Most people would love to give back to their communities - but don't know where to start. Giving back can seem so significant, but the simple truth is that even the smallest acts of kindness can make a difference.

Unseen Heroes
A disability is any kind of condition that makes it more difficult for a person to do a variety of activities or interact with the world. There are a plethora of conditions that make a person unable to live a normal life. Also, a lot of disabilities are not obvious and society tends to treat people with special needs with well-behaved discomfort.

“Fake Disorder Cringe”
ELLIS| At first it was simple. Make a few tik toks, tag it with #actuallyDID and #DIDsystem, and joyfully watch as fellow systems follow me and like my videos. Harmless, right? Wrong. Months go by and I gain around 1400 followers. Most, I suspect, were bots, but nonetheless a following. I truly did, at the beginning, believe in every system that came across my way. When I suddenly stopped being online so much and really interacted with people, those who I had things in common with and things different as well, I realized my horrible mistake. I had fallen into this trap of “everyone is valid” in terms of a serious trauma disorder. I had interacted with so, so many “endogenic” (originating without trauma) systems, who claimed their dissorder had spontaneously, or even worse intentionally, occurred. Now, let’s talk some science. Dissociative Identity Disorder is characterized as a CHILDHOOD TRAUMA RELATED DISORDER with a separation in identity, occurring from ages 6-9 I believe. So, when I was told that the system talking to me was endogenic, I believed it simply because “hey, maybe they don’t remember their trauma due to the amnesia present within the disorder”. But the things I started to see patterns in, such as high alter counts (not saying every large system is faking, there are cases such as Jeni Haynes you can research), large amounts of unrelated “fictives” (alters who have the identity of a pre-existing character), or false memories (dare I say unrelated to the body‘s trauma) being present within many of those fictives, led me to start being suspicious of the validity of their disorder. And, you can fight all you want in the comments, this is simply my experience as a person with DID.

Growing up back then to now
Growing up, we played jump rope, sports, hopscotch, ran, rode bikes, and used our imagination. Something as simple as a box could be a car, a spaceship, a house, anything you wanted it to be. I didn't know a kid who didn't spend most of their time outside. As long as you were home before the street lights came on. I may be biased to say my generation is probably the last generation that were real kids. I can say, with an honest heart, that I'm glad and relieved that I grew up in the decade I did.
