DID word meanings and common acronyms

Even though I've lived with DID most of my life, because It's kept a secerate from the rest of my family I don't know a lot about DID, but after reading this I feel as if not only do I understand myself better, but I got to other stand my "inside friends" better. So thank you for all your hard work!

Thanks. It's very helpful.

Thank u so much for this post. It is helpful.

This post was incredibly helpful; thank you ^_^

Hello again.

I was wondering if you should add "mediakin/fictives" (I know these words both some people, so I apologize in advance, but that's what we use) for those of us who are from literature, comic books, movies, or television (Minerva is from the Potterverse, for example)

Just thought I'd throw that in there ^_^

^Stray question: would the terms 'mediakin' or 'fictives' be applicable to alters who are from music? I assume that at least the former would, but just in case.

That would make the most sense to me, to include them in that "type" for lack of a better term

(and I believe my earlier post should say "bother", not "both" XD)

i can't edit the original post anymore, so maybe try PMing one of the moderators for this forum? they might be able to do that.

glad it's helping so many people!

What is a T? I've been seeing it used here a lot.

Edit: Nevermind, figured it out. It's therapist. You should really add that one though; I'm sure I'm not the only one who was confused at first.

Really good point. I added T for therapist into the list.
