In Summary:
Rando: "Did you know you're FAKING MPD?"
Me: "Hey other personality did you know we're faking MPD?"
Other personality: "Know I didn't, I should go and inform the rest of the system."

@shel I have no idea but I am all for foxes made out of coffee.

"why yes im admitting to having a condition that most people are familiar with from movies like Split, where the character with MPD is portrayed as a /literal monster/ because I want SJW Tumblr Points" <------It sounds ridiculous because it is.

It's also worth stating, as always, /what would I gain from faking an incredibly stigmatized and misunderstood condition/? What could I /possibly/ gain from that, what could anyone gain from that?

But yeah. Co-consciousness is a thing. I don't get why that's so hard to understand lol

The idea of "faking" multiplicity in general is ridiculous and dumb. If someone says they have multiple people in their head, /it's because it's really obvious to them/. It's not something someone can get "confused" about.

I also love the idea that I'm "faking" MPD because I use "tumblr terms" like "fronting" or "headspace" or "alters". Uhhhhhh, hate to break it to the people accusing me of that but, those aren't Tumblr terms.

Sometimes I get really ignorant comments about my MPD, like "You can't possibly have MPD you are way too functional!" which is absolutely bizarre to me. It's, entirely possible to have a functional MPD system with very little missing time.

And overcoming the emotional whiplash of that is honestly my biggest challenge at the moment.

it's actually been a pretty hard week the last week because well. I never expected to live long enough to graduate. I never expected to overcome all the stuff I've had to overcome just to get to this point.

my entire awooing for the next week is going to be like "OH MY GOSH IM GRADUATING HOLY HECK WTH IM GRADUATING?!?"

(Why yes this is absolutely the "rub it in their faces" post)

What some assholes on the internet have been trying to do since 2014:
Destroy my life.

What I've done since 2014:
Launched an OS
Got a business degree
Consulted with major tech companies
Served on the board of two nonprofits
Overcome trauma and disabiity
Transitioned
Found love

Hmmm. Sure sounds like I made better use of the last four years.

Sometimes when I'm taking a walk I just look at all that's around me, the sheer beauty of it. /Life/. And I just think of how lucky I am.

Days Where You're Obviously Not Abled:
"I literally cannot get out of bed today."
Society: "DRAIN ON THE SYSTEM, PARASITE, USELESS BREATHER!"
Days Where You're Passing As Abled:
"I feel fine today."
Society: "FAKING IT FAKING IT FAKING IT!"

There's no better music to do homework to then Metal Gear Solid music tbh.

(Things I love about this platform. I won't get some jerk in the comments going "but have you considered you're faking it for attention?")
