We have had a DID diagnosis for quite a long time. We have had lots of therapy and are relatively well-supported.

We do present as different ones of us and different ages and stages at different times, but we avoid sharing publicly about details - names, etc. - mostly for safety reasons.

This means we often come across as inconsistent, ditzy, childlike, or forgetful - that's because we're masking our multiplicity. Please be patient if you can.

We are generally fairly resilient and well-practiced at self-regulation, but we can get avoidant and tend to retreat, especially socially. I (speaking for myself) love to see other plurals exploring and being able to make sense of their own experiences freely and as part of a supportive community, even though we are a bit more guarded than some systems.

Wishing care and safety to all who read this - please be as circumspect as you need to.

Hi, the Mastodons. I don't know how this works yet or how active I'll be here, but I thought I'd introduce myself.

I'm a UK-based female AuDHD adult, choosing to remain mostly anonymous. I'm really just curious about how the Fediverse works - I can be ambivalent about social media but I thought this sounded refreshing in contrast to the big, powerful platforms which feel scarier to me by the minute. I've also been getting to grips with Linux recently, and am thinking about other ways within my limited means and courage to try to be involved with more of the small things that are about moving away from exploitation and towards caring for each other.

Take care out there :)
