We are aware that there is hissing in the audio and that the audio is only present in the left earbud. It is a microphone malfunction and we are looking into how to fix it. Ideally we’ll be getting a new microphone soon. Please bear with us in the mean time. -Kim Kim

I have OSDD-1b
Thank you for covering my system's disorder!! I have been accused for faking multiple times simply because my disorder manifests differently than those with DID

[Anadriana]

Ouch. I do have something like "different parts of self". The most distinct is the 8-year-old me, with whom I recently had an interaction and co-experienced a flashback, as my psychologist explained it to me. My psychologist tried to talk to me about the possibility of dissociative disorder but, being a smartass, I just brushed it aside "because I have no memory gaps". Thanks, I'm going to look into it now.

I never knew OSDD-1B was a thing yet I always experienced it. I thought I was just making shit up cause I didn't get amnesia between alters. But my whole personality changes, the way I walk changes, my sexuality changes even my posture changes with each alter... I'm actually crying. This gave me a massive realization about myself. I guess I can't be 100% sure until I get a full diagnosis. If you have any advice please let me know and yes I will be getting a full evaluation soon. I already know not to self diagnose without contacting a professional about it

[saddragon]

wow. I always felt I had similarities with DID but never thought I had it 'full blown'. Thank you for bringing these diagnoses to my attention! I'm definitely going to talk to my therapist about OSDD-1b!!

[georgerobins]

OSDD 1b system here, pretty much everyone is some level of cocon at any given moment and it can be really disorienting and invalidating (especially with the "am I faking?" thing) so thank you so so much for talking about that, we love you! ❤️❤️❤️

I love how the dark tones in your hair really bring out your eyes

[BlueJayBaby]

Hi there! We’re an OSDD-1B system! Thank you so so much for talking about this. We only discovered that we’re a system this past summer, and this has been so educational for us.
We had another OSDD system friend sit with us (after talking about how we suspected we might be a system, wanted to try and bring someone forward), and they brought forward our main protector, who when asked about his memories, simply said that he had all of my (the host) memories.

The whole system being co-conscious makes so much sense now, because often times even if I ‘step back’ and I’m ‘not present’, I still remember the things alters may have done in my place, maybe just not vividly.

This was truly a wonderful video, and I can’t wait to celebrate my first system pride day in 2024!!! <333

Thank you so much,

Jay/The OuterWorld System

In honor of System Pride Day, I'm pulling on my big girl britches and finally going to a psychologist! I've been trying to ignore my symptoms for the longest time, and now it's finally time to get the help I need and deserve to make sure it's not as bad as my brain is making it out to be.

Also love the hair!

[mudkipjuice]

Thank you for the recognition! We're an OSDD1b system and we struggle to find recognition and acceptance even within the multiple community. We need more videos like this from DID systems since there are tons of systems out there lost and confused because they dont have DID but dont know about OSDD. I hope this reaches some of those people. For system pride day our alter Alfie is gonna start his own channel to add our experience to the community to hopefully help even more people

Someone with OSDD 1a here. I really needed to see this video. Incredibly informative and validating and I feel much less alone now x

[hiraethsystem]

It's really frustrating because my therapist diagnosed me with DID, but I would come closer to considering it OSDD1-b. The problem is, my therapist is not super well-versed in dissociative disorders, so I had to explain to her what the difference even was between the two. But DID is my diagnosis, and it's an easier shorthand to use, so that's what I tell people. Maybe I shouldn't though...it's complicated.

[jordanjones]

For years I've felt I've had a dissociative identity disorder because I have alters, but I had no amnesia and am aware of what's going on at all times, so I thought maybe I was faking and have never brought it up with anyone in fear of being called a poser or a faker doing it for attention. Thanks to this video I'll soon be going to a therapist to get help. Thank you.

[tglsystem]

We're a 1a system, and it seems like there's very few people talking about it on Youtube, and even less (maybe none) who are 1a systems themselves. We've started making videos to try and fix that, but it's difficult. I hope that more people get to learn about the full spectrum of dissociative disorders, including the rarer ones.

[serenity]

we're osdd-1, and it feels really good to see a bigger system on youtube covering it !! <33

[andirogynous]

We're so excited to hear you talk about this! We are a 1B system, and for a really long time we didn't know that was even a thing. We knew we were a system, but we didn't quite match up with DID and nobody was talking about OSDD. It caused a ton of insecurity and denial.
We still aren't out about being a system, but Annedrew is planning on making a subtle bracelet for us to wear 😊

[slinkvonslunk]

Thank you for so much for talking about this!!! I have OSDD1B and I've always felt "fake" because of the ease of contact I have with my alters - I've always felt that since I can contact them easily, I must just be "talking to myself" like an elaborate roleplay where I play both parts. But just hearing you say that it's "much easier for the whole system to be coconscious at the same time" was powerful enough to make me tear up. I never imagined something as simple as that would make me so emotional but it's so incredibly validating to hear this because I never really get to hear from OSDD systems on YouTube, so I always get so caught up in how different I present than a DID system (which makes sense cus that's not what we are haha) but yeah! Thank you for talking about OSDD systems, I never hear about them and it really just means a lot ♥️

[jamierights]

Honestly this makes me wanna cry lmao, I've had DID systems curse me out saying I was "faking DID" when I have OSDD-1b...I thought they were my friends but they actually attacked me for this and gave me panic attacks...It was so bad it increased on my PTSD.Seeing this video actually makes me so happy.

[TheDevler]

Thank you for this educational video. I'm 36 days into self isolation and suddenly facing the reality that I most likely have OSDD1a. I'm terrified. idk how I made it to my mid 30's without really knowing or understanding what was happening to me. Now I have to start figuring out how to deal with this, while not having access to most of my mental health team. I have a trauma therapist who has been helping me for many years, and we have been doing video sessions during this outbreak. But I don't have the ability to see my new psychiatrist until this is all over. So I'm watching videos and trying to read medical journals or anything I can get my hands on in isolation. I just found your channel and I'm SO THANKFUL!!
