I just got fake claimed on my most popular DID post. It's happened to us as a system before, but never to me? Stings. A lot. It's soooo ignorant of my struggles AS a DID system/having DID. I surmise it's the same for all systems.
Having DID is not fun, but I'm not going to disclaim that with every single post. It took me ~10 years to come out as having DID, to come to terms with having it at all.
I wish people were just...more empathetic. At the end of the day, I constantly worry whether my alters and I are faking -- but it's because of this that I don't particularly care so much about people who are faking DID vs. whether people who have DID or think they have DID are receiving support/acceptance/etc.
