at nothing for unreasonable amounts of time completely oblivious to my surroundings I can some times kinda realize I'm zoned out and can fix it but more often I'll end up zoned out again soon after this can last anywhere from a few seconds to maybe 10 mins which from my understanding is disassociating
    In my country DID is exceptionally hard to even get a specialist to admit it's a real condition they will usually diagnose PTSD and schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder and depression
    I have had difficult experiences with therapy here so I avoid it
    Closest I've come is being told I might have a "personality disfunction" due to being able to talk about past trauma so numbly
    I watch so many videos trying to find something that sounds similar to what I go through with this I havent had missing time that I know of but in saying that I have no time keeping skills I'm always late dinner is ways usually at 10pm or later for me and my partner when I cook etc
    If you know of anyone who may sound kind of Similar that you can think of could you maybe put me in contact with them or point me to a video that maybe is similar I just dont really know where to look any more
    And I'm also so sorry about trauma and the comments you got from people about your body etc I had the same so my inner voice always tells me the same line when I buy clothes or try to look good for me its "suck your stomach in" that really sticks

    Thank you Max and Ashley for sharing your trauma. It was an honor that you shared with us #gobsquad.
    And wow I really connected with your childhood. Sure, difference in details and experience, but the part about having nowhere safe to go. My mother was verbally abusive and neglectful. I lived in filth and at 7 I was washing my on clothes and making my own meals. My mother ridiculed me and made fun of everything about me including my weight. She and my sister would pick me apart until I cried, and then they told me I was too sensitive. I was bullied at school, and not just with words. I was often assaulted by other kids all through grade school. The school did nothing. I had nowhere safe. I used to purposely get to school late so that everyone was there I ahead of me and I could walk safely. I was suicidal as a child but I knew if I could make it to 18 I could get away.
    Things did get better for me, too, in high school. I only had one crazy household to deal with, but the feeling of a child trapped and no control and nowhere to go to be safe was something I related to ALOT.
    Thank for sharing. Sending much love. - Anne

    I liked the video because there is no "send a cyber hug" button. I relate so much to what you said Max. I recognise the despair in your voice as you mourn the "loss" of a "normal" childhood experience.

    Thank you for your strength. All that’s in you is so appreciated. I am so happy you have a place here online that allows you to sift through the pieces of your anti-childhood in a place of no judgment. We don’t care about hair color, weight, or sexuality here. The space you’ve created online, is everything you needed back then it seems, and now you’ve given it to us. And I am so proud to be constantly reassured there are precious like-minded humans that exist, and persevere with unconditional compassion for the human experience. Yes Acrylic. So proud!

    I've found refuge in horses, too. I've been an equestrian for 18 years now and you're so right. Horses are honest and easy to communicate with. Being with my horse is the only way I can truly relax and forget about all my troubles.
    Animals in general are a blessing ❤️

    Thank you for sharing your story.. you have my utmost solidarity as someone who also went through SA from their brother & divorce within a short period at a similar age. I was fortunate enough to experience a mostly happy childhood, but the trauma really catches up to you.. Anyway thank you for helping me feel less alone, and I hope your current community & support system help you all feel less alone as well. Love & healing wishes to you all.

I can't believe people can be so awful. Don't forget you are a great system, you are a survivor, you were able to make it through, you are our inspiration ❤ even if I don't have DID you are helping me to get through some stuff in my life. This is a huge thank you for you and all of love!

    a former host here (Guy, as you see, my system took over my name consensually of course because I do think I plan on gaining back my identity in the future). thank you so much for sharing, I haven’t been out a lot in the last year because of the discovery of DID and etc. it does make me feel more comfortable to live when somebody similar to me speaks up about experiences most people don’t understand.

    I remember when only a small part of my trauma was in my life and I knew about it I told my therapist and he told me “that is not bad enough for you to have a disorder like that”
    Later he apologised tho.. I could kinda see he felt bad.
    You’re very strong and thank you for this video even though you didn’t have to share it. You have all our support everyone does
