4chan

Makes fun of fat people

Yeah... The call is coming from inside the house.

[–] match@pawb.social 30 points 1 month ago (1 children)

4channers hate themselves far more than they could ever hate anyone else

[–] teslasaur@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago

Haha. I don't think anyone on Lemmy should be so quick to call others out for self hate. The amount of "oh look at me, i'm broken" posts on lemmy per minute, even exceeds the amount of their genders.

I can think of another f word thet love using.

[–] lostme@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Considering all their stories are fake and gay they probably have that pass too

Multiple personality disorder isn't a thing. Having multiple personalities as a result of disassocitive identity disorder isn't a thing.

The supporters of the idea that multiple personalities exist rest their faulty belief on shoddy studies and unproven beliefs.

Mental health clinician here. Everyone I've ever encountered with a DID diagnosis or who claimed to have multiple personalities instead had either PTSD or Borderline Personality Disorder or both. I genuinely believe DID does not exist as a standalone diagnosis.

People who think they have DID often respond well to Dialectical Behavior Therapy and/or trauma therapy, depending on their specific needs, which are the primary treatments for BPD and PTSD, respectively.

[–] Semester3383@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

My spouse had a therapist that tried very hard to convince them that they had MPD (before it was rolled into DID) and repressed memories; they dumped the counselor. And yeah, they have CPTSD from familial abuse.

The perspective I'm coming at this from is that a lot of these super-fringe ideas really got off the ground with the Satanic Panic that started very small in the late 70s, and went on through the 90s; you had groups like RAMCOA (Ritual Abuse, Mind Control and Organised Abuse Special Interest Group) that pushed really wacky ideas as being absolutely true, you had people insisting that repressed memories were 100% real rather than being things that you'd simply forgotten or fabricated memories (the work of Dr. Elizabeth Loftus shows how memories can be fabricated, and strongly suggests that 'repressed memories' don't exist in the way that was popularized in the 80s), that multiple personalities were 'fractured' personalities that sprang into being to protect the self, and so on. The people that came up with these batshit ideas are still around, pushing the same nonsense, but they keep changing the names to try and give them a veneer of reasonableness.

And yet, if that's the way that shit really worked, you should see that often with highly traumatized people; you should see DID and repressed memories in soldiers that have been in intense combat, in torture victims, in people that have lived through extreme, long-lasting abuse from parents and partners. Instead you see people that can't forget the terrible things that happened, people that have a trauma response with certain sounds, smells, etc. (triggers).

I should add there's a 3rd category of people I've encountered who have DID: people who have therapists who convinced them they have DID. We've definitely recommended some people terminate toxic relationships with therapists.

[–] Semester3383@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Right, but they don't have DID, they believe they have DID. Obviously that's not the same thing. (Yeah, I know, it's pedantic.) I absolutely agree with you about dumping toxic 'therapists'.

[–] protist@mander.xyz 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You're right, but my entire point is no one has DID 😂

[–] DacoTaco@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

How about projection? As in, you imagine a personality/character and you project it upon yourself as to become said person. What would that fall under?

[–] protist@mander.xyz 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The psychological term "projection" means something totally different. What you're describing doesn't sound like any mental health condition I'm aware of

[–] DacoTaco@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Pure curiosity now, as i love this stuff, but what is projection then?
And what i meant is to go as far that the person basically becomes the 'projected' person

[–] protist@mander.xyz 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Projection is an ego defense mechanism where someone denies a negative aspect of their own personality or behavior and instead accuses someone else of being that way.

An example is someone who's guilty of something may attempt to blame others for being guilty of that thing. This is mostly an unconscious thought process, people who do it on purpose aren't projecting

[–] DacoTaco@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Oh, i get it, thanks! Kinda like projecting the bad things on somebody else to make yourself feel better about it. Cool!

[–] HexadecimalSky@lemmy.world 28 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Hey I sometimes go a few days without eating and I know how to cook, so I don't think if I had some personality dissonance id do any better.

[–] teslasaur@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (2 children)
[–] xep@fedia.io 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's fine to fast for a couple days as long as you keep your electrolytes up and drink lots of water.

[–] HexadecimalSky@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

yes.....fasting.....totally not just forgetting to eat until I start blacking out....hahaha....

[–] HexadecimalSky@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

I mean, its not, but eh

[–] Fleur_@aussie.zone 3 points 1 month ago

Sameee. After the 2nd day I start looking really lean and fit so it's hard to start eating again lol

[–] MrShankles@reddthat.com 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Having multiple personalities, but they all have depression :(

[–] HexadecimalSky@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Depression^3^

Best of luck y'all

[–] blockheadjt@sh.itjust.works 22 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Went a day without eating a meal, more likely. You don't need to know how to cook to go through a sleeve of crackers and a block of cheese

[–] MrShankles@reddthat.com 6 points 1 month ago

Out of cheese‽ Twooo sleeves of crackers it is then

[–] wesker@lemmy.sdf.org 21 points 1 month ago (1 children)

[–] LemUrun@pawb.social 3 points 1 month ago

Big Smoke said, that he's hungry. So he returned for more.

[–] wesker@lemmy.sdf.org 0 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

...and the picklesss?

[–] Almonds@mander.xyz 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'm sure this is referring to the fact that there are plenty of foods that don't require cooking. But binge-restrict disorders often end up in a caloric excess for a variety of reasons

[–] teslasaur@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Uhm... Sure. Lets just gloss over the 400 types of personality disorder i guess. But the headline specifically states "one day without eating"

The cooking part is just the funny bit

[–] Almonds@mander.xyz 13 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Dissociative identity disorder is not a personality disorder, it's a dissociative disorder.

It's 4chan so we can't even take the OP at face value for what the couple actually believes or said

[–] skisnow@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 month ago

The text is in the font and writing style of the Daily Mail, so even more so. There's a pretty high chance the reporter never even spoke to them.

[–] teslasaur@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

TIL. But it's hardly necesessary to have a PHD in psychiatry to understand the funny part in this.

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 6 points 1 month ago

No, see, a bunch more of those personalities make up the difference with interest because they're bankers.

[–] tungsten5@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 month ago

If those people are real then they should not be living alone
