Can OSDD systems be Polyfragmented?
OSDD-1A is just as severe of a disorder as DID. Different dissociated parts all having the same identity doesn’t prevent the possibility of having 100 or more parts, which is what polyfragmentation is. The only difference in DID and OSDD-1A are the distinct/non distinct identity states, and that’s it.
Can OSDD 1b systems have Fictives?
We personally do not have many fictives, but that’s just because of how our brain and system work. There really is no “normal” for any mental disorder, especially osdd or did. Truly, every system is different and it probably depends on lifestyle, environment, and imagination of the child.
Do people with OSDD-1A have alters?
OSDD-1a describes a system with the same amnesia barriers as DID, but less ‘distinct’ alters. These alters can still have different names, genders, and so on, but often tend to reflect the same base person at different ages, or in different emotional states.
What is the difference between OSDD-1A and 1b?
Most commonly, this describes individuals who have dissociative parts that are not sufficiently differentiated to qualify as alters (sometimes known as OSDD-1a) or individuals who do not have amnesia between alters (sometimes known as OSDD-1b).
How many alters do you need to be Polyfragmented?
There’s a term for having over 100 alters – it’s called Polyfragmented Dissociative Disorder, or DDNOS. While we don’t have over 100 alters personally (it’s about 13), we do have ‘fragments’, which are usually combinations of two or more alters (for example, Darkness-Anger is one of the many fragments).
What makes a system Polyfragmented?
Polyfragmented systems are most commonly defined as systems that have over 100 system members. Sometimes they are also defined as systems with dozens of members, or systems that have lots of subsystems.
Can a DID system be all Fictives?
There are a few assumptions that people have about fictional introjects in DID, but the reality is that there are no concrete characteristics that all fictives possess. Dissociative identity disorder in itself consists of such varying experiences, and DID alters are no different.
Can Osdd go away?
There is no quick fix for DID or OSDD. Treatment takes time, patience, and dedication. In early treatment, dissociative disorders do not typically respond well to standard EMDR or other interventions that do not take into account severe dissociation. Those with dissociative disorders need to work slowly in therapy.
Can you have both OSDD and DID?
These may be at a less severe or less frequent level than those who have DID but DDNOS/OSDD are complex dissociative disorders, which can be as difficult to live with as DID. As with DID, there can be a myriad of both conversion type dissociative symptoms and co-existing non-dissociative problems.
How do you know if you have OSDD 1b?
A person who has DID or DDNOS/OSDD may experience many of the following.
- gaps in memory.
- finding yourself in a strange place without knowing how you got there.
- out-of-body experiences.
- loss of feeling in parts of your body.
- distorted views of your body.
- forgetting important personal information.
Is osdd-1a the only possible presentation of OSDD?
All of that said, OSDD-1a is not the only possible presentation of OSDD-1. Many individuals with OSDD-1 do not experience inter-identity amnesia but may have more developed parts. In some cases, OSDD-1 parts can be highly distinct and have strong independent senses of self.
How do dissociated parts present with osdd-1a?
For individuals with OSDD-1a, dissociated parts are more likely to present as the same individual at different ages, as the same individual in different modes, or as different versions of the same individual. The individual may go by the same name regardless of which part is present, and each part may view itself as the main part.
Does osdd-1b experience Memory disruptions during normal daily life?
However, they do not experience memory disruptions between parts during their normal daily life. An individual with OSDD-1b has a subjectively continuous memory; different alters do not have different versions of their history for daily life because all relevant information is accessible to all alters.
Do people with osdd-1 have inter-identity amnesia?
Many individuals with OSDD-1 do not experience inter-identity amnesia but may have more developed parts. In some cases, OSDD-1 parts can be highly distinct and have strong independent senses of self. What separates these individuals from those with DID is that they do not black out or lose time.
