emotional amnesia— OH MY GOD IT HAS A NAME-

[yungyharnam]

Never, ever seen anyone talk about emotional amnesia... thanks.

[echocoraisnarylee]

I thought I had DID before I saw this, but I was so worried that I had just been subconsciously making it up or something because I never fit the description exactly. The first time one of my altars came out (normally they stay on the inside and just chat with me), I was even more worried that I had made this up because I didn't experience that amnesia, just an emotional detachment to the memories. It's a relief to know for sure that my condition is valid, just different than I thought, and so are my friends in my head.

I didn't know there were more diagnoses than just DID. That gives me hope that a professional will actually be able to help me. :)

I’ve been doing my best to explain why it’s so hard for me to answer the “how have you been since you last saw me” question from my therapist. I could only ever describe how I currently felt to her because I felt a whole completely different way a few days before and I was so detached from it now that I couldn’t begin to describe it or my thought process then. I didn’t even know emotional amnesia was a thing but it explains so much

You made me feel so VALID as an OSDD-1b system. Thank you!

Omg i knew it i was right, our host spiraled into denial a lot because we always say "we dont have trauma" but WE KNOW, we're not just one person. The emotional amnesia makes so much sense, the dissociation too but we still remember. Our alters have COMPLETELY different personalities and opinions. We used to think we were just overthinkers like we think different perspective, but this makes so much sense. We didn't want to assume a mental illness but this makes so much sense. We finally feel until the denial sets in again.

I’m still trying to figure out what kind of system I have. I’ve only recently started looking into dissociative disorders so everything feels weirdly foreign and familiar at the same time. I know I have alters since I spend a lot of time co-conscious but as a host I can’t seem to stop being at the front of the mind. A part of me wants to switch fully as a way of telling my alters I trust them but I can’t figure out how to do it and I can’t help but be a bit scared of what might happen to me if I stop fronting. I haven’t asked my alters what it’s like since I’m still trying to build up our communication skills and we aren’t at a point where free communication is possible yet.

I’m trying to figure out if I have DID or OSDD-1B or something related. This video was very helpful thx.

the emotional amnesia thing makes me feel so validated as an osdd-1b system! we try to not think about it and usually talk about our life in a general sense as to prevent extra dissociating from being uncomfortable about the emotional amnesia. we also have early life amnesia and god this video was great. on communication the closest we can do to communicate right now, as we dont have an inner world or anything, is we take all the information from what theyve done and when theyve fronted, and make an educated guess on how they would respond. its certainly not foolproof like i would assume our little likes chocolate (they dont and were very disappointed when discovering this) as the rest of us do, but in actuality they think its kinda icky. but its kinda like making headcanons for characters except the canon is just what the alter actually thinks. we also dont know how to switch and thus just let it come naturally

[stellarwulf]

Emotional amnesia reminds me of when in a dream you are playing the role a character and but that character isn't necessarily yourself. So you're doing stuff as that character in the dream but don't feel that character's emotions directly. Anyone else have that happen? That's just immediately what it reminded me of.

We are a newly discovered osdd-1b system :) love your videos. Thank you! I am still in so much denial. You make me feel so validated.

[gothboithick]

i’ve experienced emotional amnesia so many times and i can’t believe there’s a word for it. i gasped when i got to that part cause you described it exactly how it feels 😭

[wendit]

Your knowledge and confident (and pleasant) delivery will quickly place you amongst the more prominent educators/stigma fighters. I enjoy your videos!

[houndoomrulz]

Hi! This video is great!

I often feel like I'm neither DID or OSDD. My parts are distinct, so it's not 1a, I get some total amnesia so I'm not 1b, but then I also feel like I don't have total amnesia enough to qualify for DID (There's only one alter I get blackout amnesia for, and I've lost time maybe once in the past year)

[briss]

NO WAYYYY THE EMOTIONAL AMNESIA PART-
I talked to my friend who has DID about my dissociative symptoms and he told me he went through the exact same thing when he was diagnosed, so i did my research and found out about OSDD and now i’m here in this video, this explains a LOT of things but i’m still confused bc i do not feel like there’s other personalities in my head. On monday i’m going for the first time to a therapist (my mental health literally declined and i can’t anymore) i hope she knows about this ;(

[DIDmyOSDDshine-oqcg]

This is a very good description. There's so little talk about OSDD systems comparing to DID.

[orbitalwashere]

i’d like to thank you for creating the videos on did/osdd, i’ve been wondering for.. 2-3 years now if i have did/osdd yet subconsciously i’ve thought ‘what if i’m faking this?’ or ‘what if it’s an overreaction’ but watching these makes me feel more open to settling if i do or don’t because well.. it has more information of course, i’m not certain if i have a disorder like this but i’m beating myself up less for thinking about it.. so thank you :3

[saradodd]

Thank you so much! This was such a great video! We are a DID system. We know a lot about DID, but as it turned out we still have a lot to learn about OSDD-1.
Thank you for this insight. There are far too few DID chanals and a lot less OSDD-1 chanals. You are grately appreciated guys!
Keep up the great work and stay strong!
