hi uhh ive been meaning to say this so

as someone with a dissociative disorder, here are some things id appreciate if other people knew
most things here arent >just< about ppl with dissociative disorders btw, but it applies, to me at least
1. dereality / derealization

please put a cw or tw for dereality!

stuff like "its all cake", "this is all just a dream" and things on that line of thinking.

it triggers my dissociation a lot, and my worst episode was actually because of the cake meme when i first heard abt it
2. nonsense (?)

be careful when posting things that purposefully dont make sense (ex.: this video) because they can also trigger dissociation. if you do post them, make it clear that it's supposed to not make any sense.
also relating to number 2, these images

i think theyre made to simulate someone who had a stroke (and you cant identify anything in it), im not sure, but they trigger me a lot. try not to post them or put a caption to make it clear that its one of those pics
3. inside jokes

im obviously not saying you shouldnt have/make inside jokes, thats not it. but if its something thats complete nonsense, maybe put a tone indicator (inside joke: /ij)
4. clickbait

this is the worst one for me.

im begging you to please PLEASE put the /cb (clickbait) tone indicator when posting something like "omg did you see the thing at 2:45?" just to get views to an mv.

i always sb oomfs who post/repost this stuff without a tone indicator+
because its very dissociation inducing for me to look for something thats not there and see everyone agreeing with it in the replies.

also you're gonnanget 10 views max out of it its not worth it lmao
these are the ones i could think of rn !

also let me make it clear that its not everytime that this stuff is going to trigger my dissociation, it depends on the context. if i know its not supposed to make sense its not bad.
im also not speaking for everyone with dissociation disorders, this is more about myself but im sure some other people will relate to it.

just... please. the safety of your mutuals is more important than a meme or a little joke.
also, about the inside jokes, im saying to put the /ij when youre posting it publicly. if its with someone who knows the joke ofc you dont need to

so apparently those images arent to simulate a stroke! but my point still stands https://twitter.com/Wegothim2/status/1321187455693967360?s=19
