spittxt:

also i find it funny it never occurs to these people that someone can have DID or OSDD without a diagnosis (which they SHOULD know that because they all claim self-dx) or without wanting to give it a medical label because it takes years to go through diagnosis and treatment, or maybe they just don’t want to medicalise their experiences and that’s valid too. there’s a lot of reasons why someone might not seek out an official medical label and why they’d be uncomfortable just slapping a term to themselves 

what i find funny is how this attitude is considered somehow disrespectful but reading a few pages on a DID blog and telling everyone you have it immediately and shoving yourself into the community even tho you dont have confirmation, is considered the right thing to do apparently

This a thousand times.
